Trouble we had last season was that we were held to ransom. We needed a striker, Pompey knew it, and we had to spend big money (for us / this level). Let's hope it doesn't happen again. That's why you need to try to get your replacement in first, I guess.

He's a talented player, you can see that in his movement, but he isn't / wasn't the out-and-out goalscorer we probably hoped for. Perhaps our expectations were wrong.

The thing with Willis is that he's consistently good. Very unusual for him to have a stinker. That's a rarity at this level.

At a time when people could easily become divided, this campaign has been the glue that has held people together. A wonderful idea, fantastic execution, and an amazing end result.

He seems to have been around the fringes for ages as the hype train has been chugging away, and it's easy to forget that he's barely out of his teens. He has time on his side even if this loan doesn't work out.

Wasn't McFadzean captain in last week's game, or did I make that up?

I posted on there when Peter Reid got the Thailand job, and didn't realise there was another post about 5 minutes earlier. All I got was a half-dozen replies all saying 'BREAKING NEWS'. The sarcasm was in overdrive in that place.

When he plays, he gets shots off. That was something the team as a whole struggled with last season. At least Shipley has a dig, and is usually on / close to target. That's where he adds a value that some of last seasons starters didn't imho.

Saw Jordan Willis at Arena Tescos (the electronics aisle iirc). Queued behind Oggy at the fag kiosk at Binley Morrissons a few times a handful of years ago. Was in a car with a football league linesman and my uncle on a way to a game, and we stopped and asked Nuddy for directions. Non City, I...

I always prefer a defensive midfielder wearing 4 rather than a centre-back. Proper old-school innit.

I don't like this post.

There are too many new players that I've never seen play to form any opinion, but Robins seems to think we've got a better squad than last year. With that being the case, he's got to be aiming higher than 8th, ergo that's the measuring stick I'll work to.

That's another bag of shit we've hoyed at them.

Well we know the council's...erm...sorry, ACL's PR team do.

He seemed really nervous being in front of a camera. He needs some of Hickman's confidence.

I was thinking of David Bell when I wrote that, tbf.

Pros and cons, innit. Cons = they might be shit, we might get promoted and need better players and are lumbered with them, and managers don't tend to stay around that long so it hampers a new guy in building his own team. Pros = more stability for us, players are more likely to sign because they...

Last season was 42 games, 7 goals, 1 assist.

From the Burton website: Jamie joined Rochdale at the age of eight, rising through each of the junior ranks at Spotland before becoming a first-team regular. Jamie’s talents were quickly recognised by Rochdale management and he was nominated for League Two’s Apprentice of the Year award in...

42 appearances, 7 goals, 1 assist last season. Decent.
