Pond plays more central than Sweeney - If CB was the choice, Pond is certainly ahead of him. Grounds too. Hartridge is injury prone and he himself may even get picked up by someone this year. Pond will almost certainly feature this season, and he would certainly walk into Championship sides. Our...
As opposed to Storey who would have had less experience than Cheick if he moves later in the year? Weird thing to say. He's been much better than Storey was for us as well thus far. Stubbs' knee problem may put some clubs off, but when fit he's more than good enough for a Championship club and...
There's a good chance both Cheick and Stubbs will be moving up into the Championship in January (if not before)
So to say Pond won't be near our match day squad at all this season after his absolutely solid pre-season thus far, is a bit of a stretch.
Cox will start the season with us I expect.
For comparison, Ollie Watkins was at loan WSM in 2015 and started most of our games the following year and was snapped up by Brentford the year after (Having turned down £1m plus bids from Champ sides 6 months before that)
Jordan Storey was on loan at Bideford in 2016, Tiverton & Dorchester in...
Yes, but we have also not got rid of our main players (none of our starting 11, actually) unlike a certain Village team up north who have got rid of some very key players. We also have an academy with players that are already Championship quality ready to come through. Even if we don't sign...
Derby, Ipswich, Exeter, Wednesday and MK all seem streets above the rest in this league, I think it could be a case of 3 mini leagues. Us 5 fighting it out for autos. Bolton, Rovers, Charlton, Vale, P'boro, Oxford, Barnsley & Pompy fighting for the remaining play off place, then the rest of the...
You'll look as daft as everyone else did arguing with me in L2 last season about our chances of winning the league when we weren't even in the play offs, only to be top of the table the game before the end of the season and losing out just on GD.
This league isn't that good ffs, the absolute...
Sorry, what is your point? Are you suggesting we're all going to have identical teams to last season as well? Feck me. This forum really is full of absolute whoppers.
I see the 2021/22 lot keep saying the promoted teams are underestimating this league, lolz.
I think they're underestimating the promoted sides. Us, Vale & Rovers will all be comfortably top half, FGR not so.
Let them underestimate us at their peril, but I think we all know all our sides are...
A keeper makes as many mistakes as he did in those few minutes of highlights, conceding 7, is all you need to go on. The other 87 minutes he couldve been courtios, he had a shocker and the video proof is there for all to see.
Because you've tried to argue and failed that Scunthorpe played a good team and didnt in anyway throw the game despite getting a jetty payout from that convenient contract clause lol? You realise your posts are still visible?
Because the highlights showing him conceding 7 goals show that his performance was dog shit. The other 87 minutes of the game are irrelevant if you make as many mistakes as he did in the game.
