Of the top of my head, this is the best XI I’ve seen as a fan: (4-4-2) Westwood Keogh Davenport Dann Warnock Henderson Gunnarsson Fleck McSheffrey Wilson King Bench: Murphy Fox Shaw Doyle Jodi Jones (this season) McNulty Leon Clarke/McGoldrick

If you’ve got the players for it, then it’s a good system. We have the players that are better for other systems. I’m keen to see how his window unfolds. Considering we were in for Woodyard, we’re most likely in for a centre midfielder, which suggests one of two things: Bayliss is going to stay...

I just realised you weren’t advocating Shipley at left wingback. 5-3-2 was a viable option before we clicked with our narrow and fluid 4-4-2. I said on some threads that it might be the only way to fit Kelly, Bayliss and Doyle in the same team. However, this window I expect us to sign 1-2 wide...

Shipley doesn’t have the attributes to play wingback. If we were to play 3-4-3 or 5-3-2 we’d need a left footed version of Grimmer. The way Shipley plays on the left in our system is narrow, and our fullbacks overlap our ‘wingers’. As a wingback, Shipley couldn’t rely on an overlapping player...

Player of the season: McNulty, 28 goals speaks for itself. He put in an absolutely outstanding 2018 and he won us so many games and points. Performance of the season: In the league, either Luton or Cheltenham away you’d say, to win 6-1 was massive for us going into the playoffs. But, our...

Nope, JP and McNulty scored v Walsall and McNulty scored v Shrewsbury too in the Checkatrade.

I’m not a gambling man, but if he’s not a starter, I doubt he’ll hit 10 goals. So if I was a gambler, I wouldn’t take the bet. Also, when strikers like Marquis who got 26 goals in L2 in 16/17 season, scores 12 goals (EDIT), or Williams who got 12, managing 1 goal in 13... the odds don’t look...

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’...
