This thread is making a late run for the top 10 bed wetting threads of the forum. We all want signings but a) I’m sure they’re coming and b) we made the play offs with the current lot, despite a horrendous start. We’d all be disappointed if nobody else comes in, but I expect we’ll see two in...

Perry, Torp, KKH, MVE, Sakamoto all came out on top for me (albeit some in shorter cameos). Grimes, JDS, Simms solid enough. Everyone else was ok. Nobody had a stinker. Rushworth made two great stops and certainly wants to play forward and quickly. Shame we keep every player back form corners...

I’m a Simms fan and believe there’s a players there, but even so he massively frustrates me. However, he definitely looks better against higher level opposition. He’s been better today and is 1000% better suited to this system than BTA.

Heard the tannoy announcements for how to use the turnstiles every 5 mins and it’s a small crowd. Hull is going to be carnage.

Crowd and atmosphere are like L2 days! Not a complaint btw as it’s a friendly etc. Quite like having the space actually.

Playing in a 3 is very different to playing in a 2. Pace does not make a defender good or bad, but is helpful, however can be mitigated by other factors eg positioning, awareness, pace in other defensive positions. Doyle isn’t quick, but he’s got good experience at our level and it only 21...

Genuinely looking forward to seeing Rushworth - not sure I’ve ever felt that about a keeper before!

Taking my two daughters to the game. My oldest is 5 and she’s been twice before (as she’s repeatedly told her sister!) and the youngest is 4 and it’ll be her first game. I don’t expect to last the full 90, and I’ll be packing various contingencies in the backpack, including iPads as a very last...

Would be a great signing. And instantly our best CB despite his relatively young age. However I would worry about his pace, or more so acceleration. Can be mitigated by players around him. And I’d hope FL will have picked up a few tips from playing with one of the best, yet slowest, CB’s of...

Taking my two daughters to the Betis game. My oldest is 5 and she’s been twice before (as she’s repeatedly told her sister!) and the youngest is 4 and it’ll be her first game. I don’t expect to last the full 90, and I’ll be packing various contingencies in the backpack, including iPads as a...

Just me who thinks this is a pretty bang average -> shit announcement video. What’s it even mean. Love that hes taken the 14 shirt as well. Shows where his confidence is right now. If we ever see him at the CBS I’m pretty sure he’ll be appreciative of what we as a club and fanbase did for him.

Not 100% what the letters say or stand for, but I’m a big, big fan of this jacket. It’ll be a ridiculous price but I’m all in on that. Love stuff that’s Cov, but subtle enough to wear at other times.

Eric Hitchmough?

Lots of posts on the Transfers thread -> could it be something exciting? Nah, just more KKH v MVE / Will he play LB debate.

I think Lampard likes JDS as, for all his defensive faults, he’s a good footballer. And I think Lampard wants as many technical players on the pitch as possible. So I don’t think he’ll see it as big a priority as we all do.

Watching YT compilations of potential new CB’s is nowhere near as exciting as those for new attacking players. 8 minutes of him blocking and heading the ball away. I lasted 90 seconds.

The good thing about Rushworths distribution is the variety it’ll give us. We’ve all wanted us to play quicker, having a keeper who can do that gives us the counter attack option. Might also allow Grimes to stop playing as a third CB and start influencing play further forwards.

Rudoni won’t be going anywhere. However, if we don’t go up this year I’d expect him to be gone next summer. Another brilliant player unfairly written off on here after a few games.

Heaps the pressure on Frank and the team. At those prices he’s expecting a good season so the demand is there, regardless of price. Kids tickets are mental. Not taking my kids to the odd game, where’s its 50/50 they’ll actually sit for 90 mins, for £50/60.

Midfield 5 of Grimes, Sheaf, Pereira, Rudoni and Torp is incredibly strong. Different options to adapt to the opposition or style of play we want to impose each game, and strength in depth meaning we don’t see a marked drop in performance or style as soon as a starter gets injured. I don’t...
