Or Widdecombe-on-the-moor as it used to be known when I was growing up, at least on tourist pottery knick-knacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it`s Widecombe IN the Moor. I never go there to be honest, you can`t move for tourists most of the time. if I want a nice walk down that way I stop at Postbridge and go from there.

No. Position Player 1 GK Frank Fielding 2 DF Mark Little 3 DF Derrick Williams 4 DF Aden Flint 5 DF Luke Ayling 6 DF Adam El-Abd 7 MF Korey Smith 10 FW Kieran Agard No. Position Player 12 GK Richard O'Donnell 13 DF Scott Golbourne 14 MF Bobby Reid 15 MF Luke Freeman 18 FW Aaron Wilbraham (captain) 20 FW Wes Burns 21 MF Marlon Pack 22 FW Jonathan Kodjia 23 MF Joe Bryan No one would dispute the squad is short on numbers. However, I feel it is a stronger squad than last season, based on Flint and Pack in particular proving they can play at this level, which at the early stages of last season look. I would also add that Reid has also shown an ability to play at this level as well. The addition of Goldbourne and potentially Matthews to what we had last season, also proves the squad is stronger in both quality and experience. We need to bring in players to enhance the squad, but in my opinion we're in a stronger place than 12 months ago. It isn't all doom and gloom just yet!

Ivorguy Posted May 29, 2016 Report Share Posted May 29, 2016 The difference between success and failure is often not the players but the coaching staff; and quite clearly on this front we are in a far better place than at the start of last season.

Yes agreed...wasn't talking about ability though...just lack of numbers :-) In fact I don't feel any gloom and doom at all, the opposite tbh.

eric04 Posted May 29, 2016 Report Share Posted May 29, 2016 Reasons to be cheerful: Our top players now have a year of Championship experience. Flint, Bryan, Smith, Pack, even Freeman should all be better again next year for that experience. Kodjia has a year of English football. We we have improved left back, and hopefully right back. We have increased turnover potential with crowds up to 27000 now. Our wage will increase. The target should be top half this season. Slow steady progression as Sheffield Wednesday have done. Hopefully Des Taylor will be identifying some good value international and lower league gems. Let's be honest we can't compete with clubs for established English players leaving premiership clubs.

Not relevant I know but just saying............, I think you'll find that Lennon wrote both songs and Macca had nothing to do with it. In fact, the Fab two rarely collaborated on any songs Not relevant I know but just saying............, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
