Popular Post GrahamC Posted June 25, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 25, 2022 New Cheltenham boss, he still lives in Southville & maybe will take a look at a few that we have? Incidentally both their keepers left them this summer, so if the French lad does arrive it could be a very logical destination for Max. 20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You got the impression Wade's off-pitch contribution was as important as his on-pitch one. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshtonRobin21 Posted June 25, 2022 Report Share Posted June 25, 2022 Would be a perfect loan for either Conway or Bell. I'd like one to remain to challenge this season. But could be great for their development to test themselves in League 1. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Gillies Downs Leeds Posted June 25, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 25, 2022 A top man is Wade. Remember him going into a hospital after my mates elderly father had a fall outside Ashton Gate. The day Wade went into see him, was the morning of the promotion parade. He sat with him for about half an hour having a chat. As a player for us for me it was MK at home that epitomised his character. Gave away a goal with a Under hit backpass and then went straight from the restart and scored to put us back in front. 33 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Posted June 25, 2022 Report Share Posted June 25, 2022 Interesting appointment. Went to Cheltenham a fair few times under Duff. They were decent. But at the level they are they rely heavily on the loan market. Will be interesting to see how Wade recruits. He’ll have some decent contacts, but I also wonder if he might look at a few younger Prem/Champ cast-offs rather than play the loan market so much. I’ll be watching with great interest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoystonFoote'snephew Posted June 25, 2022 Report Share Posted June 25, 2022 Absolute model professional. I don't know about his tactical nous but if a player wants to learn how to handle the presssure of being a footballer, both on and off the pitch, they couldn't have a better role model. I wish him every success, especially against the other gloucestershire sides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Portred Posted June 25, 2022 Report Share Posted June 25, 2022 In our promotion season v MK Dons at home. He gifted them a goal, within a minute he won the ball back and scored to make up for his mistake. That was a defining moment for me. MK Dons we’re still an outside threat but I knew after our captains redemption it was gonna be our season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Realistically staying up next season is a decent achievement as they’re minnows at that level. That having been said, FGR, Morecambe, Burton & Accrington all aren’t exactly Sheffield Wednesday either & so they have a fighting chance if he recruits well because there is always one club (it was Gillingham last year) that unexpectedly struggles. If Alfie May stays (not certain), their chances massively increase. I’d hope one or two, like Max O’Leary (as they currently have no senior keeper), Sam Bell, Sam Pearson or even Taylor Moore with Will Boyle leaving them, might be on his radar.

Don’t forget they’ve lost Callum Wright and Mattie Pollock too, who, aside from May, were their best players last season. Keen to see how he recruits. Same with FGR too though, lost crucial players, new manager, what’s he gonna bring in. Fascinating stories ahead for both of these.

Brilliant young coach. Loved by the fans and the staff. LJ was coming off the back of an awful season at the time, so imo felt Wade was a ready made successor to him in the building 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
