Brought in a couple of good players in on deadline day, but so did MK, game could go either way but expecting a close game, 1 goal in it either way, should hopefully take close to 3000 fans, which would be a good showing from us.
Shrews looked a solid side, much better than us on the day but that wasn't saying much, i'm not too worried, 7 points from 4 games is a good start, but we're lacking a couple of players and we really, really lack pace, with this talk of no more transfers I think it's unlikely this team reaches...
Basically a natural finisher and not much else, and his confidence was never there for us, we tried playing him up top by himself which was never gonna work, hope he does well for you
Just to let you know his record on Wiki is bullshit, he got 6 goals in 40 league games, someone's obviously...
Yeah you guys played well, think a draw would have been a fair result but you definitely deserved it more than us, still early days though and we'd have been very happy with 6 points from 3 games before the season started so not too bothered
Have for some reason decided to go to this, even worse decision is i'm on the coach as the train was bloody expensive, hopefully we'll continue our 100% start to the (league) season or else the journey home is gonna be even worse
I think we'll start with the same team as we did against Pompey...
Marvin Johnson has told management he wants to leave
Not fussed really, especially if we can get a couple of million for him, he's very talented but never really performed like a 2m player for us
Second half performance was awesome, Pompey pressed us very hard in the first half and it made it difficult for us to play but they couldn't keep it up and we thoroughly outplayed them in the second
Ryan Ledson for us
Joined us as he wasn't going to get a look in at Everton as they had a couple of older players breaking into the first team in his position
He captained the England under 17's when they won the Euros and was very highly rated
He's a tidy passer but is more defensive minded...
Leeds and Hull linked with Marvin Johnson from us, apparently he looked disinterested last night so looks like he'll be gone in the next few days
Got ability but never consistently put it together for us, if we get the rumoured £2 million for him i'd be very happy
Payne sounded fantastic, seen the 2 assists and they were very good
Henry and Williamson seem like really good experienced additions, Williamson sounding like an absolute mountain at the back which we lacked last season (Dunkley a bit too soft at times, despite his build)
Overall a great start...
If Williams didn't get himself sent off in his last game for us it'd very likely Northampton would have been relegated to non league, funny how things turn out
He was a bit hit and miss for us but the quality was definitely there
