YoungRed Posted April 22, 2018 Report Share Posted April 22, 2018 Can't believe we are still posting a goal gif on social media which is supposed to be funny when we made it 5-5 yesterday. personsally I don't find anything about how we have played since Xmas funny and other than the Fans I don't feel like anyone else at the club really even cares or has put everything they had into pushing for the playoffs.

nickolas Posted April 22, 2018 Report Share Posted April 22, 2018 For me though, gifs, cup run, serious media attention. January was our chance to recruit big time. We were in the media, proving popular, yet signed nobody of not when surely we couldve attracted some experience to push us over the line. Massive trick missed by the club imo. You dont get to choose when you next get top 6 and weve failed massively in trying to push for something this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've been doing it for every goal this season I think since the Plymouth cup game - possibly earlier. Why stop? Just because things aren't going our way doesn't mean we should suck the life out of everything and make things worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Hitler Posted April 23, 2018 Report Share Posted April 23, 2018 Maybe instead of a goal gif we can show a black screen and play funereal music every time we score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point being you can't name one suggestion without having to go through the clubs process to churn out a name, when you say experienced the likely candidate would be pretty well known if from Britain, so accounting for position, age, level of talent/do they fit our style, there won't be many that get spit out, you're then talking who would want to move, who we can afford and who we wouldn't get ripped off on given it was January and it's a sellers market. But it doesn't stop people on here spouting out 'sign some experience' if they can't name someone without having to go through the process.

I think you’ll find we probably can’t do either. Firstly I did also say a player not even in the squad. Secondly, yeah why not? If X club are paying a player 30k per week and he is not getting in the squad then they may be very tempted to loan him out to a team in a different league willing to pay, say 60% of that. From a players perspective it is game time and a potential shop window playing for a team (who back in January) were in the media spotlight and riding high in the league. A chance to be a big fish in that pond would probably tempt many if they saw no real future where they were. Everybody is down on this club at the moment and rightly so but I firmly believe 3 months ago a lot better quality than Walsh, Kunt and Dionkey would have gladly came here short-term.

Ok, so which experienced premiership player, who’s only on £30k per week. Is not in the squad, but is fit and ready to play, was it that you had in mind..?!

Could you possibly e-mail me the dossier you obviously have on every premiership club and their squads and I will get straight back to you. Or have our scouting network borrowed it back again?

I would probably fail to name you 100 prem players and most of those would be the names everyone knows. Presumably there must be 500 players or more registered in first team premier league squads and I bet over 200 have not made a match-day squad or been put on loan. I don’t follow other teams but still 100% convinced we could have got better than Kent from England’s top league. If not then it is frankly embarrassing that we are below them.

Cameron Jerome’s scoring record is no better than Djuric’s so throwing that one out there to counter a debate is not worthwhile. Clearly we didnt go for experience. Clearly we didnt want to improve the squad. You dont win anything with kids, wasnt it?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get what you are saying, but sadly it’s not that straightforward to get someone that is A) match fit. B) Affordable. C) Interested in dropping down a level for game time & then if they are out there, we’d be in a long queue for their signature. Kent was highly rated. Hasn’t worked out. Dioney, must have something about him previously, but was a risky punt that’s not paid off, but he can just go back to France. Walsh was also highly rated and will be part of our team in the next year or 2, I should think. We’d all have loved Grabban etc, but there weren’t many that spring to mind, who’d have met the A, B & C above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
