Will likely be Dorsett (Montserrat); Lane (Northern Ireland); Camara (Guinea-Bissau) and O'Mahony (Ireland U21) going. Not sure about Garcia, but could well be in an England U18/U19 squad. Would be surprised if Savage (Wales) goes this time. Fraser's nowhere near the Canada squad these days surely, ...

I’m not too sure it is tbh. Sell say Savage and Ahmed and it’s maybe a little bit better; but losing two quality players in Elliott and Savage. And my assumption is we do need to sell players to make the business model work And there’s not really anyone who got a 1 year contract that I’m either esp...

Given the three games in 8 days and the number of injuries, I assume we'd all agree a rotation is in order here? Cup run would be lovely, but we need to get motoring a bit in the league and protect the squad for that. Agree we’ll rotate. Have we got any U21 strikers available to give O’Mahony a res...

Hound Ffs why is this game 7pm. Anyone know?

My theory is that it’s school holidays. I think it’s an attempt to allow kids to go to the game without it getting too late, although that would be impacted by reduced numbers able to get back from work in time for kick-off.

Some news from the U16s. Last week they beat Spurs 3-0 and yesterday beat Leicester 4-0. Games (so far) have been played on the next pitch to the U18 match. Also, I think some second half U18 subs have played the first half for the U16s. I have wondered how much our youth teams have been affected b...

At 30, Jack Marriott really wouldn’t be a great piece of business for £500k and whatever wages he’d be on. What’s happened to us signing younger League One standard players with potential to develop? At the very least a Sam Smith-style signing where he still have three or so years at their peak left...

Only sounds like they’ve turned the speakers on in the East Stand this season. Otherwise can’t notice much of a difference around the ground.

I guess the police and H&S decision relates to this: https://www.swindontownfc.co.uk/news/2025/august/08/club-statement--nigel-eady-county-ground/ EDIT: It must do. Further work is required at Stratton Bank to ensure it can be opened, should demand necessitate its use. The following tasks have b...

There’s about 140 tickets remaining, so about 870 sold thus far.

This idea seems like a waste of wage bill to me. We have 4 specialist CBs plus Dorsett, and enough depth in FBs and midfield. Put his potential wages on a striker. They may be thinking it is a low cost/high reward signing as he was very highly rated before his injury. If he does sign, and no guaran...

Danny Namaso (Loader) joins AJ Auxerre on loan Saw he had been linked with a £10m move to Br$dy united? Was hoping we may get some sort of development fee (not looked at the rules) At £10m, we'd be due £300k (3%) should he move to a club from another country to Sporting - notwithstanding any agreem...

Great we have signed Williams as we needed another CB option. The one thing I don’t get is why we would sign Richie (assuming we are actually interested). He would be very expensive and would seem to be a luxury as we have a lot of right wing and right back options. I would much rather that we spen...

But also eight seasons in the Championship or League One, promoted from League One twice, once as champions. Not a bad pedigree. And if MLS is League One standard, how would League One defences have looked against the other teams in the CWC? He has had a lot of football in England, but if he's decl...

Lots of Atlanta fans seem pretty gutted by this move and it looks like he was highly rated which bodes well. A few mentioned he's lost his legs so I'm guessing that's an age and fitness related thing....however at 32 he should be ok for a few more years at least especially as a CB. Its looking like...

stealthpapes Good showing last night.

Haven't seen Clyde1998 in a while. Hope you're alright.

Thanks. I've been dealing with some personal issues, so haven't been able to be on here too often.

A bit surprised by this one.

Seems there's no transfer fee, but Atlanta have a future sell-on fee: https://www.atlutd.com/news/atlanta-uni ... ng-fc-2025

Just thinking about the squad and I think it's clear a lot of people's expectations are too high for this season from what I've seen and heard since the start of the season (especially on Twitter or on BBC Berks). When we compare to the close of the summer transfer window last season, we've lost Sa...

Would expect a team something like (depending on availability): Stevens Ahmed - Stickland - Burns - Garcia (Ryan) Sackey - Elliott - Spencer Camara - Ehibhatiomhan - Doyle Would play Dorsett and O'Connor at CB if either or both are available. Wouldn't be surprised if we played someone like Fraser or...
