Re: MATCHWATCH : Barnsley (h)

I'm not sure how Marriott didn’t put that in, great from Roberts backing him up.

Really good build up play.

Re: MATCHWATCH : Barnsley (h)

Only 2 from the Academy in the squad today. Dorsett and Steven’s. When was the last time we had so few in a match day squad? When was the last time we only had 1 in the starting lineup This is what happens when you sign about 20 senior players... no Academy pathway, something that had been our savi...

Roberts straight in- Burns on bench Lane starts in place of Ritchie https://pbs.twimg.com/media/G_bs0CjWEAAoR1d?format=jpg&name=small Ahmed and Stickland are the other two that have been dropped. Glad to see Lane in over Ritchie. Far more mobile and able to press, beat a man. Hope he's fit and ...

Re: Charlie Savage to Oxford

morganb Oxford United have dropped their interest in Charlie Savage and won’t be making a fresh bid at this stage as the Royals asking price is £1.5m.

Re: Rumour - Ronan Hale (striker)

Maybe another forward isn't so far fetched! he prefers a 3-5-2 formation or so we're told and has used it in the past with a fair amount of success. He's just strengthened our FB's allowing Dorsett to move back as cover for the back three. Having two starting forwards means probably 4 forwards on t...

Re: Haydon Robert’s - Confimred

I've been advised this was likely a 'nominal fee' with a large sell on percentage. That would make it a fairly low risk signing, assuming his wages are within a viable limit, although could lead to a similar situation to Savage and Elliott when it comes to potentially selling him in the future. Fro...

Re: One more in.

Hendo
Stranded Easy enough. we just don't pick MOM.


Especially with Keane coming in.

Otherwise, I'm sure there is a decent chance a loan player would pick up an injury eventually.

I really don't understand why MOM is still here. He adds absolutely nothing, and we've brought in someone better.

Re: Ryan Nyambe - Confimred

What if he's better than Abrefa and Ahmed and we send those two out on loan ? He's only on loan, we're not going down, so better to develop our own players than someone else's. I doubt very much he is sugnificantly better. Even if we send Abrefa and Ahmed on loan, we still had Yiadom, Rinomhota, Ri...

Re: Ryan Nyambe - Confimred

We've sent a lot of players out on loan this season, which is something we haven't done for years. When players hit 19/20, they really need to be given first team opportunities to keep developing; too many of our young players have stagnated in the U21s. If this guy coming in allows for Ahmed (at t...

We already knew the wages were too high after Premier League relegation, but it's still surprising when you hear what certain individuals made relative to their contribution.
