Re: MATCHWATCH : Cheltenham Town (a)

So I think that means the players who have made their debut for us but aren't qualifying are CBC, Norcott, Stickland, Kanu, Abrefa, Senga, Sackey, Osho, Akande, and Tuma.

I'm pretty sure Kanu is injured, so it would be very difficult for us to not pick an eligible squad.

Re: MATCHWATCH : Fleetwood Town (h)

Hope St Louis gets on. He came on against Monaco, I struggled to differentiate him from Bowdrey and McMillan who came on at the same point but I think he was on the left wing and did a couple of good things. He might have been the left back though. Rushesha isn't going to break into our team in midf...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Fleetwood Town (h)

Can someone smarter than me let me know about the rules for the Bristol Motors cup? I believe there’s a rule that you have to play a certain amount of players from your previous game in the next trophy game. Does this include previous league game or will Saturdays FA Cup game count ? Whatever the a...

Re: FA Youth Cup 2024/25

The morning after does little to erase what happened last evening. Spurred on by a good size vocal crowd AFC Dunstable were fully deserving of their ‘ giant killing ‘ tag. For the Royals Bowdery was MoM and i thought the tall defenders Dove and Duah were decent also. We also were not able to play o...

Re: FA Youth Cup 2024/25

Awful result. Didn't watch so can't comment on the performance. Dunstable are in the Southern Division One Central, i.e. the eighth tier. I'd got it into my head that we lost to eighth-tier Royston Town once but I think I'm getting confused, as far as I can tell we lost to Arsenal when we would have...

stealthpapes An in-form, on-song Louis Barry is a cheat code at this level.

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

How under strength is our academy though? The best ones are in the first team or got sold to fund the club. Maybe we were outclassed tonight, but the fact we've beaten the likes of Ajax and Spurs recently shows the depth of talent in the academy. The odd result like this is nothing to be ashamed of...

Yeah that’s what I was getting at. It’s odd. He was generally hard working and respectful, just a bit shit at his job.

Don’t get me wrong, he was pretty useless as a manager.

Re: You're the new Owner - What's your 2 Year Plan for Success

I would demand that the club be financially self-sufficient on day-to-day spending within three years. This would be more important than results. We would try to recruit intelligently, primarily signing players who we expect to improve quickly and sell for a considerable profit in 2-3 years. We woul...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Exeter City (a)

Smith maybe carrying a bug or seeming fatigued in training or something? Can't imagine it's form related.

Hope Kelvin is wide to act as a sort of Meite type with Wareham waddling through the middle. Kelvin is a more natural target but I also think Wareham's pretty useless outside the box.

Re: Elm Park vs SCL - Two Magic Wishes - Meaningless Mindgame Fun

My brief memories of Elm Park are not pleasant. I was too young to be nostalgic for it. There are lots of ways I'd like the Madejski to be better, agree with the consensus that it would be better in a central location with pubs, restaurants, and above all the train station within easy walking distan...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Crawley Town (h)

Against Crawley I wouldn’t risk Perreira, I'd give him a youth game run out for a half at least first. I think Button has been playing well and been let down by those in front of him for the goals. Though Pereira should move back into poll position quickly. Crawley aren't exactly the biggest threat...

Re: Ex Players

Injuries and the disastrous loan to Dundee which knocked his confidence both seem to have played a role. It also didn't help that he played in the same role as Norwood, who was probably the best midfielder in the league, and his skillset made him pretty much completely unsuitable for any other role....

Re: CONFRIMED: Latest rumours Confrimed as Unconfrimed

Issue with town centre is it is so heavy penned in. If you look at the IDR, it basically creates a wall/border around a densely populated area. Even just outside this and you are met with residential/office areas or road networks which can't be moved. On top of the Broad Street Mall car park would ...
