Of course he will, is that what he’s afraid of? If he only has 2 fit strikers ( 1 unknown and 1 untried) then I don’t envy him at all.

[cassidystash]

Also, as somebody mentioned on another thread, there’s Jessop, who made the match day squad but was overlooked in favour of a midfielder when a striker went off. Now I accept that it might be too much to ask of a young player to play a lone striker role but, without an U23 side, when is he going to get any football?

So you think the abuse players like Goode/Burgess/Wootton received at games and on social media was justified?
All young players learning their trade yet scapegoated by some if they dared to make a mistake.

Can you imagine any footballer worthy of the name asking to leave a club because “some nasty men in the crowd shouted at me saying I was ******* useless?” Surely the way to deal with that would be to go out and prove the nasty men wrong. (Unless, of course, you are ******* useless!!)

Forgot to say that I sincerely hope I’m wrong and I’m forced into a grovelling apology to the manager at FT.

[cassidystash]

Just about to post the same thing MK. Another pathetic attempt at a 0-0 (hoping for a pen to sneak a win?) and Beestin sacrificed for entering the opposition half more than he’s allowed to.

deemed good enough to be on the bench for a Premier League side. This despite some of you, led by ringleader SST, hounding him out of our club.

He was good enough to be on the bench in the Championship last season but didn’t start many times. Let’s see how many games he gets in the Prem. Never looked good enough when he was here, could have improved but probably not that much.
What do you base your “hounding out” theory on? People expressing an opinion that a player isn’t good enough? If that were the case we wouldn’t have many left, can’t think of many players in recent seasons that everybody rated.

Also he’s not a Championship striker which is what Cox has said about the possible loanee.
I trust Cox knows the difference between a Championship striker and a striker on the books of a Championship club.

[cassidystash]

Certainly doesn’t fit the bill as far as what Bruers think we need does he?

We’ve already got Loft ‘Alone’ though.

Perhaps clubs who didn’t take it read the small print!

It could well be cited as the main reason for this seasons failure, we can’t continue to use Covid can we?

We needed a complete rebuild with 10 or more in to replace the 20 out. Whilst that has happened to a degree there were priority areas to be addressed. Two of those were experienced ‘keeper and a regular scorer IIRC. It would seem that the (insert perceived culprit here) didn’t agree and therefore it’s reasonable to question their ability to do the job required.

To give WAtson the cover he needs Balme would have to be playing alongside him!

Rowe still can’t get a game. Hallam injured again??

This is the bloke who on Friday night’s podcast was asking the supporters to come along and buy food and drink and spend money in the club shop.
Yet UTI99 reckons none of that matters and we should just turn up, watch and sod off home without buy a foot-long and trying to hold it it after sinking a couple of pints somewhere other than the Iron Bar.
A bit out of sync with your boss aren’t you?

But that would make you a customer surely! For some reason UTI99 doesn’t want those – bizarre!!

Guess this level of loyalty is reflective of today’s society.

OK so you want fans not customers so how do we attract the fans?
Sh1te football, filthy stadium, excessive parking charges, poor refreshment options, little or no ‘fan’ engagement because that’s what we’ve got. How would you suggest we tackle this to get rid of the customers and attract the fans.

That explains the problem then UTI99, if the chairman’s main interest is customers, as he has at his entertainment venues, rather than fans. He appears to have little interest in fans and their needs and if, as you suggest, fans are what he should expect at the SVS then there’s no need to prepare an attractive and acceptable venue is there.

Duplicated

[cassidystash]

Agree with BRI, Watson has not grasped the principal that if you can’t hold a shot then you don’t push the ball back into the centre of the penalty area, he’s done it time after time and it usually costs us a goal. Hasn’t the GK coach spotted this yet or is Watson not listening?

[cassidystash]

It’s understandable that after being empty for 18 months the stadium has become a little grubby. However with plenty of notice of when the ground would be used again this state of affairs is totally unacceptable. Who is responsible SUFC or Cool Silk? Amounts to the same thing really doesn’t it.

Same old dross today im just glad i didnt waste more money watching it.
I think signing an experienced keeper was a must i personally would have got joe murphy back for another year or two hes someone who commands the back four.
A right back is needed because pugh is just another hornshaw i feel but yet the club see different somehow then even play him out of position.
We also need a pacey winger and a poacher type of striker who can play off loft.
Teams dont have to come and work hard for the 3 points we make it so easy for them.
Swindon have quality where it counts and in anthony grant and jack payne they are far better than our shambles.

Interesting comments from somebody who admits he didn’t watch the game. Can I ask what you are basing those opinions on?

There’ll be complaints for certain but I’d be amazed if ALL fans wouldn’t be happy with any sort of win.

[cassidystash]

Combination of much of the above.
Pugh has done enough to get the nod for me.
Onoriase is 100% fit, Davis isn’t.
O’Malley/Thompson – toss a coin.
Kenyon (c) before Perry who again might not be 100%
Hallam might just sneak a start over O’Neill.

Billson
Pugh Onariase Taft O’Malley
Bunn Beestin Kenyon Green
Hallam Loft

Watson, Rowe, Davis, Thompson, Perry, Wilson, O’Neill

[cassidystash]

Allegedly the amount still outstanding on the original fee, but who knows?

[cassidystash]

The responsibility for signings is a matter of opinion, mine is above. Regarding KVV did you miss the bit where he came back because Northampton failed to pay up. We have had signings in recent years that a succession of managers didn’t fancy, who was responsible for them?
