I'm with you there. After a few promising games earlier in the season, his form has fallen off a cliff. Looks fully like a non league player and too much of a liability at this stage. Even though Smith is pretty awful at RCB, at least he can defend. He just needs to pass the ball simple to...
Have you guys settled for midtable with a look to push on next season? You seemed pretty confident of a playoff push before. For what it's worth, I don't think you're far off but maybe too much to do this season.
Oh yeah I did go to that! That was a joy to be fair, watching some of Italy's best footballers. From memory, it was like a friendly game really and not many fans went.
They were very rich before but have sold most of their shares in their business for a huge amount, so now they're very loaded but certainly nowhere near billionaires and not on the level that say Birmingham, Mk dons or Wrexham level.
The intent before was to try and get us to Championship...
Great day out as you say, and good money for the club, but having been to 3 major finals with the Vale, and dominated and won each game, I'm not sure how I'd feel about my team getting battered at Wembley.
Perhaps I'm just a miserable old git. I often struggle to understand people's over exuberance about the most mundane of things. Something has to be really good for me to enthuse about it.
Not bitter. Just a weird reaction. Established league teams see this as essentially a reserve game, which it was for us. Unfortunately, your reserves are far better than ours at the moment but it won't always be like this.
Wrexham players and fans looked overjoyed to be winning that. Clearly didn't get the memo after being in non league. Sky would absolutely cream themselves over a Birmingham/Wrexham final.
We could have been 2 or 3 up 1st half but kind of gave up after the 2nd goal.
It sort of proves that...
I'm convinced that season was a one off. As a complete tosser himself, he probably enjoyed playing with other tossers like the Williams and Egbo and that tosser of a manager.
That penalty miss was just magical. He even laughed in an ironic way. If I was a Swindon fan I'd have been fuming as...
I think it's the right way to go. A lot of teams will just recruit for the here and now, to get out of the division, without thinking long term. The trouble with that strategy is that league 2 is often a ceiling for a lot of them, so you end up having to replace a lot. Of course, you can...
It's great isn't it? It has the vibe of a town centre bar and puts our 1970s working men's club to shame. Shame about the rest of the ground...it reminded me of a leisure centre near to where I live. I believe they are looking to replace the knackered old terrace down the side. The place has...
They could turn out to be great but pretty much all the youngsters we've signed (apart from Arblaster who's just unbelievable) are either very inconsistent or just not ready for men's football. You'd think in your position, you'd sign a bit of experience and knowhow. Connor Grant could be an...
What's quite noticeable is that very few teams are buying journeymen or big ticket signings. Most appear to be signing Premier league reserve talent or educated punts. It seems like too many teams have had their fingers burnt (I'm looking at you Ryan Loft!)
Perhaps the one area we could have done with back up is in the striker department. Our back up after the 2 main men is 2 young inexperienced lads. Hackford has improved since he came to us but you wouldn't want him as one of your main strikers for a promotion run in. Perhaps the lad from Palace...
Connor Grant is a prime example of why it doesn't always work out when you go for an experienced signing. He came with a great pedigree and promise but I genuinely can't see any redeeming qualities....he's just steady. Not blessed with any pace, not particularly strong, supposedly had a wand of...
