Got Eccles too.

Frankly, we've got more pressing issues than CM so if it is an issue I can only see MR using a loan to cover. Unless he can offload Shipley and Allen to bring one more in.

We’ve been linked to Walsh and James and our good friend @better days has confirmed we looked at these two players. Therefore, we’re definitely looking to strengthen that area but, we haven’t signed anyone in that position, yet. It’s area of the pitch we absolutely need more experience in.

Waghorn and Moore are two signings that suggest Robins is keen on adding experience to a young team.

With that in mind, I’d be surprised if we haven’t signed a CM before the transfer window shuts.

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Sounds like Viktor and Waghorn are causing them problems

 

[JimmyHillsbeard]

The “FORWARD!” guy is enjoying his catchphrase

Jesus. Things I *haven’t* missed in the last 18 months.

 

[Tea & Busquets]

No that's why were getting Maatsen, hes good enough for back up.

But what are the chances Maatsen is another McCallum? He wasn’t a standout player by any means at Charlton in L1, good but not someone you’d rave about.

 

[Liquid Gold]

Does he know that he can use the side or front of his foot?

They’ve both been slightly behind him. The sort of balls that would have been “impossible to get to” with a certain unnamed french striker up front.

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Howley on for Hamer

 

[Tea & Busquets]

I'm currently watching Salford v Derby. Salford were 2-0 up but Derby just pulled one back thanks to an own goal from Jordan Turnbull

at least we know that we aren’t needing jagielka whoever suggested that yesterday

 

[Mucca Mad Boys]

I don’t know our budget and who we can get for what price. One of the wingbacks would be Maatsen on loan and the other a free transfer if possible.

We have 3, maybe 4 (max), signings left and you’d spend 2 of those on LWBs? Don’t quit your day job.

 

[Liquid Gold]

Gyokeres header just over

Maybe that the problem. They've been used to crossing to Max and they know he only scores worldy overhead kicks and misses tap-ins so have got used to aiming crosses accordingly.

Is that that exactly what Robins is supposed to be after?

 

[steve101]

At least we are creating chances now

Surely you understand that there is an element of risk/scouting that goes into picking footballers? You cant sign 10 LBs and hope one is "another McCallum"

Standard.

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

I have a feeling Viktor is going to be the main man for us up front this season, even if he is a bit of a loose cannon. Mr Unpredictable !

 

[Liquid Gold]

Waghorn and Gyokeres both have great strikers movement. Always looking for space and shaping for the ball behind the defence.

Reid getting forward really well and has a good cross on him.

Is this counting Maatsen ?

Good to see Howley get another run out. Could he be the surprise break through this season?

 

[Liquid Gold]

2-0 Cheltenham. Shot straight at Moore and he spilled it straight to their striker.

Christian Walton please.

He’s just 17 isn’t he? Very highly rated though

Not so good to hear

Christian Walton please.

How does he compare to Wilson?

 

[Tommo1993]

Lol.

Very composed

Christian Walton please.

We got shot of Marosi for this fucking clown!

 

[Liquid Gold]

How does he compare to Wilson?

Similar. Good presence and coming for the ball. Good long kick. Lots of mistakes in him.

 

[Tea & Busquets]

Never said that, i just think we should have some proven championship players in the mix as well. The scouting that’s done is based on talent and ability, not league adaptability per say, we’ve seen good players jump leagues after a stellar season and look like a completely different player, i’m just a bit worried, sorry if i’m making this out to be bigger than it is.

 

[Sick Boy]

We got shot of Marosi for this fucking clown!

Marosi was better than Wilson as well, yet we ended up giving him a new contract.

Can't blame the heat this time.

Could be something we regret.

Howley our Bellingham ?
