Beestin taken off injured and the trialist winger Kahousi or whatever his name is, is also injured I think…hence why he didn’t play today. Hallam’s probably broke down again as well as he didn’t feature.

The young winger is fairly highly rated as well which is a shame.

Good win though.

[WonderGoals]

Yes, how did you know ?

[WonderGoals]

Going by twitter they’ve had 2 offers from ice cream vendors as of yesterday.

That’s the reason we haven’t signed any. We’re cheap

We all know that but why not even get any on trial ?. All a little old.

[WonderGoals]

Who may have played more minutes for us this season, Hallam or 38yr old Clayton Donaldson ?

I’d probably say Donaldson.

You would have thought matt would have heard something if we were after strikers so maybe Hill is thinking of packing us with Midfielders again. I hope that’s not the case though.

Even if we play with 1 up top we still need at least 2 strikers, surely ? lol

[WonderGoals]

Home shirt looks spot on. Away one looks a bit boring but I surprisingly like the yellow kit. That looks quite nice. Way, way better than last seasons offerings.

But I feel sure that you could possibly enjoy both if you really tried

You shouldn’t have to enjoy anything, you either do or you don’t. There is one exception though and that’s this bloody club and I only try and convince myself I’m enjoying it because I have an emotional tie to the club….. “sometimes” regrettable but it’s there nevertheless.

I don’t have the same feeling towards women’s football due to having no ties to it. I’m the same with American Football and it’s stop start nature. I watched 10 minutes once and I instantly knew I hated the sport so not bothered with it since.

I suppose it’s simply down to what you like and don’t like.

We’ve started with Beestin up on his own before now

Looked terribly too. I really do hope Hill drafts in a few strikers.

[WonderGoals]

Never a good idea going into the season with just 1 player in any given position.

How are they going to ever produce their best knowing they’re an automatic pick game in game out ?

Because I just don’t see the point of me sitting there watching a televised Sunday league level match. I could enjoy both but I just don’t. Nothing to do with thinking women shouldn’t play football professionally, I simply just think it’s boring as well and poor quality.

There’s nothing more about it really.

Good luck to women footballers, they deserve to be paid well and deserve to earn a good living just as much as the men. I just don’t rate it or like it.

[WonderGoals]

If Nthle is signed as a CB then fair enough, you can see the sense in that. If Kahoosi or whatever he’s called works out and we sign him for LW, he can compete there with Lewis. Butterfield would further strengthen midfield but could really do with another RB to compete with Rowe and a few strikers.

I did mention Tom elliot yesterday as he’s available. I vaguely remember a player for Barrow scoring a worldie against us called Sea-pronounced sea-a, young french striker and another one who I think score against us called Benny Ashley Seal…think he scored against us for Northampton, scored 2 in 9 last season, ex wolves youth.

There are players out there worth a trail at least surely ?

Daniel is a forward thinking player he can play left wing or even upfront!

Great. We used to play Pugh at RB when he was here to cover that position, wasn’t really ideal..was it ?

We need 2 strikers with doubt. Fair enough Daniel can play there but come on…we need strikers !

ou have to be joking Wonder goals

No I wasn’t joking. Women’s football for me is subpar, no doubt they would improve over time but I only care about here and now in terms of actually going out of my way to watch it for any real amount of time.

I personally find it poor. I wasn’t comparing women’s football to Scunny men’s team as such, I was just highlighting how bad Norway were.

No doubt it was more entertaining watching England vs Norway because women because Norway were bordering on comical.

If you find women’s football that entertaining I suggest you stick to that and don’t bother with Men’s football anymore seen as you went out of your way to highlight the plus points.

Each to their own.

Before certain white knights start crying, I’m not in anyway a misogynist by any means, I just think the quality isn’t there to hold my attention.

Really it isn’t that deep.

I think it’s shite though. There I said it.

Wouldn’t Bunny have signed by now if he was wanted, he’s been here probably the longest of any other trialist so far. Certainly longer than Daniel unless Keith has been chasing Daniel for awhile and was just waiting to get him in and check his fitness?

Bunney might be here for longest because he may have been the shortest of fitness. Hill may want to judge whether he’s got anything to add once he feels he’s fully fit, either that or maybe has decided he hasn’t got it in him anymore to contribute.

Peplow who Hill said he liked the look of was definitely a left sided player but he rolled his ankle. Peplow’s injury may have been a lot worse than first anticipated so maybe he’s been let go.

Who knows ?

lesgeo wrote:

We still need a CB

I agree but with all the left sided players we have on the books, maybe Nthle has signed primarily as a CB.

[WonderGoals]

It seems odd with these left sided players but only thing I can think of is Bunney will be maybe signed with a view to play off a striker in the no 10 as more of a link player and Nthle may have been signed more as a CB.

Bunney has definitely played there and Lewis is really a LW by trade.

Isn’t that young lad we had on trial Peplow who Hill liked the look of also a left sided player ?

[WonderGoals]

lesgeo wrote:

Yes. Isn’t he the guy who used to score goals?

Yes, granted he’s not pulled up any trees of late he’s still of a decent pedigree and is at a good age as well.

[WonderGoals]

If we sign Butterfield it would be a coup you would have thought for national league but we’ll have a load of CM and still only 1 striker.

[WonderGoals]

Green was an odd one in that he looked like he had the talent but never believed in himself enough to use what he had. Green was a good ball carrier at times with a shite load of pace, on the few occasions he went on the outside he left his man for dead but never did it enough.

Shame really, as I think if he really backed himself he could have been really effective at league two level.

Main position is LW according to internet. I feel sorry for Hill with this budget he’s been given.

You’d know which one UTI99 would be…believe me. He’d be shift looking one wearing nothing but an “I LOVE PETER SWANN” t-shirt and a flashers mac.

I suspect he’d also be pictured sniffing the seats.

[WonderGoals]

You’re right but we need strikers in and with money thin on the ground I find it extremely odd why we haven’t brought anybody in before now to have a proper look at.

I see that Tom Elliot who we were interested in 2 or 3 seasons ago is out of contract, not that old either at 31yrs of age. I suspect with our wage budget we’ve got more chance in signing Billy Elliot.

[WonderGoals]

What get’s me is that we’ve seen us get players in for every other position on trial, apart from strikers. I find that a bit odd seen as that’s where we are most short.

[WonderGoals]

We need cover for RB as well as we only have Rowe.

[WonderGoals]

Even at the very least we need 2 strikers, 1 CB, 1 RB and a left sided player.

That’s not me being an idiot wanting all the budget to be blown either, we need those players for a competitive, balanced squad !

Those are musts. We lack any back up at CB and RB, only one recognized striker and we’re lacking a left hand sided attacker.

If we go into the season this short in squad numbers we’ll be in very serious trouble.

[WonderGoals]

Norway played that bad, I think our side from last season would have battered them !. I don’t need to point out how shite we were last season. That’s how bad the opposition was.

Women’s football is very poor on the whole. Nothing against it at all, they deserve to play football professionally as much as anybody else but still the standard is shocking and nothing I’d ever personally bother watching.

Each to their own though !

[WonderGoals]

People are saying the two are Dewhurt and Bunney.

2 more through the door but still need way, way more. 3 Strikers short for a start. 1 more CB, 1 more RB, and a left sided player.

Dog mess?!Didn’t you say that about Wootton?

No. I was one of the only people who didn’t like the fact the club let him go without tying him down to a contract and them sending him out on loan.

You’d know that if you weren’t a forum part timer !

You must have been on gardening leave when I wrote that.

[WonderGoals]

The old Steve Torpey was a bit of a lunatic and Jim Goodwin was a nutcase as well. Those two had a bit of a short fuse !

[WonderGoals]

I watched 10 minutes of England women vs Austria, it was absolute dog mess. I would even go as far as to say that our complete shower of shite would have beaten them.

Believe you me, that’s saying something !
