A bit nervy as it will be Murray's first "proper" game in charge where he has his own team and a whole summer to orchestrate everything, so who knows how we'll perform when it comes to it. I think we have it in us to beat Carlisle although we as a club have a habit of freezing on the big...
I think we will surprise a lot of teams with the type of football we play this season, whether it will translate to points is another matter though.
My picks would be Barnet and Exeter. Barnet have made some good signings and seem to have kept the key players which took them up which is where...
Matt Green staying fit is a big one, I don't think it would be the end of the world if he didn't but I think the atmosphere amongst fans will affect the players. Last season Hearn got crocked and we didn't ever look like scoring all season, I think we have much better options this season in...
Like that kit a lot, is it your official home kit or just for fans to buy sort of thing? Don't know why more teams haven't gone down the retro route, especially given that in the past few years they've been the "in thing" and the older fans will love it as well. 90% of the kits brought out by...
We wouldn't play Devera as right back anyway unless there was a sending off or injury as we already have Hunt and Marsden who can play there. After looking at his wiki it seems he was best at Swindon so there's a player there somewhere should we want to sign him. We already have Collins, Pearce...
We've got two games today, first up we're away at Solihull Moors at 1:30 then we're playing Barnsley at 3 for Bobby Hassell's testimonial. Not sure where we'll send a stronger squad, people have said the Barnsley one is a pre season game for 60 mins then a testimonial. Then in the press it...
We're away at Tamworth today, loved going as a competitive fixture but friendlies don't have the same feel. Be our first game against half decent opposition apart from a rumoured behind closed doors spanking against Bury though no one has any idea what went off there.
Mark Roberts (Cambridge)
Keemar Roofe (Oxford)
Gary Roberts (Portsmouth)
John Stead (Notts County)
Dan Potts (Luton)
On a side note what's the difference between us resigning Green and Cambridge resigning Berry? Apart from age and Cambridge offering a longer contract, both were very good...
Do these foreign players who are joining County all speak English as well? I can imagine there will be a natural clique in the dressing room anyway but could be a bigger problem if they don't speak English. I thought we were going continental last season but you are taking it to another level...
Yeah especially given that we have only one trialist (may change tonight) which is Krystian Pearce, and Muzz has said he's going to take his time on the last "one or two" signings. So looks like we're having a good look at Pearce with a view of signing him, leaving Doe out of the picture for now.
I think if there's any team where Fisher would fit most it would be with you to be fair. Like others have said he's far too lightweight to lead the line for most league 2 clubs and I thought it was embarrassing that Paul Cox tried to use him as a target man. But he can finish better than most...
From what I can tell, the Scott Doe rumour has come about after pure guesswork when someone said there was a player with their agent at training yesterday. Then some Stags fan for some reason decided it would be "top bants" to edit his Wiki page to say he'd signed for us. This was squashed when...
Reading through this thread and seeing the numbers the likes of Carlisle and Notts County are having on trial are warning signs for me. I don't know too much about either side but is it fair to make the observation that you're still building your squad for next season?
I say this because we...
From Newport county in 05 to today he's played upfront as a striker. Cox didnt convert him to anything.
You've already been corrected on Stagsnet about this and you still keep banging the drum, why do you care so much about being wrong?
If an Oxford fan says he played as a striker then I'm...
Rated by our fans, got a lot of potential and his pace is enough to cause problems at this level. A bit disappointed to see him leave but not shocked, it was obvious he didn't fit into Murray's plans.
