Could have done with name guidance 30 years ago, so that we could have pronounced Kinsella correctly! KINsella rather than kinSELLA apparently, though his daughter seems to be pronounced the second way, so maybe he's gone with the flow.
Yep, us Brits pronounce most Irish names incorrectly tbf. Definitely KINsella & COSTello. Don’t get started on O’Mahoney lol
On the SLP pod Cawley confirms we had interest in Jensen and Sinsalo
and that he thinks we'll get a GK in before the end of the window
Id fucking hope so, I actually can't think of a time where we have gone this late into the window without settled keepers. Traditionally a position we do well in!
2018/19: Jed Steer signed 8th August
2011/12: Ben Hamer signed 1st August
We are later than both of those now but the last two times we’ve been promoted out of this league, the presumed first choice goalkeeper wasn’t signed until the eve of the season was upon us.

Get used to AMB and Mannion...cos that's all we are gonna end up with at this rate, at least till January's window...🙄
There's literally so much time left in the window FFS.
You keep peddling this trope
I have to admit that I read the final word as "tripe" rather than "trope", but then thought there wouldn't be much difference between the message and its force.

I'm getting the impression from what they write, there's quite a few posters who still think you pick your strongest team to start the game; the the also-rans and kids to make up the numbers on the bench.
That way, the quality of the team declined as subs came on.
It's a full-on Matchday 18 involvement these days...... and the 5 subs likely to come on need to be of the same quality as the starting XI.
The team that finishes the game needs to be as strong as the starting XI.
Agree totally, seems managers call them finishers these days rather than subs, which backs up your comment
Just to add a comment or two about Teddy Bishop, now he has safely found a club.
Without question, a fully fit Teddy Bishop is a Championship player. He had a series of injuries at Ipswich which meant he found his way to Lincoln - without those injuries, Lincoln would not have been able to sign a player of that quality. However, the injuries continued to come, and he never seemed fully fit. When he was fit and playing well, he was very good, but unfortunately that was a rarity.
He ended his Lincoln career as the most substituted player in the club's history (59 times from 79 starts). He started and completed just 9 games in the last two seasons (2 in 2022-23, 7 in 23-24), and sadly that is a luxury Lincoln cannot afford.
If Colchester can get him fit, he will tear League Two to shreds and possibly earn a move back up the divisions. And therein lies the rub with Teddy: if.

My wife's Irish cousins call themselves KinSELLA, so no wonder there is confusion.
Chelsea set to sign 19 y/o GK Mike Penders from Gent, making it a total of eight goalkeepers with senior appearances on their books.
8 keepers at the club plus 2 out on loan already (1 in League One and 1 in League 2). Madness
Farcical.☹️
What’s farcical is that they can afford that model and ultimately make money on it. Far too much money sloshing around that they can spunk what’s effectively millions in player acquisitions that they are in full knowledge will never get near the first team squad.
I’m not sure I fully support all this slagging off AMB/Isted even with the accompanied stats of goals conceded. What about how many shots they saved and how many goals conceded were defensive errors or unstoppable?
I’m hoping that the our new defence will give the opposition less scoring chances and less errors in their duties.
If there is a vast improvement then I could play in goal and the stats would show how brilliant I was and I’ll get a call up from Carsley to play in the over 60’s walk football 🤓

A bit disingenuous regarding Steer. How many league games did Steer play that season. Pretty sure Phillips played virtually all of them. In the case of this season we don't have a 'keeper that the manager rates as his No1.

He played 19 games and was 1st choice until he got recalled from his loan. So its not Callum being disingenuous or remembering wrong....

Played 19 league games between August and December before being recalled at start of the January window. If he hadn't been recalled I doubt Phillips would have played much.

Last point here is key. Jones had last season and this pre season to look at AMB and Isted and has been completely honest in letting everyone know he wants a new number one. Not only that. He’s brought in Mannion who will occupy the number two slot. Couldn’t be more obvious that Jones really doesn’t rate either of our two GK’s we had last season.

Yep, it can depend where in Ireland you are. Saoirse is a case in point. My Cavan family pronounce it slightly different to my neighbours here in Cork. It should be Sear-sha. An accent thing.

Yep it was Steer’s replacement (Maxwell?) who didn’t play.
We also didn’t have a proper number 10 despite playing a diamond all season. We had Jamie Ward on loan who never nailed down that spot, signed Williams in January who didn’t score and barely got an assist all season who rotated a bit. Aribo sometimes played there and no doubt others at times who I’ve forgotten.
Shows you don’t need everything to go perfectly to have a good season.
Just to add a comment or two about Teddy Bishop, now he has safely found a club.
Without question, a fully fit Teddy Bishop is a Championship player. He had a series of injuries at Ipswich which meant he found his way to Lincoln - without those injuries, Lincoln would not have been able to sign a player of that quality. However, the injuries continued to come, and he never seemed fully fit. When he was fit and playing well, he was very good, but unfortunately that was a rarity.
He ended his Lincoln career as the most substituted player in the club's history (59 times from 79 starts). He started and completed just 9 games in the last two seasons (2 in 2022-23, 7 in 23-24), and sadly that is a luxury Lincoln cannot afford.
If Colchester can get him fit, he will tear League Two to shreds and possibly earn a move back up the divisions. And therein lies the rub with Teddy: if.
