Re: The Academy/Development squads watch thread 2024/25

Abraham Kanu appears to be smashing it with Forest Green in the National League, does he get a contract extension and a shot with the first team next season? Believe he is OOC this Summer. He's probably worth another year and certainly worth a serious assessment by the club. I think he's twenty-one...

Re: Ex Royals (No not prince Andrew)

AthleticoSpizz …and elsewhere, L1 top scoring Dom Ballard ups his tally (if only we’d had another go at him during/following our sh1tty Dai’s)

He's going to score next week, isn't he?

Thing is, while he's doing well, the team really isn't, a bit like Wareham.

Re: Rival Watch

Tbf, last year Stockport lost Louie Barry in January and it didn't slow them down. Huddersfield are a good team and I still expect them to be up there.

Re: Ricardo Santos

Bolton and Swansea fans really don't appear to have a very high opinion of him. However, the Pompey lot seemed to really rate Paddy Lame so............. Bolton fans said he had 4 great years, then a mixture of illness and injury in his final year which meant he didn't feature much and looked awful ...

Re: Ricardo Santos

Makes sense. Sense Stickland on loan, leaves us with 4 solid CBs. But he would be 4th choice. Burns has been excellent for the past 3 games, O'Connor is finding form and Williams has been one of our best players.

Perhaps Williams' injury is a bad one.

Re: Rumour: Tom Pearce

Looks like he's only had one season playing semi regularly (and even that was <30 league appearances). Plus he hasn't played since August. So definitely question marks.

Rosenior given 6 year deal at Chelsea, which will mean a very big pay off in November.

Re: MATCHWATCH : Stockport County (h)

Definitely an advantage not to have it postponed today and get the win under our belts. It provides rivals games in hand, but we avoid fixture congestion.

Re: Half season review

In summary, we started poorly, the owners got rid of the manager and under the new manager, the team have improved and are on an upward trajectory. Conclussion? The owners made the right call in replacing Noel with Leam. Actually what the data shows is when Williams and POC came into the team. Stat...

Re: January shopping list

I kind of agree with a mish mash of everyone's thoughts. Building a strong team who can win the league and then step up to the Championship is better than fluking our way out through the play-offs this year. But I also agree every window is an opportunity to build it, not just the summer. January is...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Stockport County (h)

Tough game. Our players will be shattered. I'll consider a draw a decent result. :| Agree it'll be tough, but will Stockport not be tired from the festive schedule too? This is our second consecutive home game and we beat Burton in 2nd gear. If we lose it'll be because Stockport are better; tiredne...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Burton Albion (h)

Re: You can’t say I didn’t warn you!

There's some players of good value in there, but we're talking about Olise level, so that's him and Sigurdsson. Olise was seasons ago now, where's the next one for multi-millions? Even Sigurdsson some way short of Olise. Peaked at Spurs and Everton, compared with being a key player for Munich and F...

Re: You can’t say I didn’t warn you!

In the Championship they came along about 1 in 10 years, let alone L1, so completely agree. Where's our next big money Academy sale? Garcia? Struggling to make the bench, no one else is even close. Borgnis? Osho? Spencer? Not likely. Olise 21/22 £9m +£9m Tshibola 16/17 £5m Hector 15/16 £5m Alex McC...
