Don't know fascination/infatuation some people have with Beavon he's fairly crap! Regular goalscorer at hit level.....proven but not likely to be a favourite choice Lee Hughes anybody.....proven goalscorer at this level! :whistle:

I'm not you'll be surprised to be hear I disagree with you Dongonzales. Judging him solely as a player he is streets ahead of any of the forwards at our club currently. I would give three of our forwards right now in exchange for him even though it would sacrifice depth in squad! As a person...

An overweight 19 years old goint on 35 years old target man who despite his limited ability give you 100% effort and on his day could be a bit of a beast! :thinking about:......after consideration Paul Warhurst or Ian Marshall are closest players.....though both will probably end up with better...

Did my match ratings in a past post tbh but marks were pretty similer to most above. Brown and Wood were my two best players with 7 Hussey & Sheff were two worse......think I gave them 5.5. & 5 though......Kilbane ran them close mind! As someone has said we were horribly narrow and yet our...

I agree it was great that we won ugly, hoping we get a lot more away wins and let's hope we win mnay more ugly this year......it was just given the repective line ups I was hoping for a slightly more dominant performance. Our team on paper was pretty strong though as people rightly are saying...

Just recovered from that performance. Very little positives to take from it bar the result. Positives As I rightly thought when arguing with others Thorn picked arguably the strongest xi at his disposal We got the all important win! Defence looked pretty solid Negatives No speed in our play...

Still think giving players a rest or trying some new players is a bloody stupid statement to make when we have not even played a league game and everyone has been rotated reasonably in pre-season. I think your argument only holds any substance for the JPT - that is an annoying competition...

If we play a full strength side we will win. imo we did not play a full strength side against Bury last year at all which is why we lost, I think the squad is much better equipped. I say the longer we stay in this cup and build some confidence maybe getting some scalps along the way. If we...

Traditional Builders Stand which is where we are holds 1200.....would not imagine we'll fill all of that on a Tuesday night, though not sure if allocated all the stand? I will be there anyhow looking forward to it! :p

As someone has already pulled non-leagues argument apart I can only summarise again. Most of those teams used as an example finished play offs or better even if they did not make it up. Think most think with or squad play offs is a minimum and this is realistic. Do not think anyone on here has...

Playing a weakened side is an idiotic thing to suggest at this stage of the season.....would be very surprised if AT did this, people suggesting this obviously have not played or managed football teams. We are just builiding up a run of good results which breeds confidence prior to start of...

Think we are likely to play diamond 4-4-2 so based on that and availability this is what I would go for. Murphy GK Clarke RB Wood CB Malaga CB Hussey LB Baker RM Kilbane DCM McSheffrey LM Fleck ACM Ball CF McDonald CF Subs: Dunn, Edge, Brown, Elliott, ROD

Even if you buy into the time to gel argument which clearly some do and some don't the fact remains that most league 1 sides have a lot of outgoings and incomings at the end of each season so every team is in the same boat surely?

Could move Fleck down alongside Cody then and slot Kilbane in the gap.......looking good imo!

Just had a look at our actual team today......seems I was not that far off, substitute Brown for Malaga and as I said side contains around seven players who have been at the club for a while! :whistle: Hoping however Fleck is fit for first game of season......will have Barton or Jennings who...

How many games into the season was avb in before he got the boot last year? The best example which funnily enough no-one can argue with is how mnay games did Bryan Gunn get at Norwich in League 1 before the boot was applied? Many on here would argue far too early.....look where Norwich are...

I keep forgeting Elliott I have to admit.....would normally include Fleck but from recent comments was unsure of this injury status. If fit he will play I reckon. I still think we will only have four or five new players in the xi max. I think most/all agree one way or the other Thorn needs...

Ten games I think is what Thorn should be given, no more, no less. Once again I do not entirely agree with Dongonzales not for the first time but he does distort facts. I think the start xi likely to be. Murphy Clarke Wood Malaga Hussey Baker McSheffrey Jennings Kilbane McDonald Ball That...

Ok like for like then in terms of Age & experience......Platt out Kilbane in........whose career stats make for better viewing?

I would think he will not play that many youngsters tbh......due to number of new players in he will probably want as many of the new players as possible involved the more games they play better chance they gel for start of season. I think team will probably be. Dunn GK Clarke RB Wood CB...
