Would argue as well as those two, Dovin was incredibly important to our winning run
Would argue as well as those two, Dovin was incredibly important to our winning runGlad to have GK sorted - when you look at how instrumental Trafford/Cooper were last season it was ridiculous that people wanted Wilson to play for 3-5 months
A truly shocking moment for this forum that 60% + voted that they'd be happy going into the season with Ben Wilson. Seems the fanbase has been cucked by years of mediocrity... and mediocrity is being kind regarding some of those years and Ben Wilson.Glad to have GK sorted - when you look at how instrumental Trafford/Cooper were last season it was ridiculous that people wanted Wilson to play for 3-5 months
Maybe Doug hates loans so much he just said fuck it and tried to buy the player insteadWe heavily invested in a 22 year old GK last year who was showing signs of being a very good GK.
It wasn’t a big investment really. If the club gets to where it wants to go then it’s extremely likely that we’d want/need someone better.We heavily invested in a 22 year old GK last year who was showing signs of being a very good GK.
Dovin earnt us loads of points after Christmas helping get a few smash and grabs, and turning draws and losses into wins.We heavily invested in a 22 year old GK last year who was showing signs of being a very good GK.
It’s too much for a back up GK. He was our best player for the 10/15 games before injury, there’s no way we’d essentially give up on him by signing a £6m GK this summer.It wasn’t a big investment really.

I don't think those 60% said they were happy , I think most thought that would be the outcome .A truly shocking moment for this forum that 60% + voted that they'd be happy going into the season with Ben Wilson.

I'm pretty sure the question was 'would you be happy...?'I don't think those 60% said they were happy , I think most thought that would be the outcome .
Surely suggests Collins is off on loan or a permanent deal

Need to start leaving a few players on the kerb outside Ryton with “Free to a good home” signs on.

Ideally, yes. Frankly, the risk of needing Collins to fill in is too great. He was given one last chance fter Dovin got injured and he blew it, he’s done here.I don't think those 60% said they were happy , I think most thought that would be the outcome .

Rowing back already are we?I don't think those 60% said they were happy , I think most thought that would be the outcome .

Confused?Rowing back already are we?
fair enoughConfused?
I voted no
He works hard, gets time to come back at his own pace and depending on the league starts as our number one next year.Very happy this move appears to be happening, but as I said at the time of his injury, this is terrible timing for Dovin and a signing like this casts a huge cloud over his future here.
Our best case scenario for the season now means he won’t play a single minute of league football for us this season - where does he go from here if that comes to pass?

we're not giving up on him, we're letting him recover properly instead of rushing him back. Having 2 good keepers is not ottIt’s too much for a back up GK. He was our best player for the 10/15 games before injury, there’s no way we’d essentially give up on him by signing a £6m GK this summer.
which is why Rushworth on loan for a year is perfect. Spending £6m on him however would be a massive waste of our resources.we're not giving up on him, we're letting him recover properly instead of rushing him back. Having 2 good keepers is not ott
did we ever find out where and why the £15m capital investment came in from
If our starting keeper for the first half of the season is droppable for a guy coming off a busted ACL then that would suggest all is not well with our season.Surely the best case is he comes back, is a monster, and Brighton recall their man in Jan because he’s not getting a game?
Nope
But its looking like someone's put some dollar in isnt it..
A lot of uncertainty involved there for a player who (in this scenario) wouldn’t have played meaningful minutes for more than a year.He works hard, gets time to come back at his own pace and depending on the league starts as our number one next year.

Uncertainty regardless following an ACL. Worse case for Dovin would have been if we bought him as that would have been him on the bench due to the cost involved. Not something we need to worry about for now, Dovin just needs to focus on recovery and then we’ll see where he is at.A lot of uncertainty involved there for a player who (in this scenario) wouldn’t have played meaningful minutes for more than a year.
Its just King putting money in to cover us for the yearNope
But its looking like someone's put some dollar in isnt it..
Does it? One freebie, One probable 6 month loan and One other signing all summer?Nope

The signing of which was covered by the Vik money..Does it? One freebie, One probable 6 month loan and One other signing all summer?
Screams of ambitious investment to take us to the next level...
