Until yesterday I hadn't really heard of Robin Olsen who plays for the Vanilla but he had one heck of a game, probably out of our reach money wise I would guess though.

Couldn’t agree more, if we’re to break out of the championship we need better players and depth, simple as that. I think we’ve proved that the “cobble together a semi-fit squad and hope we make play-offs” model isn’t currently working. Relying on the likes of Palmer, Allen, Eccles, Godden, Da Silva, Collins, even Kitching etc every week isn’t going to cut it.

Exactly, punts on lower league players are fine as long as they are backups/understudies to proven top quality championship level players.

There's a reason clubs aren't queuing up for the list of players above but Hamer/O'Hare/Sheaf all have suitors.

Do you know if he’s exactly 20 or is that just ballpark? Would hedge my bets on 21 yo Oliver Dovin playing at Hammarby (same club as Adjei we were scouting) and Sweden international. Turns 22 in July. Would be a very good pickup as he’s already one of the best young keepers in Europe outside of the top 5 leagues and would definitely be a step up from whatever the fuck we have going on right now. He was also born in England which gives him English second nationality which I’m sure is useful for something. Real sweeper keeper. Definitely Swedens next permanent #1 if he makes the right move (to us). Contract up in 2026.

Could also be Tornqvist but I’m more subscribed to the idea of Dovin as we might’ve been scouting Adjei and seen him a La saka

Forgot to mention but he also has the same agent as Hamer and loads of other big names/championship/former cov players. Though I would take that connection with a grain of salt as it’s a pretty large agency.

You're surely either bullshitting or your source is winding you up? Playing them there would be a recipe for disaster, attracting a load of numbskulls from each side, which would then keep this stupid rivalry even more alive than present. Can't see either club being interested in such a game. Besides which when was the last time we played a pre season friendly against another team from the same league as ourselves?

It is difficult to get opposition that early so it's possible we are both in the same region and arranged a game

If so it might be best if it is behind closed doors

Wouldn’t say it’s particularly his job to play keep-ball. That being said, he does often try to force the issue at times and if we’re honest, it doesn’t work out as often as it should - the pass for Wrights goal the other week was what I’d want to see him doing more often.

Palmer will always divide. For me, I love him, he drives forward, is always on the front foot and tries to make things happen. He might give the ball away but no-one else plays like him. O'Hare likes to play little triangles around opposition box, but if we're not bossing possession he's not as effective. People slated Palmer for his performances against Hull & Ipswich, but he ends up with a goal & assist in those 2 games.

I quite like Palmer, he's just not good enough to be a regular starter for us next season. Maybe in a game with 20 minutes left when we need some new ideas, but he's nowhere near consistent enough and is absolutely useless in front of goal. The bloke will send 50 easy chances off target and follow it by making it look easy scoring an absolute screamer

MR stating he wants to get business done early, will be easier this time around without a playoff run so can plan ahead for the league we're in, hopefully get some announced soon. @Saddlebrains anything on this swedish keeper or any likely business that gets don?

Pretty much a standard line from any manager. The summers with tournaments are always difficult at our level to recruit particularly any fringe Premier League players as they are making up the squads while players involved in the Euros have late summer holidays.

I wouldn't expect players in any quicker than last year.

At least this time we can already field a whole team rather than having Howley & Bidwell at CB.

Agree. Palmer may give the ball away but he’s always trying to find killer passes through the defence. We’ve moaned all season about our players not finding Simms and Wright runs behind but KP at least tries.

I do still hate it when he backheels straight to an opposition player though.

We need better, but I much prefer with Wright and Simms a player who tries those balls in behind. Same as people complaining about Sheafs passing accuracy, those two play far more forward balls than the other central mids so they’re going to get cut out more, but without them you’re just passing in triangles around the edge of the area forever.

People complain because his forward passes come to nothing though. He also continuously passes in triangles on the edge of the box like the others. The forward ones are often the wrong choice at that time, or don't come off at all. Zero assists in a free scoring team, with a role that gives him much room to do more just qualifies that further. Palmer pulls off more, but still not enough there consistently either. He often screws up good opportunities.

The whole midfield needs an attacking improvement. Hopefully Torp can provide something there, he seems to have some vision and execution, but it's been a hole to fill since Hamer's departure.

Does anyone know how many of our squad spaces are being used by those who wouldn’t qualify under the work permit ‘points’ requirement? I’d imagine Torp and Sakamoto are on there, think MvE and Wright are/were fine on the points anyway.
