    Stickied League 1 Transfer Rumours/Confirmed Transfers 2024/25

    He played a couple of times as a striker and the rest as a winger. He was better as a striker but we signed him as a winger where he was ineffective. He could get away with his loss of speed/acceleration as a striker as he is still strong unlike as a winger as it was his main weapon. Unless...

    Stickied League 1 Transfer Rumours/Confirmed Transfers 2024/25

    You have to hope he has rediscovered how to accelerate again and regained his top speed as he was a bit slow after his significant injury just after joining us last season. Seemed a decent bloke but even though he lost a fair bit of weight going into pre-season from last season, he was never in...

    We've managed to combine international duty and injury with Ciaron Brown and Tyler Goodrham getting injured with their respective squads.

    If you get the Oxford version then he'll end up being a good appointment. But you will probably need to give him time. He took until Christmas in his 1st season with us to impose his style but he came in late in the summer. Once he did though, he built an excellent team/squad bar some very...

    We won comfortably 3-1 at Northampton Louis Griffiths became our youngest ever player tonight with other Academy players Aidan Elliot-Wheeler and George Franklin also making their debut. Josh Murphy played left back as well. Useful to get some minutes into squad players, injured players...

    Sam Winnall, sadly, is an injury waiting to happen and so slow now.

    Yes, don't mind them being wrong as long as they are consistently getting that decision wrong in the same way over a game.

    I don't doubt he did something, just curious if anybody saw what. That is what I mean by erratic from the Ref. Some things he ignored one moment then penalised the next. The Smith hack just sticks in the mind as it was at our end and what he'd given before, was a blatant caution.

    Do you know what the violent conduct was? Smith held his face but your management claimed the Ref said it was for a stamp? Agree with your other comments above. The Ref was very erratic in dishing out cautions. Smith had 2 cynically wild swipes, with absolutely no attempt at the ball, at...

    Kyle Edwards confirmed on a season loan from Ipswich. We needed a left winger anyway but especially after Marcus Browne's injury.

    No, eats it often but portions are judged by the field.

    Is it time for a 'Managerial Merry go round' thread?

    Risky going back to an old manager. You could do with a proper recruitment process I reckon. I'm glad we did last season, regardless of the situation at the time which was worse than you currently, considering where we are now with Liam Manning. The recruitment is done by somebody else anyway...

    We are looking at one more but there may be outgoings as well which may change that. For me, hopefully a forward who can play across the line. We've been linked with Ryan Longman and I'd be happy with that.

    It'll probably be called off due to us anyway even if Reading don't have the required numbers. Beadle, Brown, Stevens and Harris I'd assume will get called up if fit.

    We really should have finished that off in the 1st half as we were so on top. Superb goal by Tyler Goodrham to take the lead. You were the better team in the 2nd half but we still created as many chances as yourselves. We have so much speed on the break and you kind of played into our hands for...
