    2025 promotion thread

    I seriously doubt that would happen with your resources. I don't know the contractual situation of your current squad, but I'm sure that there are plenty of players that you'd be shipping out, and getting in reinforcements in the close season. We only got relegated by a whisker in our one...

    Absolutely not complaining about this, and it's great that the fixture isn't being rescheduled, but I'm quite surprised that our 15th March home game v Wxm hasn't been picked for Sky, considering some of the games they choose...

    Saturday 15 February fixtures

    I haven't seen Bolton post-Evatt's departure but traditionally they have been one of the more ball-to-feet sides in the division, and Ainsworth's spoiling tactics can work quite well against that kind of side.

    Saturday 15 February fixtures

    Couple of relegation dogfight belters in there, Cambridge v Exeter and Gas v Burton being potential brown trousers classics. We have the mighty Crawley away, them having come off the back of a respectable win v Stevenage. We’re still yet to truly settle as a team post-the loss of Bloomfield...

    Tuesday 11 February fixtures

    Wellll…you’ll have to get at least 2 goals for that to happen, given Joe Low should be good for one against you.

    Tuesday 11 February fixtures

    Just over half the teams in the league are in action this Tuesday: Don’t fancy Cambridge’s chances much but maybe they see it as a free hit. Sticking with the relegation dogfight, will be interesting to see if Shrews can keep up recent form against an inconsistent Reading side.

    FA Cup 2024/25

    yeah, we got thumped 6-1 in the League Cup by City and it just felt like a training exercise in the second half with all their kids queuing up to score a glamour goal - including Cole Palmer's first senior goal. Amusingly we didn't even play *our* first team as the first priority was promotion...

    Someone posted this on our forum, about silly spending in this division... There's an article in today's financial times about the record amount spent in our division ahead of next season's new spending rules. https://www.ft.com/content/497dd187-6a03-4460-bfc0-f41055b36c3b It's behind a...

    2025 relegation dogfight thread

    I haven't watched the footage from the link, but in fairness to their fans (and I say this with a mild dislike of Peterborough just about how bitter they were when we got promoted) a fair few of them think they're doomed as well. Obviously a few people on a forum is not necessarily...

    Stickied League 1 Transfer Rumours/Confirmed Transfers 2024/25

    He’s a very useful player to have, very versatile and great in the air. I wouldn’t say he’s amazing at any one position, he’s always been a utility player for us, but Ainsworth knows all about him so he could be an option.

    On re-reading, he was released before the end of the window - but it was only announced today.

    our site doesn't say what he's gone to do exactly, it just says he's left to "explore new opportunities". That said, the last time someone did that at Wycombe, it was our RB Jason McCarthy, hanging up his boots at the ripe old age of 29 to become a coach at Brighton.

    Stickied League 1 Transfer Rumours/Confirmed Transfers 2024/25

    Long-time player (as well as former Exeter man, and Franchisee) David Wheeler has just left the club, I'm assuming we paid up his contract in order to let him go as a free agent. He had barely got a look-in this season even *before* our flood of January signings, so this is fairly unsurprising...

    2025 relegation dogfight thread

    Well are you trying to contend that you *weren’t* whipping boys? Re. Fin Back, yep, doesn’t fill me with confidence but I’ve never (knowingly) seen him play, we’ve got 2 more RBs though so if he’s pants, he won’t play.

    Not a complete set of fixtures this weekend given there's a few L1 sides still in the FA Cup (us included) but quite a few games still on.

    2025 relegation dogfight thread

    I don't know which "people" you're referring to specifically, but I'd be highly surprised to see Mansfield ever even flirting with the drop spots. Whilst we've beaten them twice, they've looked pretty solid but lacking up front (Gregory was definitely injured for at least one of those games so...

    oh yeah, we can be grateful that we didn't sell Kone this window, squillion pound bid or not, but he's nailed on to go in the summer (contracted till the end of 2026) - he's already turned down a contract extension with us. Even if we got promoted (and it's still a big if) then I'm sure...

    That is definitely really bad. I was frustrated the two times that we went up from L2 to L1 and completely failed to strengthen adequately (there were reasons why both times which I won’t bore you with, but still) - and surprise surprise, came straight back down both times. But it’s even...

    Ah, fair enough, thanks. We’ve got lots of broken right backs already though so the “made of glass” bit doesn’t sound great.

    In other news: is Fin Back as good as the rest of the Carlisle team? Cos we’ve just signed him.
