Re: Confimred - Jack Marriott

Nothing wrong with the Marriott signing - knows the division, can score goals and can be a right pain in the arse up top. If, as Brogue, intimates we are still looking for a bigger forward to compliment Marriott and MOM then we should end the window with decent options up top. I see him more as a r...

Re: Speculation - Jamie Paterson

He was brought in at the start of the summer window under the previous Plymouth manager and has played a couple of games this season so is match fit but Plymouth have recently bought a couple of strikers (one v expensive in Tolaj) who now appear to be ahead of Paterson. But most telling was that th...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Bolton Wanderers (a)

O'Mahony is an obvious target for criticism. Just not on the same wavelength, not entirely sure what he gives to the side. It's not even like he could be a goal poacher type player as he's rarely in a position to feed off mistakes etc in the penalty area. I am less certain he will come good. MOM ju...

Re: Club legend.

Noel is nowhere near legendary status. Legendary status means that your legacy stands up against and then beyond others. On the playing side of things, names such as Ronnie Blackman were spoken about by my Father, who scored 158 goals in 218 games for Reading. In more modern terms, players such as ...

Re: MATCHWATCH : AFC Wimbledon (h)

With all the dialogue around Hunty getting his P45, I honestly think that if it got to a point whereby he thought there was somebody else out there who could do a better job, he would more than likely stepped down anyway. He's clearly a man of integrity and has the club in his heart. Plus he would ...

Re: BFTG - AFC Wimbledon

I agree with all of this BUT I think Noel has to change as well. Playing Wing as as a DMF like a quarterback is insane with Wings talent. Wing has a 10 on his back....play him as a 10..not in a position where he is toothless. When he was advanced and got a bit of space we looked better and he even ...

Re: BFTG - Huddersfield

I can see a lot of parallels with the first Selles season, except more stability off the pitch. New, young team getting outsmarted by more experienced sides, but I think we're better now and it won't get as dire as then. It's easy to say we've lost quality players like Smith, Knibbs, Azeez, Mbengue...

Re: Squad for 2025-2026

windermereROYAL Interesting news on the SSN this morning. probably nothing but.

Eastleigh confirm they have accepted a club record fee from a league one club for forward Tyrese Shade


Their previous record fee was 120K, so it's probably above Couhig's budget.

Re: confimred - Finley Burns

Greatwesternline 22 years old. Burns hasn't scored a goal in 63 appearance.

How is this loan signing better than Wareham or WiFi or Bodin?


Because Wareham ,WiFi and Boden being attacking players are expected to score goals, Defenders especially Center halfs not so much.

Re: Squad for 2025-2026

That's not really true. We've lost Craig and Wareham to rivals when they could have been good squad options Which is precisely what they didn’t want to be. So they left at the end of their contract. That’s not us “losing” them. Yeah, that's how I see it as well. Whatever the situation and perhaps i...

Hound Would worry more about Selles bringing in some of the u21s on the very cheap that he knows have high potential and a very low sale value atm. Everyone else knows about our better players + Garcia and Bindon as it is

Re: Next manager

Can't blame Ruben for wanting to leave but to Hull? That's what I think. Hull is such an odd choice. It's uninspiring (no offence to them, just the timing and their position). I can understand his desire to get away but this doesn't feel a good choice If he goes, I'll be absolutely gutted. It would...
