Exactly. Whilst he's obviously not that good, he is a goal poacher who gets into goalscoring positions. He seems to have that "natural goalscorer" instinct, which a few of our strikers-(whose overall game is way ahead of his at this stage) -sure don't, and for that reason he's a very handy sub...

I remember that as the one where the delays were so bad outside that eventually they let us in for a fiver cos we'd missed loads. Was still an enjoyable game though and Marsden was sublime. Was gutted when we didn't sign him up. If my memory is correct, Wegerle had a good match too and scored...

A win at Swindon? Wake Up! Only the Mayor of Simpleton would expect that. A draw would be Respectable Street. I'd Like That, but would be Stupidly Happy with a win and the boys would be feeling Ten Feet Tall. But it's early in the Season's Cycle so a draw away would do. Hopefully we won't be...

He's an arrogant, smug tosser of the Cameron type who has absolutely zero regard or respect for the fans. Of course it is inflammatory for such a patronising figure to brazenly parade around amongst the fans and to not expect a reaction is stupid and naive in the extreme. The bastard has played...

He sure did, great finish! My mate met him at one of the games in Nuneaton last weekend and had a bit of a chinwag. He says he came over as a really nice lad and he said that Robins has been doing a lot of coaching with him: trying to improve his decision making, awareness, encouraging him to do...

He was pretty good at pens, but would be a loser under this system..:

Finn and Devon KE sound lively too and you can see with the shape of the squad as it stands at present how those 4 and probably Maycock could feature with one or two knocks amongst the core senior squad.

Yes the squad listed in the link does include a lot of unproven youngsters, many of which might not feature. I do think we are lucky to have them and they will be an asset this season, with one or two of them likely to have real break through seasons, but we don't want to be in a position of...

The supposed bad reception that McGoldrick's signing got seems to get greater in magnitude on here with every passing year. I remember it as a couple of posters being a bit negative, but that was about it. I was pretty chuffed, he was rated in general in the game and had been played out wide too...

No chance now, then....

Honestly, mad as it sounds, he was!

Do you mean Swindon Supermarine, as in Spitfire?! Mate at Uni was from Swindon and they were his second team! Otherwise agree totally with your point, it is mostly L1/L2 players and I am sure some top Conference teams would survive in the SPL.

I make this about right, although I would maybe have Celtic a bit lower, about 14th. Wasn't Stephen Jennings something like runner up or 3rd in the SPL Player of the Year for Motherwell the season before joining us? That tells a tale. I reckon Celtic bottom half Prem, Aberdeen decent...

I didn't say that he was sold at that point, but he did bugger off to Brum, didn't he? It was written more in a "what happened to the side" way. The Bomb Squad of its era (my term) was the bunch of players listed by McAllister and training at the Memorial Park away from the 1st team squad...

Thanks for all the replies guys. I thought he was a player who really divided the fans and the responses illustrate that! I DO remember some of those later games where he would close on his man, go to beat him, then back off and pass back. It was frustrating as we knew what he was capable of...

Just watching the youtube of Speedie's goals and Smith really stood out as a creative force. He was one of my favourite players when I was a kid, yet faded and disappeared before becoming a jobbing winger at a number of clubs in the second tier. I seem to remember that he suddenly stopped...

I think a few are missing a point that he is going to pick a side of players he played with regularly-and knew their game or had an understanding with. And seeing as it is "his team" it's gonna include his mates and people he wants to play with. It does not appear that he is approaching it in a...

Just how sozzled did George look during that?! But very, very content looking. Great to see all the TV pre-match buildup too, brought back a lot of memories of watching it all as an excited young lad. Des's poetic introduction...Killer and the wedding couple. Gynn's "terrified" pre-match...

This I do strongly disagree with, though: I had a season ticket every year until Northampton, went a few games a season when we came back and this year zero for the first time since I was a kid. My ST buddy hasn't been back since Northampton whilst another goes sporadically now and I think is...

I'm as rabidly anti-SISU as it gets but I kinda agree. We'd be mortaging our future to some extent "just to get rid of SISU". I know we don't have much of a future with them, but I don't like the idea of giving away half the transfer fees or payments based on success much either: there are...
