I see you've signed Hutchinson. We had him on loan in the second half of 2020-21. He barely played though, so no idea why we bothered.
And I recall someone joined our forum who spent most of many posts blasting Cooper for not playing him or playing him out of position or whatever, only to...
From this thread it seems like most clubs are in the black on season ticket sales vs last season (or is it just the clubs with supporters on this forum?). I'm getting the same vibe on the EFL1 board. I wonder what is driving the increase? It's not like most people have spare money burning a hole...
What are the rules on players at the world cup? I thought part of the point of starting early is that clubs can postpone games more easily than in normal seasons if players are taking part in that middle eastern circus/shitshow?
As if this competition wasn't great enough already, at Walsall away last season the first prize in the spot the ball competition was free pizza for a year.
Sweeney is indeed a good signing for Stevenage. I'm sad to see him go, but apparently he wants more playing time.
And I'm surprised Rawson didn't get more game time at Mansfield rather than that converted centre forward who looked a liability whenever I saw him.
Presumably the smaller the budget the more vulnerable clubs are to poor results due to injuries, because they don't have the squad depth? If that's true the likes of Accrington must be more reliant on their first choice XI staying fit than the bigger spenders.
I'm sure what will happen is that we will play one of the so-called big teams in EFL1 off the park one week, wonder what all the fuss was about, and then get battered by one of the so-called lesser teams the next. And that's football.
Is Matty Taylor still in your mix? For some reason I wondered if we might be able to tempt him back here once he gets to the autumn of his playing days.
I seem to recall in our last season in NL we had away trips to Barrow, Gateshead, Torquay and Dover - basically the four corners of England. Chuck in an away FA Cup replay at Truro, and I don't think the journeys could have got any further.
