I’d love to sign him, but with 17 goals from midfield, he’s surely destined for the championship!

He’s primarily a striker who can play on either wing. JCH will be fine in L1, he scored 9 goals in his last full season with Oldham and I think he’ll beat that with a whole season under his belt (assuming we play 4-4-2). We’ve got McNulty as our main goal getter and with a supporting cast of...

You mean like the striker we signed today?

You’re being unfair. Has Biamou improved this season? The answer is indisputably ‘yes’. Is it feasible that he’ll continue to improve? Again, the answer is ‘yes’. From Easter, he’s certainly turned a massive corner in terms of his output goals wise and sometimes you need a good run to kick on...

Having watch about 5-6 of his goals on YouTube, he’s good at dribbling and is pacy. There was one goal, where he glided past about 2-3 players and scored in the bottom corner. Most of the goals I seen were set up by their player Ferguson with a pass through the defence and he used his pace to...

Probably nothing, he’d have been a semi-pro at Dulwich. We ‘thanked’ Dulwich for their ‘cooperation’ in the statement. Signing non-league players is easy pickings, the obvious caveat is that they have to make the step up...

Which is why they’d swap around. Jones operates well on either wing, in 1-2 of our goals of the season he got an assist on the left. Same with Exeter (H) he forced an OG and got an assist from the left. A fully fit Jodi Jones gets into that team comfortably. If it meant dropping Kelly to...

Exeter signed Stockley for £100k last season (a club record, Tisdale’s second signing with a fee too since 2006) and I doubt we’d have the resources to put forward an acceptable bid.

Hopefully he has another ‘relegation clause’ in his contract so he can go to Sunderland...

You do know Jones can play on the left? The wingers will most likely be interchanging system if Bayliss and Jones play.

His contract at RUFC runs out in June, and his loan has expired so he’s technically gone back there. If the rumours are to be believed, we paid around £125k as a loan fee for him in January. Therefore, it is inconceivable to me that we won’t sign a player we have already paid for. He hasn’t...

Jones made that tweet directed at youngsters who didn’t make the grade at Prem teams to not be afraid to drop down the divisions, even to non-league. So this lad appears to be similar, and I also think Jones will be in Bayliss’ ear because the Prem or Championship isn’t necessarily the ‘promised...

If he’s at Dulwich Hamlet, he’s going to be a semi-pro, so will be for peanuts like Biamou. Gotta love those non-league steals. Imagine if he’s the ‘Mo Eisa of L1’...

The difference is pedigree. It appears that he was very well thought of in Palace’s youth setup and even represented England at youth level. But, was really unlucky with injuries and illness so had to drop into non-league. Whereas Biamou has spent his whole career at Division 4/5 be it in France...

The context is different though, Stevenson wasn’t getting first team football. Bayliss is getting first team football and is guaranteed to start in L1, so career-wise, unless Derby are going to offer first team football in the Championship, then it’s logical for him to stay one way or the other...

I’m optimistic we’ll keep him, and we’ve given ourselves the best opportunity of keeping him (and other key players) at the club. There’s a buzz around the club and with a good young side, which is presumably fearless given the bottle they had in the playoffs... We could possibly do well in L1...

Surprised no one has mentioned Peterborough! I remember when we took 3k there and Stead scored in a 1-0 win. Really good day that was. It all depends on my availability, but I want to do a few of; Sunderland, Barnsley, P’boro, Walsall, Bradford, Blackpool, Luton Bolton and probably Charlton...

Wouldn’t change anything about journey. The trip to Wembley was well worth it since we came away with a win!

Agreed, 100%. To add on to this, players like Jones, Bayliss, McNulty can definitely make the grade at L1 and likely get into most, of not all, teams in L1. Others like; Kelly, JCH, Doyle, Grimmer, Stokes, Willis and maybe even Burge have all made the grade to an extent at L1. Shipley I’m...

I find the rhetoric at the club very interesting right now. Players, managers and owners (via Fisher) have all spoke about ‘going for it’ in relation to back-to-back promotions. Indeed, rhetoric is one thing, but it’s all uniform. It goes away from the typical goal of ‘just staying up, then...
