Yeah he’s still only a very young lad who struck me as perhaps slightly immature/naive for his age, so the proximity to his family near Ipswich is probably a huge bonus for him.

I actually recommended him to Orient when he was at AFC Sudbury. Good short-area quickness; likes to ghost past his defender with a shoulder dip and get the ball in the box. Lovely crosser of the ball and can use both feet. Good at getting on the end of crosses from the other flank too. Lacks...

Sounds about right. Good finisher, shit footballer. Works hard but a walking yellow card for something petulant.

How have you been at running down blind alleys and giving the ball away when trying a simple five yard pass?

*Disappointed but not surprised.gif* Shit goal to concede late on. Shame because Charlton created absolutely nothing all game. Ref gave them absolutely every decision but we stuck in there and had the odd moment going forward. Irritating to have not picked a point up in both games against...

Scrappy opening half hour at The Valley. Both teams playing quite well without creating anything much. Lots of niggly fouls and head clashes. One poor challenge from Sean Clare which resulted in what looked like an ankle injury for Josh Edwards. Deserved the yellow card it got. Neither keeper...

Charlton (A). We usually lose by a goal at The Valley so I expect the same again. The new keeper chucked another one in last night so maybe he’ll make it a hat-trick on Saturday.

Couple of excellent options to bring on there; we don’t have the luxury of that sort of bench. McAtee was the best player on the pitch when he came on. Bit gutting to lose via a poor goalkeeping error, but I expect us to have to grow into the season a bit - especially considering our monstrous...

He’s got your diving up to mid-season form already, mind. Cracking miss from Dion Charles there.

Precious about being a financially doped hobby club, I guess. Like Salford, but Welsh.

Style in a nutshell: Wellensball. We’ll try to control possession and piss about with it at the back, looking to draw the opposition on and create a quality opening to beat the press and strike like a cobra. Not very effective against teams with a low block or a perfectly-executed press, but...

My Dobson info directly from Richie Wellens.

We seem to enjoy playing Bolton at home, so after our unbeaten pre-season I’ll go for a nice 5-0 thrashing of the lovable losers from Lancashire to kick off our inevitable Invincibles season. Welshpool to get shithoused 1-0 by Wycombe and Burton Albion to be top after an 8-2 win over Lincoln.

You gave Dobson 4x the wages that we offered.

Tough old league this year. Much harder to predict than usual IMHO, as you can make a case for a host of clubs to be in the top 6 and about 10’to be in the bottom 4. Burton are a complete wildcard as well; it’s either going to go terrifically right or horribly, horribly wrong. 1. Birmingham 2...

Spurs U21 on Tuesday followed by a backup El Chavico vs. non league minnows Dagenham & Redbridge. I assume Sarfend were too scared to play an actual El Chavico.

I don’t think there’s an easier step-up between divisions than National League —> League Two. So many clubs just going through the motions down there and always a couple of basket cases to rely on which virtually guarantees survival.

250k? Ha. Daylight robbery as they’ll soon discover, though Omochere will probably be a decent foil for him. Assuming we sack Moncur off then we could do with a #10 (Chilvers?) as well as some back up for Jordan Brown in the #6. Don’t really want Prats anywhere near the team tbh.

Can’t wait to get rid of that useless fat fuck. Can’t we persuade someone stupid like Swindon to pay half his wages for a year?

Hello Craig. Scouted Sam years ago when he was a teenager. Always thought he should have done better with his career than he has, but he certainly lacks a consistent competitive edge. Doubt he’d do well at somewhere with the pressure/expectation at Bradford, but I suppose something could have...
