  • I don't see anything wrong with that either but I don't know whether the new manager will be a success and I don't know the players we have brought in. Don't take it as a negative, he could well be a great success but I am waiting for some signs that's all. A good pre-season will help.

    Don’t know what thread to put it on really but Sean Clare drove past me this morning with Egbo in the passenger seat. 
    Were you on the m4 heading west? 😉

    Reed and Mckirdy are obvious ones Garner may want...
    Maybe, but Swindon are wanting a bigger fee than we are willing.. Basically we are bank rolling Swindon this year!!
    If not now maybe January then
  • I think if you subjectively watch all our games from last season again (I don't know why you would, if you weren't emotionally disturbed when you started, you would be by the end) how many of our current players would you pick to be in the team next season?

    Based purely on what you saw.  3?  Maybe 4?

    Then you have probably got 3 or 4 that you don't see enough of like JFC, Fraser and potentially Clare at RB.

    Then watch all of Swindon’s games and see how many you think could make the step up.  It's probably 5 or 6.

    Of course we probably won't sign half a dozen players from Swindon.  But we need a lot of different, not necessarily better, players to make this work.

    We are going to have to move on more than a couple to make the room.  I would guess at at least 5 outs, maybe more.
  • I am also starting to feel sorry for Swindon. Perhaps we could offer them a few of our unwanted players in exchange and form a "special relationship" with them - McGoalie, Davidson, Gilbey - to name but three?
  • I'm only tuning in for the Lou Reed jokes 
    We just keep you hanging on!

    Was Stephen Kelly in the back seat?

    There is a historic precedent for swaps with Swindon Ray Treacy was exchanged for Arthur Horsfield in 1972.

    Very solid CB.

    Good player but our injury prone centre back spot is already filled. Doubt we are in for him 
  • The only defenders left to sign are a left-back and maybe a ball-playing LCB, don't think Dunkley fits that brief 
  • We should have released Inniss and signed Dunkley. But I don’t think it’s a good idea to have both as it’s quite likely they’d both be injured at the same time 
  • Not sure where to put this, but the usual characters on twitter have been talking about Thomas not paying the rent for the last three months. 

    It was to be expected, everything  around the club has been positive lately so they were bound to make something up. 
    So we pay compensation to Swindon for two members of their team we bring 3 new players in and more to follow .. and we paid off JJ and Euell yet we not paid rent for 3 months …… why don’t people just enjoy the positive feel around the club instead of trying to cause ripples that are just not there 

    Very well said that. It's becoming unbearable and very toxic, I can't but help feel very optimistic and excited. Will it work don't know? But what we needed was a clean slate and we will pretty much have that come Accrington

    Would take that, shame we kept Innis cause then it would be a very keen yes. Seems a risk having two centre backs with injury issues

    Can we sign some players from L1 or above for fees soon to end this idea on social media that TS can only afford L2 players.
    There will be another conspiracy, as soon as he does. 
    Didn't take long, less than 12 hours later he's not paying the bills.

    Without wanting to dismiss it, can anyone tell me what the Football League World's forecasts  for us have amounted to so far this close season?

    Have we forgotten the prodigious talent that is Mr Jacob Roddy?

    But more probably the LB might be up as a loanee as we probably want to strengthen the midfield (in terms of goals if nothing else) and replace Washington too.

    Very good player but not exactly a ball playing centre back if that's what we're after.  
  • In a lot of ways it makes sense but in even more it doesn't.  Would give us the physical domination in both boxes we lack when Inniss is,  permanently, injured.

    This is quite a nice read https://www.thestar.co.uk/sport/football/sheffield-wednesday/farewell-sergeant-chey-dunkley-the-right-man-at-the-wrong-time-for-sheffield-wednesday-3703688
  • If we are playing a high press we will also have a high line. We need our last centre back signing to be quick (and ideally left footed). Otherwise I think we will be hit on the counter a lot next season

    Needs to be two left backs unless we have someone ready to step up from the academy.

    [Copied from the Wollacott thread]

    Potentially another very good signing. I’m not too bothered about the L2 thing, although of course only time will tell how they turn out. 
    I might start getting worried if too many more of the rest of our signings come from the lower leagues however.

    We have 2 fit centre backs, not including Innis. Another x2 CB's needed. 
  • How many Goalkeepers will be going to spain ?
