Sorry I didn’t make myself clear enough, the 6 or so to go out on loan are to make room for the 3 or 4 still needed to strengthen the matchday squad. Possibly those 3 triallists plus a keeper and we’ll be OK.

[cassidystash]

We also need to get 6 or so out on loan. With no U23s some of the youngsters will struggle to get game time and at least one of the more senior players is unlikely to get anywhere near match day.

[cassidystash]

Presumably somebody from Cool Silk should have cleaned the seats, not the clubs job now surely.

Didn’t they both play against Barton?

[cassidystash]

Gives us a chance to develop a youngster with a 2 year deal, good idea.

” The club survey was a connection with the club, the fans panel is a connection with the club” – only if the Club act on the results.

“the cheap and free buses were a connection with the club” – absolutely right, sadly it’s WERE.

“Man of the match from the iron bar nice connection with the club” – isn’t that a fans initiative?

“what connection do you want Cass” – I want to continue to feel a part of the Club I’ve supported for years, a valued supporter not an outsider. You clearly think that’s too much to ask.

You continue to talk out your arse BS, what part of the club do we own that we should be consulted on? Can’t believe people with money don’t have a bank card, and why do you need a computer to purchase a ticket?

We don’t own any of the Club, we know that. It is, however, common practice for businesses (particularly successful ones) to connect with their customers and establish their needs. Any connection between our club and fans has disappeared, they occasionaly ask for feedback but then largely choose to ignore it. You’re the only one who appears to have chosen the new kit for example.

[cassidystash]

You’re right, a leader is essential, that’s why I found the choice of captain very strange.

[cassidystash]

Great comparison between Kell & Wayne Graves – Kell arrived at the right time to receive the ball, Graves arrived just after the ball had gone. (But covered every blade of grass!!)

Will we have made our minds up about Harry Bunn by Saturday evening? Seems to be dragging on a bit.

You’re right les, but so was Hornshaw and where were all his league starts? No wonder few of our youngsters make the transition to league football when we change their position for them at 19.

A couple of observations:-
Nice to see us play two up front, hope it lasts.
If the starting 11 was Cox’s ” best available” it would seem Pugh has overtaken Rowe as second choice behind Millen and Collins before Watson. Surely that can only be as back up though?

[cassidystash]

Good point about Staffy barton. Presumably winners will want paying in cash so where will that come from? Can’t see John walking around with a contactless card machine so could be the end of an era, he might have to start watching the games and suffer like the rest of us.

4 trialists according to Cox 2 centre mid a winger and a striker.

Number 1 priority still missing then!

A complete shambles all round and how anyone can defend the current set up is beyond me.

Only a couple are trying Cliff and even they are almost running on empty. One of them might be along in a minute with a reason to be positive but only if we’ve signed a keeper and 3 others.

I was following Hampshire v Glamorgan on ESPNCRICINFO and would have loved to have seen the Hampshire innings, 18 fours and 12 sixes scoring 187 in 13 overs to qualify to the quarterfinals of the Blast, they needed to do it in 14 overs, but Livingstone is one big hitter and unlucky with the runout.

Can’t agree with the run out mick, if he’d trusted his partner and responded to his call instead of looking for the ball it was an easy run. Schoolboy error.

“It’s best not getting annoyed about it though until all becomes clear, then if we don’t have a prepared squad at the start of the season then start complaining”

We can’t have a fully prepared squad if some are not signed until a week before the season starts though. Bunn and Thompson are already with us, fair enough, but others will not have long to get acclimatised.

A local NL team have been selling their new kit to supporters for 10 days. The supplier is Macron, so it’s tempting to ask why.

Next time you see the chairman ask him if he wants fans or customers. He doesn’t seem that bothered about either.
Then ask yourself if he has fans or customers at his other entertainment venues.

I’m looking for something to be optimistic about, UTI 99 has failed to provide as requested. All I’ve come up with is that the signings appear to be players that Cox wants and we’ve shifted Spence who he clearly didn’t want. Unbelievable that we had a player worth a transfer fee.

Less than 4 weeks until the first league game. Some players now without income for 5 weeks. Desperate times for us and them, wage expectations coming down and our need for players remains. The players we still need MUST be signed this week to give them and the team half a chance of being ready.

[cassidystash]

110 minutes of Coxesque/Wilcoxesque football got what it deserved. Hoping Southgate & Cox learn from this, a great opportunity missed. Penalty organisation was a complete shambles especially as we knew it was a strong possibility. 2 played 120+ minutes and scored, 2 played 5 minutes and missed and a 19 y.o. in his first major tornament!!!! Unbelievable Jeff! Winning a penalty shootout with 3 just shouldn’t happen, Pickford deserved better.

Both teams on SUFC Official Twitter.

Presumably when the loan is repaid then the embargo is lifted but it seems there is no need as we are signing OOC players on low wages. So when we’re on the fringes of the promotion race in January the loan will be repaid and the high profile signings needed to finish the job will be recruited.
