Doing the work i couldn't be bothered to do. I was at the Vale game as well :lol: Piece of piss to look him up on Soccerbase. He looks like his confidence is shot, and as you say, no standout attributes. He's leathered a few good shots, but none of them have really got that close to going in betwee...

Had completely forgotten about a particular striker who came to us for good money with a decent record, but struggled to find real form. Only remembered him when I saw his signature on a shirt. Carl Asaba.

East Grinstead Royal After Marriott scored, I was hoping Lane would get one so I could say it’s been their best performance since Itchycoo Park.

Hobnob gold award for banter excellence.

I don't think it's wise to change how you play and a player's role just because Wellens has targeted Wing in the past. In fact, I would say moving Wing higher does precisely nothing to stop Wellens setting up to man mark him, it just puts him somewhere he has even less space. Hunt will certainly ne...

The other angle - that Selles made HUGE changes in his formations etc - that also doesn't hold up. I posted the interview where he literally states that he kept the same overall vision and tightened up in a few key areas. That also accompanied the squad 'changes' - Hutchison rendering himself perso...

Of course. But we're seven games in, not 15. We are 10 games in mid Oct with the next international break. That's how long I give Hunt with winnable home games coming up. Winnable? Reading haven’t beaten Orient anywhere yet since relegation! Last season Orient had lost 4 in a row and were without a...

Under Selles even when we were shite there were games where performances weren't too bad like Posh at home, Cheltenham at home, away to Shrewsbury, Exeter away etc Ruben gave up on his tactical vision in order to get results. He adopted a formation and plan that suited the players we had at the tim...

Was always going to take time for a largely completely new squad to gel, especially as the majority came towards the end of the window. Thought we were weak at the corner for the first, Williams being left to mark two players and were caught ball watching for the second. Marriott looks good up to u...

Orient is a must win game for Noel especially as its followed by Stockport away!! Our record against strong teams isn't good. There's already a points gap building just above us in 17th place, lose the next two and it's not looking great! If we become stranded i really cannot see the owner's not pu...

It’s stronger than 5 points from 21, 1 win in 7 and 21st in the league. I don’t give a shit about the playoffs. I never thought we’d be close to em. But we are genuinely in a relegation battle with a top half team. That’s on the manager. It also doesn’t help that we’ve been dog shit in every game w...

Hunt in Think it’s been said on here before but I feel like it’s going to be a bit of a Selles first season start for us this year. (Hopefully not as bad) but I’m sure we will come out of it a stronger side. Paudie is clearly a big miss for us at the moment. We have a new defence and a new front 3 ...

Double post apologies. .

Sutekh Can we have a thread for Hunt to shake it all about?

Nice

Depends on the grade of tear. Grade 3 could well be six months if he requires surgery. Normally a month or two if it is partial tear.

I am normally a bit more confident against a team that wants to get the ball down and play. Especially when they have been made favourites to win. I will go, Lane on the left, Kyerewaa on the right and a 2:1 win for the Royals.

A player who is entering the last year to eighteen months of his contract is owned by his agent not any club. The agent will start pimping him out to the highest bidder as they make large amounts of money from not only a percentage of their wage, but also in a more lucrative signing on bonus. It oft...

This is silly. What exactly are the FL trying to achieve here, is it a meaningful exercise, with ramifications, or just some random bollox they’ve dreamed up to create a job for someone? Clubs are asked to name squads of 25 players but should not include goalkeepers, neither should any player under...

The thread and its existence is a product of the reality we are in. There are those who believe that changing a manager will achieve some sort of positive impact on results. This would only happen if the manager has lost the dressing room and the players are either bickering with each other or not p...

Does anyone know who the other co CEO is? I see and hear a lot from Jacobson. I understood the organogram as: Couhig is chairman and CEO and JJ is co-CEO. Think it was in a RC interview, but not very clear to be fair... Couhig and Joe are the co-CEOs. This was decided on so that there is authority ...
