Harry Pickering (LB) Blackburn

We're interested. 27 out of favour, Championship experience. Doesn't look the worst, and a realistic option.

Re: a RB and a LB signings imminent

Brogue
blythspartan That chap from the Chronicle who only yesterday dismissed Brogue’s post is trying to claim the glory for knowing about Nyambe. :D


I’m glad you spotted that too! The guy is a tool


His behaviour on X is ridiculous. Assume you saw his lengthy 'victim' post yesterday?

250 goals

Our "new" forward line have scored nearly 250 career goals between them. This is a serious push for the play offs....dare we become just a little bit excited?

The worst performance since........

Well, that was just awful. It got me thinking....having watched us since the late 80s, last night was the worst performance I can remember since: Bury away. Lew Chatterley was our manager. We lost 5 (I think) and super Trevor Senior missed a sitter towards the end. The travelling support jeered, and...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Northampton Town (h)

Interesting to see 3 of the 4 loans on the bench and the one who played easily replaceable by other options. I liked the front line probably for the first time this season. Kelvin has his faults of course but I don’t think we can leave him out. With Kyeweera prob playing himself out the side and Ri...

Striker STILL urgently required - can we wait until January?

I think we are almost criminally short up front. Kelvin doesn't look any more like scoring than MOM does. Hardly at all. Okine-Peters is miles away from the first team squad. That leaves us with Jack, great start - but he has a bit of a habit of doing this, and then for whatever reason, it comes apa...

After a fairly lengthy period of fitness, pre-season with Pompey, and then looking head and shoulders above with us at 21 level. Really feel for the guy.

Re: Rumour - Gareth Ainsworth

I assume that if it ever comes to having to negotiate compensation with a club whose manager you’ve just poached, it probably doesn’t help your case if you’ve gone on record several months earlier with your plan to do it. And whatever names Couhig had in mind in the summer doesn’t mean any of them ...

Re: Speculationish Tyler Robert’s and Jack Marriott

It's claimed his wages are circa 6k per week, which would probably fit our model. It's been a while since he scored regularly though - I'm not sure Wrexham would get 500k. Could do a lot worse, but I'm afraid I'm not particularly excited.

We are interested in Hiram Boetang

Under 24 so some compensation payable. IMO a bit inconsistent, but capable of these sort of moments. A number of clubs interested and we are one.

We are closing to raiding Swansea's reserves for winger Dyer. Fee of about £350,000. Player in advanced talks. We have also scouted Exeter City's Jayden Stockley a few times. They spent 100k of the incoming Watkins to Brentford money, and will want a healthy return. Norwich and Birmingham also inter...

Brayson must be past 250 goals now, and earns more than a lot of L2 players do. He played for England C, Cardiff, Cheltenham and York. He is a non league legend in the NE and actually parks arses on seats. And the ball hit the inside of the post V Forest and trickled along the line. My then wife cri...
