Re: Selles out

I asked this with Ince as well - but what's the point in sacking the manager when our recruitment process is such a shambles? It's like putting your hand in a bag of shit, pulling out some shit and then saying 'lets try again'. The team we have are not a bottom 4 League 1 side. It is poor tactics m...

Re: Selles out

“We quickly need to learn how to play” - Selles Yeah. You’ve only had the entire preseason and almost a quarter of a season. It might be a good idea to start figuring it out about now eh? Perhaps there's no answer. At the current time simply not good enough. Expecting a bunch of kids to be competit...

Re: Selles out

As much as I'd like Selles given time we deserve so much better than the shit served up so far. We should be doing better. Hopefully it's just taking longer for the team to gel given the huge turnover of players and them getting used to the system. But right now it feels like if we don't score earl...

Re: BTFG Cambridge

Amazed that no one has picked up on the Cambridge manager's probable reaction when seeing the Reading team sheet an hour before kick off: "They've benched the big guy up front, put that creative kid from Chelsea in. They're coming at us with quick lads up top. Wanna play balls through us. Stop ...

Re: Selles out

I think it's utterly bonkers to even contemplate sacking the manager just six games into a season with a totally rebuilt, relatively inexperienced squad. Rebuilt, I might add, against a backdrop of League embargoes, points deductions, and bugger all money available to the manger for transfer fees. W...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Cambridge United (a)

Need strikers fit. Vickers and Azeez were not suited - a couple of decent balls in where nobody was attacking it. Ballard, Kelvin E and Smith will help us improve. Selles set the team up wrong from the start. Two shortish inexperienced players up against Morro and the other Cambridge bloke were nev...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Cambridge United (a)

Game over We all watched the transition in the England team in the late 80's. No big CF "up top" Played it to the feet of Lineker and Beardsley. We played for 60 minutes without one, yet were putting crosses in the air for Azeez, etc. to try and win. Beginning to worry. Young enthusiastic...

Re: Ex Players

Funnily enough, I was thinking about a Freight Rover Trophy hammering we Aldershot the other day and musing how we scored some worldies in that game. I was convinced I must have made it up as it was the Branfoot era and we played some absolutely dire hoofball until I saw a video the other day and M...

Re: BFTG Stevenage

I'm just loving the general direction of travel of the club. It seems like almost for decades now we've been recruiting established pro's for biggish fees on largish wages, who have flaws in their game, or are injury-prone, and someone at the club has at last clicked on that this approach has not wo...

Re: Where does Carroll rank in worst ever signings?

Greg Halford. ^^^^ We have a winner. Wins by 1 1/2 lengths ahead of another, at the time record signing, Steve Moran. Hardly played sure, but hard to argue it's our worst ever signing when we made £1 million on a player that was with us for 6 months? The fee we received was down to the fact we had ...

Re: Where does Carroll rank in worst ever signings?

Yeh Howie was the other but I could have said 6. Not the best keeper but did a job for us for a few years. And of course Brayson is the correct answer to who is our worst ever signing . Nah Oillie Kearns was dreadful, may have scored a few but missed far more chances, the Goat likewise. Greg Halfor...

Re: Tyler Bindon confirmed

Excellent news. Getting in low-risk young hungry aspirational players like this is the only route to sustainability for a club of our size and stature at this particular point in time. The sprinkling of experienced pro's here will help these kind of lads on their journey. It looks to me as though th...

Re: We need a goalkeeper this week.

look at teams like Coventry and Luton in recent seasons. Haven't needed to break the bank to get promotion winning teams together. So, while money should help, it still needs a proper plan and a good manager/coach to get the best out of the resources you have. Quite. BMac never moaned about lack of...

Re: Summer 2023 Transfer Speculation

Need to be looking at a CB if/when this debt is paid. Holmes and McIntyre, collectively are too easy to play against. Not dominating or physically imposing enough. How many times do we concede from crosses (a problem dating back for a while now). Simply put, they don't keep clean sheets. You can't ...

Re: “ Sell before we Dai “ supporters action group v2.2

I've been giving this some thought. We can only guess how the playing staff and UK management are feeling right now, wondering if they will get paid, or even have a job in a few weeks. The best, and most constructive thing the fan base can do is actually practice what you preach. The most powerful ...
