I agree Shipley is a handy squad player and worth keeping for that. I am puzzled how we get a strong defensive midfielder plus a replacement for Bayliss plus Kelly into a two man central midfield?

I am probably misreading it but in terms of the match day squad:- 1. Burge, Sterling and Thomas have been replaced. The new goalkeeper is an upgrade, but the others, because they replace good loanee players may not be as good. 2. Willis has been replaced by someone who sounds as though he is...

I actually think that notwithstanding the Ricoh issue SISU have finally worked out how to run a medium sized football team on a day to day basis. It has taken them long enough. The costs are in proportion to their investment and they have finally found a manager they trust. I doubt if the day...

Good idea - so that is one for and one against

"he just walks around the sidelines when things don't go his way, looking uninterested" sounds like Hiwula

Isn't this guy a possible Bright replacement?

Max - I saw him twice, including the League Cup at Oxford. And please note I am a huge admirer of Max. But he was clearly too slow, and too lacking in sophistication. The bruisers at the heart of Oxford's defence ate him up. He did not score that many in L2

Squad as of today ...a front line to put fear into the hearts of all League One defences. Or maybe not On the other hand we have cornered the market in central defenders. Looks like a bet on the most goalless games might be an earner

Weird comment. Yes he is on the staff, but no he is not up to L1 and in a few months time everybody will be saying that they knew this to be the case all along. Too slow. Like Grimmer he was an important part of the promotion team but thereafter... We need strikers more than we need the wingers...

We may have signed a number of players but the only front two we have is Baka and Chaplin. Biamou, Jones don't count. Max isn't up to L1

If Robins was poached, he would be a good choice imho, given SISU's abysmal record in choosing managers (1 1/2 good ones - Robins plus a bit of Mowbray)

Wouldn't the cost of building a stadium be about the same of the value of the club? So in business terms, why do it?

The Brum deal levels the negotiating playing field. Otherwise Wasps had the whip hand, now SISU have leverage

I think Chaplin has always fancied himself as a Paul Scholes type player in the pocket. he seemed to play that way, rather than a striker like McNulty. Paul Scholes being part of Salford iirc

we need a good CDM

Difficult not to be underwhelmed. looking at the Bradford replays Wilson looks to be charging around slightly witlessly. The Donny guy sounds like their version of Burge. So the quality level is exactly the same. It may be that the difference between L1 and Championship keepers is the ability...

Not sure about these two goalies. The sum of the parts may be better than Burge & O'Brien, but the Donny guy does not seem much of an upgrade.

A lot better than the bugger all next year's pairing are going to have, when its Drysdale or Rose with McF because Hyam is out for some reason

Has it been announced that Bright is returning? Rather have him than Bayliss
