Brilliant news. Missed a programme on match days. 

Gould was somewhere in the middle. 

As long as he is doing his job, which he has with 4 signings, then so be it. 

You can't win can. Mark Ashton was in our face all the time. Now you are not happy that Phil Alexander is nowhere to be seen  

Make up your mind . 

We have ordered season cards instead of the digital one. 

Do you know when they will arrive please.  Thanks 

It is great to see another youngster sign up from the academy.  Good luck

We don't need to sell him just yet. Wait for the January window with his price becoming higher.

Was at Newcastle unless mistaken 

But still would you trust him  

How can his team mates trust him, after betting 7 times against the team, to lose  

OK.  He wasn't playing in those games but that is bang out of order. 

Well done Antoine Semenyo.   

Hope you get many more. 

Well done Alex Scott  

Well deserved.

Who the hell does he think he is 

Another arrogant Manchester United player in the making. 

Manchester United loanee, Amad Diallo is not happy to have missed out on Championship’s Young player of the Year the award for this season. He simply wrote, “Young player, who?” via his Twitter account, accompanied by two laughing emojis, and fans have been reacting.

Crowd is 7045 

What is the crowd attendance  ?

Up to now, reinforced by poor sub appearances, wondering why we signed a near 28 year old forward, with a goal record in the Championship of just 1 in every 5 or 6 games. Could not watch tonight's game, so wondering how do he do having been given his 1st start?

Give him time. A pre season and a fitter player,  he can become good for us. 

And also NEW ZEALAND  

Do you think that Ivan Toney should be included in the England team  ? 

He has a charge pending on betting. He has admitted this charge but as young football fans follow him , should he be allowed to play for England?

The recent 'Problems up front' thread got me thinking last night. As some valid points were made regarding players. 

With the recent departure of Semenyo, the long term injuries to Kalas and Williams and age catching up with some prominent essential players, I thought the subject deserved a thread of it's own. 

Tinman has alluded to bringing in possibly 4 players next season. 

Is this enough?

We are likely to sell Scott for decent money. 

Kalas (30 next season) injury prone likely to not get a renewed contract, but can't be relied on for a full season. 

Williams...again...injury prone. We can't rely on him being a regular.

King will be 35 next season. Age catches up just like it did with Klose.

Naismith had a bad injury, will be 32 next season.

James...been fantastic this season, but again, will be 32 next season. Age catches up. 

Weimann will be 32, hasn't been great this season. On a downward slope?

Wells will be 33. He's been good, but again...legs don't last.

Massengo will be gone, doubts over DaSilva, maybe interest in the likes of Pring. 

That's 11 players with question marks. 

Take those away...and it leaves us with this.

GK 

Haikin 27, O'Leary 26

DF 

Atkinson (long term injury) 24

Vyner 25

Wilson 22

Tanner 23

MF 

Benarous (long term injury) 19

Sykes 25

Mehmeti 22

Forwards 

Conway ( long term injury ) 20

Cornick 27

Bell 20

So in short. We have age catching up with some influential players. Injury prone players who are deemed first team starts we can't rely on. Our best players leaving/ just left. Players coming back from injury, and new recruits who are showing how long it takes to gell. 

I can't see anyone in our current academy that can come in and start on a regular basis and be good enough to make an impact that would make us a solid Championship side. 

So we can't rely on that?

Whilst our younger players will have another season under their belts and positively developing ( Tanner, Sykes eg) our experienced players have imo, reached their peak, and will be on a downward slope. Age just catches up. Even more so when playing with such high intensity we are aiming to play. 

It's been said we will be looking to recruit, young hungry players from League 1 with games under their belt. 

What about replacing our experienced players. James has been a rock. But next season? 

Thoughts?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It depends on the players and how they manage themselves.  Some older players are needed for the balance of youth and experience.  You don't always need speed but a football brain is essential , to play. 

Congratulations Jerry. 

Well deserved

Our thoughts are with his family.  

Definitely a penalty.  

Sad news

Not a chance would we buy them.  

He is like an old boomerang.  He is hard to throw away
