Butler’s already said they’re looking for another keeper that will challenge him so I don’t get some of the panic narrative.

When you have a manager who completely jumps the gun and states publicly that a player is his number once choice, despite the player in question being an absolute millions miles away and nowhere near good enough is more than enough to spread panic.

No agenda at play here.

[WonderGoals]

Butler stating publicly that Campbell was his no 1 hasn’t helped matters, as now because of that he’s somewhat backed himself into a corner. Butler should have kept his mouth shut and when asked about the GK, he should have glossed over it and not said anything.

All he’s done has come out and publicly backed a player to be number one pick even though he’s nowhere near ready. I wish he thought more strategically at the time before coming out and speaking about Campbell before seeing first hand if he was actually even ready in pre season.

Bigtoe, nervous is an understatement, looks jittery as anything and generally looks unsure of himself against part time players in pretty meaningless matches. I wouldn’t want to see how he’d react in front of a bumper crowd on match day.

Looks bad enough this pre season. To put this into perspective, Campbell is the Tomi Ameobi of Goalkeepers. Not just isolated mistakes either, it’s match in match out and has gotten worse and worse as times gone on. Still got 5 pre season games yet to play.

It’s absolute madness that Butler has allowed us to be in this mess without even seeing is Campbell is even up to it first. Crazy really when you think about it.

Fingers crossed he comes to his senses.

[WonderGoals]

Look, just lets tell the truth about Campbell. No way in a million years is he ready. We could all join arms and chant Campbell in unison and he still will not be good enough.

Looked shaky as well today. Campbell didn’t look great in the others either. Sorry, but if we go with him to start the season, we’re in deep trouble.

People are already shouting it from the stands. If Butler hasn’t realised even by this early stage that he was wrong, he must be watching games blindfolded and must be wearing earplugs.

As I said above, he’s nowhere near and even needs a few seasons out on loan to develop to even be an effective no 2, never mind a number 1.

Miles and miles off it. Looks a bag of nerves, indecisive and as dodgy as hell. Put it this way, Rory Watson was shaky but Campbell is quite a bit worse than he was.

Louis Jones is supposed to be a target ex donny who was at dagenham last season, playing 7 games.

[WonderGoals]

That Chapman looked promising by all accounts and set up the 1st goal.

[WonderGoals]

Apparently it was Theo Chapman ex Barnsley. Simmonds was supposed to be Keyendrah Simmonds.

[WonderGoals]

Shocking tonight and GK position worries me massively. Surely an experienced head has to come in as the other GK ?

We had the best keeper in the division

Without doubt. I said he was very good at that level. We definitely need another GK, which I’m sure we’ll get, but it better be an experienced one who can easily slot in if Campbell struggles.

[WonderGoals]

He was very good for the level we were at, but he was nothing extraordinary. A poster last week had him up to Mussy , Murphy and Luke Daniels level which was an interesting take.

[WonderGoals]

Behave. If we turn up with Eze and the rest we’ll have too much for them.

[WonderGoals]

Surely he’ll have other offers. I’d be surprised if he didn’t.

[WonderGoals]

I doubt he would drop down to National League level to compete with Campbell. I think that’s way below his ability.

Mr Butler says another keeper is not a no2 – he is there to challenge who has the starting spot.

We have had some in for a look and will be looking at others but there will be another keeper for season start.

I don’t think we’ve taken a GK on trial, hence why Campbell played both halves the other night.

Kieran O’Hara OOC at Kilmarnock.

That’s the keeper we got on an loan a few seasons back. He looked a quality keeper for the small number of games he played.

I think he’s better than national league level though sadly.

[WonderGoals]

We have a Mo Fadera flair type player in Eze, he plays no 10 and on both flanks. Definitely need a RB and a goalkeeper.

[WonderGoals]

We can’t play on our pitch yet which massively hinders due to us delaying the repair work for that stupid music event which we made no profit on.

[WonderGoals]

Too serious this forum at times. Please apologise CMC “even if you don’t mean it”. Poor Iron-awe will end up bursting a blood vessel.

[WonderGoals]

Iron-awe, a lack of keeper training or not, passing the ball directly to an opposition striker when you have a huge question mark over your head isn’t a good look.

Distribution wasn’t exactly great either. I predict we’ll sign a more experienced GK and when Campbell struggles he’ll end up taking his place.

Ideally he needs a loan spell somewhere and games under his belt before being 1st choice. Campbells got a hell of a lot if improving to do before the season starts.

[WonderGoals]

Mino Riola has been back in touch. To fend off interest from Eastleigh, Aldershot Town and Wealdstone we agreed an 8k a week contract with Beestin.

That’s where our national league replacement goalkeeper has gone folks.

[WonderGoals]

I was close then ?. Was told by a top contact of mine that Uppal took 3 players on and volleyed it in from 25+ yards. I’ll be having words.

How did that Munoz look, any good ?

[WonderGoals]

Sounds like he’s Butlers number one, but we’ll bring in a loan player to compete so if Campbell does struggle the loan GK will step in.

[WonderGoals]

Harry shipstone is a central midfielder, ex Grimsby
Raj Uppal plays upfront and has been at a lower level “scored a good goal tonight”
Johnathan Gjoshe plays RB and again comes from lower level.
Tyrell Dawes ex Sheff wednesday youngster is a CB.
Munoz I think plays LB, but no idea who he is. That must be the pint sized Llama sitting fella in the Loughton Woods Picture.

No, this isn’t from Football manager, but from Mino Raiola. One of footballs biggest super agents. I was sent over individual dossiers on each player sent to me as PDF files.

[WonderGoals]

Maison Campbell main man with a loan GK coming in from EFL according to Butler. I hope he’s right about Campbell.

[WonderGoals]

Sounds like Butler will be signing 2 more players on loan. Sensible guesses would be GK and RB.

Lund is much better physically than Clunan and much better defensively.
He’s a quality player all round.
We need someone to win the ball and control the midfield. He can do that.

How can you say that without knowing what the 34yr old is actually able to offer ?. You’re basing his capabilities on what the version we had used to offer. This Lund will be nowhere near the version we once had.

[WonderGoals]

I thought last season he looked like his legs had gone somewhat. Beck reminded me of Chris Iwelumo a.k.a The Tree and when we signed him he was physically shot to bits.

[WonderGoals]

I hope he’s on the look out for a new club. Terrible signing by Butler.

You don’t have to win the ball back by smashing people you can use your brain instead.

As you’ve just said, Lund isn’t this midfield bruiser people have been mentioning that we need.

I go back to what I’ve previously said, if we go down the route of signing a Bishop type CM player, why would we sign a 34yr old Lund who isn’t that type of player ?

Clunan broke play up and used his head because he didn’t have the required physicality, but he wasn’t the combative CM player people said we needed last season.

I’d love Lund back. Quality and experience. Yes please.

If we go down that route of signing a pure midfield destroyer, why sign a 34yr old Lund who isn’t really that ?

Am I missing something here ?

[WonderGoals]

If that’s Ramon Nunez, he must have stumbled across the worlds most effective anti aging cream. Nunez needs to be studied lol
