Yeah I agree it's definitely weaker than last year, and we're fortunate with that. I honestly believe that if we sign a striker with goal scoring pedigree from this level that we will win the League. I think Swindon, MK Dons and Sheffield United will be up there, but I see no reason why we can't...

I agree with stupot though, there's only one player in that squad that I would, confidently, say will get over 10 goals and that's Cody. Our main issue last season was goals, whilst we did concede a lot, we had a better defensive record than a few sides that stayed up. However our goal scoring...

doubt we'll sign a creative midfielder, is that not what Fleck is (or is meant to be)?

Think you definitely under rate the guy based on that statement, or enjoy eating footwear

That is just a wild statement. A club in League 1 gets significantly less income than clubs in the championship. We CANNOT afford to turn down a deal for Keogh that is rumoured in the one million pound region. Admittedly SISU have made poor decisions, as they have said, however I do not believe...

Because he's 35 and based on the statistics of players around that age, few play many more than 20-25 games. I would love him to play more than that, but you have to be realistic with your expectations when players get to that age. As aforementioned, I believe he will be a leader on and off the...

You massively underestimate the difference in quality between the leagues, there's no way Keogh has the technical quality to be a premier league defender. Scott Dann in my eyes was different class, and he's a low prem player. Keogh is a good player and I love his attitude, throws himself into...

Yeah I appreciate that but a captain needs to be a player who is playing 40+ games a season and realistically he won't. Has Kilbane much experience as a captain as well, I'm unsure?

I don't think Kilbane should get it purely because I don't think he'll play more than about 20-25 games. It's a bit of a ceremonial title anyway, when Kilbane is on he'll be a leader on the pitch as will the other experienced players. I think it could be a good thing for McSheffrey though, the...

He left because the club were given a good offer for him, not for the money. Not to mention the fact it was an opportunity to play Premier League football

Not yet, but I think we're playing a 2-3 year strategy here, I think given a year getting to grips with this division and we will have a squad built for promotion

So what we're losing an average championship defender who happened to stand out in our team. We were always going to lose Keogh and it's how we've responded, which has left a feeling of optimism and excitement!

Are you honestly confused, because statement's like that are standard practice in football these days. More to the point Keogh and Cranie were a CB partnership that ultimately got us relegated. I'm a fan of Keogh don't get me wrong, he wears his heart on his sleeve, throws himself into...

Yeah you're spot on it should be, thanks for sticking with me on the like though, appreciated.

Okay fair enough, perhaps my comment about McSheffrey being vocal is a little emphatic. However I base my opinions on Kilbane on the precedent set by other players in the professional game. At 35 there have been very very few players that have been able to play 40+ games. Even Ryan Giggs who is...

KK was noted as being very fit by Thorn in a press release, surprising that he would say such a thing to the fans when we sign a 35 year old on a free...However I doubt he is super human and 40 games plus of league football would be an extraordinary feat for 35 year old. As for McSheffrey...

Well when I watched against Hinckley, McSheffrey was very vocal and encouraging towards the younger players. My main point is that he represents the fans (as he is one himself) and this can be recognised on the pitch. Overall the way I see it we have 3 stand out candidates; Sheffers, Kilbane...

Why not McSheffrey, experienced, vocal, and most importantly cares about the club? He'd certainly be my choice! Kilbane shouldn't get it, bloke only played 10 games in the whole of last season, won't have the legs to play 40+ games.

whereas football forums are renown for their highly intellectual and articulated content.

Don't think this question can be answered. The new signings could be better than what we had before, e.g. Fleck could set the division alight, Edjenguele could prove to be better than both Cranie and Keogh. You catch my drift. The only variable that is certain is that the younger players in...
