My take on Alex Hartridge is that he’s got the potential to play in the Championship should he iron out some key issues. For me, his biggest problem is he can switch off and lose concentration which sometimes leads to conceding. I also think he needs to work on his distribution.
That said, he’s...
Some performance from Oxford, that. Totally deserved and I think Bolton wouldn’t score if the game lasted 2 days. They looked well off it, but I think a lot of that is due to how well Oxford played.
Some big teams in L1 next season and you’d imagine Bolton will be aiming for a top 2 spot. As...
We were allegedly close to signing him in January, but the terms of the deal weee changed when he started scoring regularly!
Looks like a very good player to me.
He arrived was no match fitness, promptly got injured and when he came back a month or so later, he looked totally not arsed and like he’d never played the game before.
He had one decent ish game at home to Middlesbrough in the cup, but was shocking otherwise, so I can only guess his head just...
Caldwell seems hopeful we can convince a few to sign on again. Agree that Jules and Mitchell would be fantastic to have around for a couple more seasons, at least. And if we can get a couple of the loans back (not Muskwe!!!) we’ll be looking very stable indeed.
Of course, there will still be...
Ah, my mistake. Not sure where I got 32 from!
In that case, I can definitely see why you were reluctant to offer longer than a year. That said, I’m sure someone will definitely give him what he wants.
What’s the thinking behind Madden only being offered a year long deal? I get he’s 32 but you’d imagine he’d have plenty to offer in L1 for a couple of seasons?
I wonder if Foster failing so badly will mean Argyle head down the experienced route, rather than looking at another u23 coach.
Whittaker should fetch a few quid, but he’ll be hard to replace at the same time.
Great news, that. Once Jules signs on again (assuming he will), we have more than enough defenders to choose from to play in our back three next season. That said, it wouldn’t shock me if we sold someone like Aimson as there were rumours clubs were in for him in January. Think Wrexham were...
I think we’ve got one of the biggest squads in the league, so there will be plenty of turnover this summer – However, we do have a core of a good squad to work with:
Under contract:
Pierce Sweeney (RCB) – Love him, becoming a City legend
Will Aimson (CB) – Rapidly turning his season around...
Classy player is Reece Cole. As SF_ says, this seems like it’s a bit agent driven. Any midfielder who’s got an eye for goal and creates plenty is going to attract interest although I suspect he’ll still be with us next season.
Been a good player but I do feel he’s given a bit more praise due to him being an academy product. Don’t get me wrong, he’s had some excellent performances but we’ve got better in his position.
What a comeback! Millenic Alli looks like a very good signing. 3 in 2 for him.
And that’s, I think 39 points from our last 22 games. Unreal from the players and Caldwell deserves huge credit indeed. Just shows how keeping faith with a manager can pay off.
Surprised Vale have struggled this...
He’s been a great servant and it was a classy move to give him the armband yesterday for what’s probably his last game for the club. Good player, and if he ironed out some occasional mistakes, he could be a very good defender at this level. As you say, I can see Taylor being in for him...
