We have been slightly better at home than away, an extraordinary low bar to clear, but the wins have been quite fortunate at times. Only really the Watford game obviously and perhaps Stoke where you could say we “deserved” to win. The games against Hull, Derby, and the draw with Swansea stand...
I see Leicester have recalled Tom Cannon from Stoke and he is likely to be sold. Think we were on the periphery of the pack looking to get him in the summer and I imagine we have 0 chance now with Sheffield United and Sunderland reported to have offers on the table.
Sheffield United in...
As expected we lost to Forest.
We actually did ok at times and Jones looked lively in moments, but being honest Forest didnt really have to do that much and werent out of second gear for the most part. First goal McGuinness got caught under the ball, he always has at least one mistake in him...
I have got to say I’m not keen on it at all.
He is inexperienced and it took him a fair while to get his method in at Wycombe, it wasn’t until late last season that they put it together. We can’t really afford that sort of time to get it right and we need to hit the ground running really.
We...
We had 60m this past summer and fat lot of good that did!
But agree would be a strange move considering how many CBs we actually have, especially right footers. If anything we need to offloading some right footers and getting in some LCBs because that’s a major issue for us imo. But I see Lowe...
Cooper is the best option for that lot but you are right the cost will be a factor.
I sense most fans wouldn’t agree with me but i would take Nathan back to be honest. He just…fits here.
Really interesting press conference by Gary Sweet today I thought. Mentioned a few “incidents” that went on which challenged Edwards and meant he “lost his focus” a bit. Obviously no details given and he clearly still maintains a good relationship with him but interesting nonetheless.
It has...
Disappointed to see Taylor go and a bit frustrating we couldn’t bring through a clearly talented player.
As has been mentioned there’s a mixture of his skill set not really matching how we play as he isn’t big enough, and I think his attitude. Not sure what happened, rumours of a fallout with...
Your would think we would have another striker lined up relatively soon given its only Adebayo, Morris, Woodrow right now and the latter has become more of a number 10 than an actual striker lately
We’ve also let Taylor finally go to Huddersfield. A shame as he never has been given an opportunity. I think it reflects especially poorly on the club on us that we haven’t been able to bring him through one of the most promising forward players in L1/2 from last season. Certainly if I were a...
Jones has signed now. For some reason I thought he was left sided but he’s actually right sided.
Still needed as our options there (Walters, Hashioka) have been disappointing for various reasons.
Sad day. Hope now it’s done we can return to a bit more of an even discourse about him because it was getting quite nasty at times in my view. He’s a clearly a decent bloke, gave us some great days and lead the club through a difficult time with what happened to Lockyer and the injuries that...
Nelson has it spot on for me. Obviously its been a while since we were in L1, and we might see it again sooner rather than later, but as we did something similar to what Wrexham might - going straight through L1 to the Champ in 1 season, Ill add my 2p here.
As Nelson mentions it is its...
In the midst of the rumours swirling about Edwards, we have apparently had a bid accepted for Isaiah Jones from Middlesborough. LWB or winger but crucially has a bit of pace which we are desperately lacking.
3m apparently. West Brom have also had the same accepted so lets see where he ends up...
We’ve been here before where it’s been reported he’s gone and it’s not been true. Will reserve judgement until the club reports it themselves, but I do think it is odd timing if true given all signs indicated he was getting the window and the club had prepared with him for that. I’d be worried...
Didnt even make the bench for us last night, id think he is on his way. Although not many rumours of striker incomings for us, which was the sticking point in the summer.
Bradley was done at Championship level when he left us. Was surprised that Derby kept him around in the summer for that reason. He actually played against us a couple of weeks ago. He isnt a particularly mobile player so you definitely need him surrounded with the right players so he isnt...
Doubt we will sack him. Like i said elsewhere, the time for him to go was after Middlesborough but we decided to back him and plan for this January window.
Personally id have not done that and made the change then but they didnt, so accepting that decision you have to see through your January...
