    Millwall are looking strong.


    looks like my money's safe then - I've got a £20 bet with Henry Irving that they finish above us this season - money to go to upbeats or Bromley CSC favoured charity.

    Hope u lose then

    Who said I was pulling out? Certainly not me

    Just that I don't remember Golfie accepting the bet then but is now bragging about it.

    Bailey is a mediocre signing. None of their signings are enough to propel them above us imo and with a new manager that has to impress their mob fans, how anyone can say they are 'looking strong' is beyond me.

    Agreed. They are improving on what they already have so should push themselves up into a more comfortable mid-table position but I wouldn't be particularly excited had we signed any of the players they have signed. Maybe Morrison.

    To be honest though, all I care about is that the club is still in existence and in the Championship in 2014/15. I'm sure it will be, but I'm not setting my hopes beyond that and I don't really care who finishes above or below us right now.

    Hulse was alright with us. Experienced pro but he's not the answer. We'd still need Obika or Coulibaly as well.

    I would rather see piggot and smith than hulse, utter rubbish imo.

    I liked Hulse. I'd sign him on for a year.

    I'd be disappointed if we did sign Hulse. I'd rather we used the money we'd spend on his wages on keeping Danny Haynes, even if Haynes only played ten games this season I think he would score and create more goals than Hulse would all season.

    If we still had Haynes I'd be quite happy with the idea of Hulse, together Haynes seemed to thrive off of him.

    Hulse with Kermo though? Nahhhh.
    This is my point. Hulse with someone like Obika....although Yann will be first choice.

    We'd still need another forward. Hulse wouldn't be my first choice either but he's worth a go.

    Yeah, I think I recall someone saying that Yann preferred Obika as his strike partner too. Not sure if he said it POTY; I'm sure someone will be a long to correct me in no time!

    Hulse + Obika could probably work quite well, although hasn't Coulibaly's style of play been compared to Haynes'? As you say though, I can't see Hulse ever dislodging Yann.

    Yet there was a period last season when people were suggesting Hulse & Haynes should be our first choice front pair.

    Hulse would a be a solid free transfer as long as the wages are sensible. He'd offer steady cover for Yann and has a decent scoring and injury record, we could do a lot worse.

    Lets remember we went down with Bailey. Good player but since being at Boro he has been playing a different role. Who knows how he turns out this year.

    I completely disagree.

    IF we are going 3-5-2 then you've got Solly and wiggy with Wilson and Harriot covering the sides. The biggest problem we have is ball retention - that's what Gower is all about. Give and go - pass and move.

    The last thing we need is Bailey trying his Hollywood passes and theatricals. We have a togetherness in our team and it seems SCP wants to maintain posession - Wood apparently is calm on the ball. And we need more leaders (Wood is very vocal). Hughes is very vocal too. Bailey - when the going gets tough - drops his shoulders and gets stroppy.

    Where would you have Wilson in a 3-5-2??

    wiggy and solly wingbacks then gower or hughes pritch and Jackson no room for Wilson. Bailey is leagues above Stephens, Hollands and Wilson.

    In a 352 Wilson can at right wingback if needed.
    Realistically wel'l play 442 so he's good as a RM backup

    Wilson can also play the holding role though properly lost his way last season. Box to box midfielders are quite rare. As decent as Bailey was he's not the answer for the reasons I've mentioned

    Hollands and Stephens are league 1 imo no higher, hollands couldn't cut it in championship last year so anyone that thinks he will this year is clutching at straws.

    Anyway it was a figure of speech not literal obv Bailey is not champions league quality but he imo is better than what we have got but probly costs more than we pay.

    You should put a £ or two on that then. You will get very good odds!
