I don’t get this. If we can’t get rid of players like AMB, Fraser and ness who helped us finish 16th last year despite bringing in better players ahead of them, limiting their game time, we will finish lower than when they were involved??golfaddick said:
So if we cant get rid of the old dross our hands are tied.Sage said:At the bottom of this article, NJ says Potts is still with us but had a big week in training, probably putting him through his paces, whilst Bishop is currently not training with us. We can’t sign anyone further until we trim the squad. I would assume both players will have contracts offered but we can’t continue until players like Fraser and Ness are off the books.

16th might be a good finish then.
i think that without moving on players and bolstering the squad further, our goals might not be achieved, but worse than last year which was the lowest of the low?2 -
People are allowed to be overly optimistic or pessimistic but it’s ridiculous on both parts .
each to their own but we all know I’m the one who calls it
right 75% of the time
completely wrong 26% of the time31 -
The squad is far too big. Outs are required first before the new ones are brought in.
The trouble there is who wants the ones Jones does not want. If they do go more than likely it will be at the end of August.McGrandles went early as a club was interested and wanted the deal done quick5 -
Its more to do with new manager wants a diff type of keeper Isted was a decent keeper but one as to go to being in the experienced one that Jones wantsgolfaddick said:
More waste.mart77 said:Isted departure confirmed to Burton.
How many more players is Scott going to be allowed to sign that will leave before their contracts are up. Churn after churn after churn.
The more I read tonight the worse it gets.3 -
The trouble is we pay big wages and when your looking for other league one and league two sides to take our players they are not going to get anywhere near what we pay .. Fraser being a prime example teams in the Scottish premier can’t match what we are paying him which is stopping any permanent deal ..shirty5 said:The squad is far too big.

I think we will do better than last year and finish at least 15th and prove we are making great steps forward.
Looking forward to being the one who called it 1st and proved the most right fan on here.
My mate thinks we should get automatic promotion and that anything else is failure. Jones hasn’t made the changes he thinks he should have and that allowing May to leave was wrong. He is looking to be the most right fan.
Could we both be right?3 -
what that says is the people running the club pay too much for very average players, who are badly scouted.RonnieMoore said:

Fraser justified that wage to start with though, nearly getting double figures in goals. The issue was his form dropped off a cliff and now we can't get rid of him fast enough5

Tough crowd!Gisappointed said:
I'd add Coventry, Watson, Jones and REG (if deemed a CB). None of these NJ picks but most surely on good money for L1.Athletico Charlton said:mart77 said:Isted departure confirmed to Burton.
Good news. A really poor signing by us. Seemed a nice chap so good luck to him but there are many, many better L1 keepers around.
Maybe Burton would like to take AMB, Fraser, Edun and Gillesphey too...
But yet to see why he bought Berry and Docherty.1 -
Can someone ITK tell me exactly what Andy Scott does at the club now? Is he identifying players and then NJ agreeing to them? If so, I’m a little worried that the man who hired Appleton still has too much Influence on our recruitment. The jury is out on his past signings. His philosophy of signing players from the leagues above, thinking they will boss League 1 does seem flawed. It also seems to be continuing this window. I can’t remember exactly, but wasn’t Powell’s promotion squad built from the best League 1 & 2 players?6

My resolution for the season ahead is to skip past his posts. I tried it yesterday and it works.

Anyway...assume no rumours...not even a rumour of a rumour...🤔3

Because we've lost out top goalscorer as well as our 2nd top goalscorer (even though he left in Jan) and who was also our best goal assister.......without either being adequately replaced.Todds_right_hook said:

But what do I know eh.11 -
It would be perfectly reasonable to call this out after 10 league games but after a few minutes in pre-season?Gisappointed said:
Are they capable players? I've seen both comfortable on the ball in tight places. Occasionally. Not today. No end product. Slide rule passes? Only back to defenders. Dribbling? Not in the locker of either. Dobson-like tackling? No way. Even NJ mantra of pressing? Yet to see it. Pace? Dont think so. Heading ability? They are short arses. Pratley like shithousery? No. Dictate a game? Send me a link.Yann897 said:
Docherty and Berry are very good players for this level and Iv seen glimpses of both so far to know they’ll turn out good for us, Coventry I’m not sold on yet though I’d try Taylor against Pompey.Gisappointed said:

Please although Berry had nearly half a season of a Premiership relegation year, why are they good midfielders?5 -
I "liked" this initially but removed it as, in the same way we shouldn't judge the new boys on a few minutes in pre season, we can't say that they are better players than Dobson (for us) until we've seen them in competitive action.Yann897 said:
You’re basing all that on a 70 minute pre season friendly. Iv seen both players play over the last few seasons and they’re better players than Dobson for a start.Gisappointed said:

We don't have a like for like replacement for Dobson and that is clearly by design, given the way Jones played him as a "number 8" and was obviously talking about his haring about the pitch making tackles as "the parts of his game that the fans like that I'm trying to coach out of him".
Will it work? Who knows but it will need pressing from the front and defenders that step up to help the midfield when needed.2 -

I didn’t follow any of the match yesterday because I was watching the U23s play. Only listened to Nathan Jones interview and just IMO, if that was a league performance I would be expecting Anderson & Kanu both to start the next game because they give the required levels of aggression that Jones likes.
Cant read to much into a friendly,
especially from the outside it looks difficult to confidently name the starting 11 v Wigan.

We have recently beaten a top flight Turkish side and drew with a decent palace side. Crying about a preseason loss is pathetic. Means nothing. Seem to remember us winning most if not all of our preseason games a couple of years ago and we were shit for the season.23

Well if you go by what they’ve all achieved over the past 4/5 seasons then that would suggest they’re better more accomplished players than Dobson who I wasn’t really a fan of.crookester said:

Which Matt Smith? One of the ones we've had before, or another one?Henry Irving said:

Surely not the big striker Matt Smith? He was last at Salford. Either of the midfield Matt Smiths would make more sense - think the Man City one is up in Scotland and the Arsenal one is now at Wigan.0

It’s our ex player Michael Smith. Big target man, plenty of experience. Powell brought him here as a youngster.https://x.com/real_swfc_media/status/1817487195076169894?s=46&t=A-w3Eq0EWWpjMxring904Q
Can’t see us signing another striker, especially with Dixon expected to join.2 -

I had forgotten about him. Thanks for reminding me
