    I wonder if there’s anything in Sam Nombe being on the bench against Portsmouth?

    Unfortunately I don’t think there is much in this other than just resting him for the first half 
    Exeter fans are saying he had his head turned and as not look interested .. same with Collins last night another looked half the player we seen before and not the player we were quoted 2 mill for few months back

    Following last night, time to show your money lads!
    If Fraser and Leaburn was fit last night we would have won that easily.. and most likely got something at Peterbro .. as I said we are going toe to toe with championship teams for players as Andy Scott says the players have options not free transfers who don’t have options 
    We all can read Holden's comments, but thanks as always for regurgitating stuff you have heard/read as your own info.
  • The lack of quality in depth, is more than apparent, 2 defeats in 3 matches , is a really poor start to the season.

    We’ve had radio silence for the last 2 weeks (could argue as good or bad) but we do need to get a move on with bringing some good players in, otherwise we’ll be so far out of touch, before the season has got going.

    The issue is when they are not fit, they are both going to miss 10-15 games a season, and if we can win when they are not playing, we are in big trouble.

    I know we are fishing for better than normal, and will take time, and I believe they will get it right, but doesn't stop fans getting frustrated.

    Annoying, we have been the better side last 2 games, and come away with nothing. 
  • Kirk and McGrandles on the bench last night out of necessity. No surprise that they were unused.
    I wonder if we are delaying their moves while we get a couple back, or a new signing.

    My guess is we’re trying to maximise what we get for them and eventually we might have to accept loan offers in which we pay the majority of their wages. If those are the only offers at the moment it’s no surprise they’re still here.

    We moved Wollacott, Lavelle and Egbo on permanently and are probably trying to do the same with those two and DJ.

    My feeling is that if they are moving on we won't risk an injury to them if at all possible. Wouldn't be surprised if McGrandles went back to Cambridge on a permanent, as for Kirk, he'll be loaned out simply because his wage is too high at this level for any club to offer an equivalent deal.

    I think she’s been a bit busy recently Golfie, with that Barbie movie.

    Very good interview with Andy Scott.. Clearly looking to go toe to toe with championship clubs for the players we want. 
    We hear that shite every year Ronnie
    In case you missed it, that is just a wind up merchant account. Not a serious poster. Best to just ignore
  • Feels like probably 5 signings needed , I know obviously this won't quite be balanced with the same amount of players leaving. Probably 2 PL loans and the rest on permanents hopefully! Just think we badly need some creativity. 
  • and a RB :)

    The supporters of the clubs they join have my sympathy.
  • So someone earlier claimed the SMT are trying to shift £20k of salary a week before we can add to the squad. Probs £17k now Egbo has gone. That’s a lot of players to realise that. It would be all of Payne, Kirk, DJ (injured so won’t happen) and McGrandles and you still wouldn’t be near that figure, as we’ll have to loan some of them and we’d still be paying a percentage of their wages. If we could shift them all that’s possibly two players that come in not the 4 or 5 we need. Time to get real, do we really think adding two players to this squad will make us top six?

    Well that’s not going to happen, if that SMT quote is true. Two at most.

    Who do you think we are? Chelsea?
  • So if we have to pay most of the wages for players like Kirk, then we may as well agree to cancel his contract.  Leaving him of little value to the club at the end of the season.
