    One of the best scouts I know, certainly the best scout you know.

    Negativity and wummimg are a tragedy, always.

    Summer transfer window 2024

    Just caught up on the last dozen or so pages: Don’t get the bed wetting re lack of signings/noise; there’s plenty of time left in the window and we’ve proven many times we don’t leak signings (e.g. Bassette). Don’t get the excitement for Worrell. We have 4 CB’s and play two. The word...

    Haji Wright

    He was good last night and both his goals were excellent for different reasons. I don’t think he scores that this time last year. Such composure and confidence; neither of which he had 12 months ago. I actually thought his touch at times last night was frustrating. Either his first touch or an...

    Why didn't the ref or lino do anything about this?

    I remember seeing this in the moment and being absolutely baffled why the linesman didn’t give it! It’s been mentioned but I’d also be keen to see what happened with Lati second half too, it was definitely off the ball and our players weren’t happy. Most frustrating thing is nothing will be...

    On the defensive frailties stuff; who are we actually talking about here? The first goal was a soft free kick, which Simms then failed to clear. The second came from a poor Torp pass in their third, and their player was allowed to run the length of the pitch and they subsequently got a lucky...

    Luis Binks tonight

    Binks is a classy player, very good on the ball and defensively solid. Albeit he got a telling off last night from MR for two ‘Hollywood’ passes which didn’t work out! I also love his passion for the club; re-watch the celebrations for the third goal and you’ll see how much it means. He’s been...

    Subs have honestly added absolutely nothing. Palmer had been especially poor and has BTA touched the ball?! Hope this post comes back to bite me!

    Let’s not lose the plot and start finding boo boys. We’ve started well, it was a shit goal to concede, and as always we’re having to contend with a poor ref/linesman. We’re dominating and we’ll win. But hey, why miss a chance to pick out this seasons boo boys.

    Just to clarify; people want us to sign their number 8? Cause so far (albeit very limited) I’m not seeing it.

    Making the most of the stars aligning with the first game of the season and having a kid free evening. First ones in at Byatts; not sure if that’s impressive or a worry.

    Two training tops and, I never thought I’d say this, a training vest too! Tested the vest out this afternoon and it’s decent to run in. There’s some training shorts I’ve been tempted by as well, as they look like a better bet for running than the kit shorts, but not gone for it yet! Got a hat...

    Just been to the club shop to buy a few bits for running in etc - spent way too much (dangerous being on AL the day of a game and no kids at home to entertain!); it’s absolutely buzzing around the ground, I saw queues coming out of the ticket office and the shop was pretty busy too. Such a...

    Wouldn’t be disappointed to see JDS start. It is the sort of game we want to dominate, play on the front foot and maintain possession - he’s better at that than Bidwell. Eccles holding with Rudoni and Torp ahead of him, Wright/Sakamoto on the wings and Simms up front. It’s a really strong team...

    Good point. Albeit the ‘tick me off’ bit made me think otherwise!

    Pretty disappointed in the limited options to be honest, but on the plus side 3/4 we went to were good! Route; Gonzo (always good choice but too much strong stuff for a chilled afternoon) - Sky Blue Tavern for novelty purposes (horrendous selection) - The Yard (it’s the old Drapers, great seats...

    Coupling this with the constant negativity in Saturdays match thread; I assume you’re on the wind up.
