They really do have a bee in their bonnet regarding us.. to be fair I've seen alot of our fans questioning why Semenyo is going to a 'small club' like Bournemouth. I think its just the usual melodramatic response from fans added with some spite because of nicking Naismith before. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brad blit Posted January 27, 2023 Report Share Posted January 27, 2023 People may be hoping (so do I) that we look to sign a strong/quick player to replace Semenyo (or at least those attributes) but I’m glad we are going for someone like Cornick - someone with some trickery and ability to get past players, it’s something we are lacking with this team, genuine creativity and inventiveness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

handsofclay Posted January 27, 2023 Report Share Posted January 27, 2023 I think their jealousy goes back to 1989 when City lost very narrowly in the league cup semi final 2-1 over 210 minutes to Nottingham Forest while Luton lost limply 3-1 to the same opponents over just 90 minutes (so would've been 7-2 over 210 minutes) in the final. And, to rub it in even more, Luton's solitary goal was scored by ex City striker Mick Harford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taz Posted January 27, 2023 Report Share Posted January 27, 2023 (edited) Wow some of them need to remember where they were a few years ago. A season or two in the Championship, and a very good run a few years ago, they seem to think they're on par with Liverpool!!! We have underachieved for years, but at least we know it!!

I'm always pleasantly surprised when other teams' fans have that much of an opinion on us. I always worry that our lack of on the pitch success means we're a little bit of middling club who other clubs' fans aren't really arsed about either way. So I always find it quite pleasing to find out we're actually succeeding at something enough to make other fans dislike us!

(Don't know who but won't be a huge fee if we do it!) Obviously with the Semenyo funds and wages cleared up such as Bentley and hopefully some others gives us a tiny bit more wriggle room without being able to massively splash the cash!

You beat me to it. Typically as a Tier2/Tier3 “straddles” we’ve attracted the wrong type of player…and graveyard is a good term. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBF though, once he broke his duck, (was it 13 games to get off the mark..?) him and Glyn were a very good partnership.

Yes, that's the one thing I picked up on with NP....saying any forward would have to be able to our high intensity. This where I wonder where Palmer Holden would fit in the future.

Red Army 75 Posted January 27, 2023 Report Share Posted January 27, 2023 Imagine waking up in Luton everyday. Absolute shithole. I’m glad other clubs fan bases don’t like us, we aren’t needy like those ***** north of the river 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFCGav Posted January 27, 2023 Report Share Posted January 27, 2023 Cornick for 300k would surely signal very good business. That's not even the Semenyo money, that's the bloody Towler/Bentley money! He's hard working and industrious which fits our forward mould and knows where the net is. Lots of experience at this level too. Hope this one goes through. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only bit I would quibble with is that we all see ourselves as a sleeping giant. A solid medium sized club would meet most of our own views. Not to say we don't wish for more of course, but I think most of us are pretty realistic about what we have been post WW2. Our biggest advantage over them, is well, we do not have to go home to Luton... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
