Similar story - 1080. I really regret not getting a ST in 22/23 as its royally messed my points up!

Every player we bring in needs to be a starter or someone the club believes will develop into one. Unless we have league leading player in a given position, we’ll need to upgrade this position at some point. Our stated aims is to build a team capable of promotion and to then stay up. We’re...

I’m just sharing on what I was told, none of this is my own opinion. If he’s got had a 4 year contracted terminated just one year in with a short paragraph when he did leave after 7+ years at the club… Points towards him effectively being sacked. Then ask yourself why that might be?

It really depends on how MR views Lati as a CB of RB. We’ve been linked with Worrall as well as Camara. If it’s impossible to get Worrall/similar player, we’ll stick with Lati-Thomas-Binks-Kitching as CBs for the season and sign a RB as you say. I do think that Lati playing RB changes the...

If we want another CB, you’ve got to think it’ll mean Lati will be deputising MVE at RB. Unless MR has changed his mind and fancied Lati as a CB, then I’d agree a RB is required. Considering we’ve supposedly looked at Camara, McCallum and Burrows, it’s not out of the question we’d sign both a LB...

Losing to Darmstadt 2-0 in a preseason friendly surely ranks as one of our darkest hours as a club?

It makes sense, Wright was taken off after one bang against Getafe. You’d imagine if it was the league campaign he’d miss maybe one game.

All signs pointing towards a ST signing at some point before this window closes - as per the update from the Bulgarian journalist regarding Ntelo. We’re actively looking to bring players in, that’s obvious. Expecting untested youngsters to fill the squad depth is just not acceptable and unfair...

Apparently it was a Darmstadt player that was receiving treatment - praise the lord.

We’ll see, I’ll pay a lot more attention to the starting teams we field against Everton and Werder Bremen. The starting 11 against MK Dons and Exeter last season was more or less the starters against Leicester. Last season, Thomas was favoured over Lati at CB so I’m struggling to think what...

It’s the 3rd preseason game and atm, the strongest XI hasn’t been available.

In league games, Thomas has almost always started ahead of Lati and preseason isn’t really proof anything would’ve changed.

In fairness, a few of the injured players are probably kept out of the squad as a precaution as opposed to being injured. Generally, we’ve got a strong cohort of about 20 senior players. So we’re in a better place than most years. Realistically, we need to bump that up to 23-25 to deal with the...

The people who reckon Obikwu, Dausch and Tavares could replace Simms and Wright effectively ought to be careful what they wish for! 😂

Indeed it was and that’s about my speed now - at uni it was a bit quicker. It’s never a good idea HH, the hangovers I get now compared to uni are really bad!

We’ve got to be aware of our own talents. Some rugby boys put in Germany tried to challenge me to a pint off (a rugby boy custom) and to humble-brag, I surprised the gentlemen (and myself) in question. I’ve still got it! 😂

Listen to MRs post-Stevenage interview. He heavily implies that Obikwu has improved ‘a level’ and we’ll likely loan him out. My own opinion is that him being a starter at L1/L2 level is better for him than being 4th choice with us. He’s got that raw attributes to be a good player, it’s about...

To be fair, if pint downing was a sport, I’d be in with a chance of an Olympic medal…

I like Andrews, think he looks like someone that can develop into a good player. Like Eccles did, a loan to L1 best serves his development at this stage imo. The same applies to Obikwu and perhaps Dausch (may need another year in the development team) too in my book.

Agreed. Equally, COH has been overrated sections of the support. His impact past February wasn’t where you’d expect a ‘premiership quality’ player to be at. Yet, I’m in two minds on whether that because he didn’t have a full preseason or not. There’s a reason Prem teams passed on him; question...
