My initial thought was:- No No. He’s a maniac, unreliable, he’ll unsettle the dressing room etc. But, there’s a devil on my shoulder whispering:- No fee. He doesn’t turn up then he won’t get paid if the contract’s set up right. He’s the only player I can think of that might, just might...

Franz Carr from Forest back in the day was close to signing.

It’s all a big misunderstanding about him having COVID Someone asked him where’s he at next season. “COV I’D hope”

I used to regularly watch the reserves (my Saturday shift on my paper round meant I’d miss many Saturday games 🙄 so reserve team action was the next best thing.) Dougie McGuire was a bit special , and should have been in the first team. Unfortunately, David Smith had his one and a half amazing...

Own goal.

I think extending Kelly’s and McFadzean sends out the right message to, say, 29 year olds (and I’m looking at you M James) who might be looking to sign with us. A 29 year old player has lots to offer but might want to stay in one place for more than one season (may have kids for example) and...

It’s a strange commercial move for a building society, unless they have plans to do a Bradford & Bingley / Alliance & Leicester / Abbey National and become a Bank. The Abbey National was branded as “The Abbey” for a while and it wouldn’t surprise me if CBS go on a new business drive before...

Wherever he goes there’s one thing guaranteed: He’ll hit the bar. Not guaranteed he’ll score but he’ll give it his best. Close this thread.

Jordan Shipley has a gift of a left foot. There are many players out there that depend on effort and determination to succeed and don’t have a natural talent. That there is the issue. We all know that the lad could be absolutely brilliant and on his day shows flashes of real quality. He’s also...

It’s a tough world. Footballers at the top level either make it or don’t. Following the thought process: I can’t think of a team in the Premiership he would be able to hold down any kind of place. Therefore he’s not a Premiership standard player. Is there any team in the Championship that...

Might as well have a bit of a gamble on this and play some fringe players. When was the last time we were able to play knowing that we were safe / not striving for a promotion spot? Bapaga, Tavares etc might as well get a start.

I heard he’s a twisty kind of player that sometimes gets in a tangle. Think he might tell us to get knotted if the deal isn’t great - let’s hope we don’t get strung along.

I agree with the OP. He links down the left well and chases and hurries the opposition well. Could do far worse.

I can see why you say that and I’d agree on the face of it. He’s 23 now, 22 when he got here and had played 40 odd games in the EFL. Have in mind there were quite a few sub appearances and quite a few where he was subbed off. Up until the age of 21 he’d played very little competitive...

Sheaf: Can sometimes make a great pass, other times give the ball away shockingly. Can sometimes put in a great tackle or block, other times bottle it, not track back, give away a foul in a dangerous position. Often caught in possession and we end up losing the ball and momentum. On the...

Allen - time to move on. Not right for our formation, maybe a level too high for him Shippers - seems to have gone off the rails but has a talent. Maybe a 6 month loan out could do him good.

Marosi 5 - could have saved at least one of the goals. Distribution not brilliant. Eccles 6 - lad did ok tbf Pask 5 - fell on his arse for first goal. Good athlete but doesn’t look like he reads the game well. McFadzean 6 - did ok. Ostigard 6 - reasonable Mccallum 7 - thought he made...

Sam Mc was a filler / punt from non-league. You never know how a player is going to turn out until you get them in the camp.

Please don’t f us up Sheaf. Please.

Wilson -3. He was guilty of flapping like a shot pigeon and faffing around with the ball. Messing around and passing it short to one of our own players who is under pressure is just not very intelligent. Also, taking ages over goal kicks when we are 2-0 down. Get the ball played, you never...
