The revenue opportunities really are the key to future success, thank god we have that element with our new community stadium. If I remember rightly Burton actually make more from off field revenue than they do from gate receipts which allows them to punch above their weight. The illustration...
There's no doubt if you want to make comparisons between the two that Green has the potential to score far more goals next season, Oliver is a one in four/ five performer so that unlikely to change. Thing is there is no massive expectation from our fanbase about the guy. Everyone tries to talk...
You seem to be in the minority with that opinion. We need someone that compliments Hyde regardless of the ability to score 20 plus goals a season because with the right partner he's capable of a good few. I think we probably have a bang average league two player but frankly that's probably...
We got all our targets very early last season and look how well that turned out. I'm not worried if we take our time as traditionally our first signing has always turned out to be a flop, not a good omen for our ex Mansfield striker.
I honestly expect him to smash his career, league goalscoring record very quickly. Been serious though IF he stays fit I don't see any reason why he can't knock a few goals in.
Trust me it had nothing to do with Benning, he was the first one dropped when we were over our quota of loan players. I know it's human nature in football to slag an ex player that's just joined another club but it sounds to me like all we've done is swap two very average players.
He sc
He scored what 7 goals in 30 appearances last season with by all accounts pretty poor service ? I think 10/15 is probably achievable IF he plays week in week, maybe nearer the 10 than 15. As I say I've got no great expectations of him, don't think many city fans have at this stage. We...
Looking at the feedback from Mansfield fans on him it's pretty mixed with everything from lazy to not getting decent service but no I'm not expecting him to tear anything up. I would be happy with 10/15 goals from him which looks achievable if he holds down a regular starting place alongside...
I would probably give it a while before making too many predictions it's very early days. You have an inexperienced manager that is far from proven at this point and have also signed a player today that could not hold down a place at left back for us last season. Ok I understand the excitement...
It's probably fair to say they look nothing special on paper but sometimes it's more about how they gel as a group, a squad of average players can have success at this level if they work together.
You could ask the same question about most positions in this league. Its league two and the vast majority of players are average, I can pretty much guarantee right now we won't sign a single player that will have fans of other clubs stating it's a stand out signing. You can probably count those...
Very suprised if true given he has failed to prove himself twice now at league level. I actually though he started out the season as one of our better players before going downhill. A solid player at conference level and certainly puts in 100% which is more than many, good luck to him.
Very true. You could make the argument that he had a good set up at Chesterfield and it's a risk, but it's a risk at any club where a manager can go from hero to villain in the space of a month, Chesterfield have a poor couple of months the start of next season and the fans would be on his back...
While I would agree it's a risk and the pressure will be on him there is no doubt which club has the better potential. There are plenty of examples over the years of managers making what look initially like backwards steps in order to move forward. If Portsmouth are now on an even footing they...
