Cook would be a great signing for us and would be a real mark of intent for us to get promoted within 2 seasons but I just can't see why he would come here over anywhere else. Some say he didn't like it here before but that could easily be down to Hurst neglecting him in favour of John-Lewis...
So they did, I even watched it :lol: I'll stick by my point on game time though, he'll be the first name on the team sheet here. He's stalled on signing the contract they've offered him so there's a real possibility he's got an eye on something else.
Signing Embleton permanently would be a top bit of business at this level but not sure I see that one happening. I think it's more likely now Sunderland have gone up, in terms of him getting game time. I don't think he's Championship level yet but no doubt he has the potential. I'd imagine he'd...
Bogle has more potential than Hearn had because he's a lot bigger and more powerful which are two great traits to have if you want to play as high as the Premier League. Just think he made the jump too far and too soon. Hearn was insanely good with the ball though, he used to embarrass defences...
Didn't know that in fairness. No denying both were very talented and far, far too good for non league.
I think Green will suit us as we've missed a proper work horse upfront, only player we have like that is Harry Cardwell who is nowhere near good enough. Maybe he'll improve having a senior...
We've not had a striker as good as Hearn in well over 10 years and we've had some pretty good ones. It will sadly never be a debate that can be truly answered thanks to his injuries but maybe this will be the season where Green finally puts it to bed. Give us 25-30 goals to send us up and I'll...
It's an okay signing, straight replacement for Thomas who I think is the better player but was always one foot out the door, so we should see a lot more out of Green in comparison. 2 years is a little surprising but I'm relatively content.
Well and truly on our holidays. With the way we're playing at the minute, I don't think our 6 game losing streak at the start of the season will look so bad in a months time..
We're plagued with what every mid table side suffers with, good old inconsistency. Compared to last season however, we've had spells of playing extremely well and you can see the ceiling for this squad is a lot, lot higher. We need a few things to go our way in the next window but Jolley has had...
We are well and truly on holiday already. Very disappointing after finding ourselves with an outside chance of the playoffs. If we can cut this losing streak to just 2 or 3 though, that would be progress.
A big test coming up for us to ensure this isn't the start of yet another losing streak. If we can break that habit and cut it down to one or two losses between winning streaks, we can still look for a top half or even top ten finish, which would be a brilliant finish for us. Let's not forget...
Cambridge 2 and our season effectively over. A lack of depth in our squad ironically after what I was just saying about how good our team looks. We're missing a quality central midfielder or two. Also think we should change our system up now and then, don't think Jolley is stubborn to it and I...
GTFC XI: McKeown, Hall-Johnson, Davis, Collins (c), Hendrie, Hessenthaler, Embleton, Clifton, Ring, Dennis, Thomas.
Subs: Russell, Whitmore, Grayson, Rose, Cardwell, Cook, Vernam. #GTFC
That's a bloody good team if I dare say. Swap Collins for Ohman as a mainstay and if we can somehow keep...
Regarding this stamp yesterday on Cook, from the Lower it looked like minimal contact but obviously the foot was on the other side of the player from my perspective so couldn't see what exactly happened. The stupid part of it all was the yellow card, either it's an accident or it's violent...
Not thinking about the playoffs just yet but one thing is certain; any team in this league would fucking love Jake Hessenthaler in their side. We wouldn't be anywhere near the top half if we didn't have him. Easily Jolley's best signing so far although Ohman could soon change that.
I think with the squad we've got right now, we would have a great chance of sneaking into the top 7 if it was a level playing field points wise. We've got quality in every position now and a pretty decent bench. We've just given ourselves too much to do with that 6 game losing streak and poor...
As mentioned, we'd likely need 11 wins from 15 with a draw or two thrown in to be in with a chance. Stranger things have happened but not sure about that one. The loss to Macclesfield and lack of draws/wins around it blew our outside chances really.
Crewe look okay and would be my guess at a...
Rose is an okay lower/mid table midfielder in this league. Monster pen taker and a decently long throw, can play in the middle with either a defensive role or a bit of freedom to get forward, but is very unlikely to do both. Don't expect a box to boxer. Prone to a mistake and a bad tackle.
Not...
It's performances like today that you can put next to another to compare and it's plain as day where the difference is. Our first run of good form came when we finally binned off JJ Hooper and we've managed to end another losing streak today after binning off Mitch Rose. I don't think it's a...
