Absolute work horse but not sure what people really saw in him. Technically he was sub par, decision making was dodgy at times and as mentioned above, his passing was poor.
I’d take Gallimore over him for sure. Cribb has a lot more about him and Moore-Billam has a little bit of everything including decent physicality like Gallimore.
Whitehouse is impressing on trial as well. Pugh is ok if he’s used strictly as a break up player who keeps it very simple, any thing other than that and he’ll struggle.
Pugh has fantastic energy but for the reasons above, I wouldn’t class him as a box to box midfielder as he’s too limited.

Gutsy but can’t pass for toffee. Is he any better than young Gallimore ?

Sounds like Swann will be asking for good money to relinquish his chairman role. What a piss take !
Swann bought this club for £1 remember, yes he cleared debts but look how much he’s put us in.
In my opinion he should do the right thing and piss off. The club clearly can’t mean that much to him because if it did he’d move it on to anybody who’s half decent and get gone.
What makes me laugh is the fact that Swann wants potential owners to fulfil certain criteria’s and yet look at all the shite he’s done.
Swann will now run the rule over interested parties and see if he deems them fit and worthy lol
What a joke !
We definitely picked a winner in Swann.

How many players of those are youth players ?
That’s the point. uptheiron, you’re counting players who are undercooked/inexperienced in with the whole squad number which in it’s self is absolutely ridiculous.
We’re 8 0r 9 players short of a balanced squad, if you fill in the other 4/5 gaps with current youth players we truly are fecked.
What do you think would happen if the experienced players pick up injuries and were left with a glorified youth team playing in this uncompromising league ?
If we only sign 4 players it will be nowhere near good enough. 1 of those 4 will be a rookie GK and Hallam who’s one of the experienced ones currently on the books is injured for the most part.
You can’t just simply fill slots with people who have little to no experience and count them as viable back ups.
Only you uptheiron, only you !

“Hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard.”
That’s all well and good but you still need a large enough to compete in that league, it’s unforgiving. No way simple hard work can make up for a lack of players.

We’re 9 signings away from a balanced squad and we’ve been training now for 4/5 days.
Absolutely ridiculous.
I thought this season couldn’t possibly be as badly managed as last season but I’m beginning to think otherwise.

Aaron Jarvis was on £1,500 a week ? lol
Hallam needs binning off. Sick to death of carry the perpetual sick note. Swann needs a kick up the arse for signing him up for another 2 years.
That’s right up there with all the rest of the moronic things he’s done.

Sharp shooter, Wilson and and Feeney will be ok for RW.
Admit we need a new CB, LB, RB, GK, LW, experienced CM and 3 strikers.
Let’s face it, we’re well short.

According to twitter were after a striker who’s been plying his trade in national league and has scored a mind blowing 13 goals in 7, yes SEVEN season’s at that level.
I don’t do Twitter WG, only the SUFC one on the off chance there’s something on there that’s not restaurant or season ticket based. Where should I be looking for the more interesting stuff that you find?
I simply typed in Owen Mason and started reading the fellow fan responses. The striker post popped up within people moaning at us seemingly chasing a teenage GK.

I hope permacrocck Hallam follows, talented player on his day. A big pity he only has 3 or 4 a season. I hope Hill has players lined up, as it stands were virtually a fully fledged youth team squad.

The striker in question, whoever he is has been described as “shite”
I think it’s fair to say that we should all be expecting a relegation battle next season. I can’t see anything else. We currently have very little experienced players in the squad and one of them is Hallam who’s never fit.
Nuttall and O’neil upfront as it stands. Oh and now no Miller, we have one RB in Rowe who will have to cover in at CB at times because we only have 3 of those on the books.
God above.

I’m not prepared to accept that a really good manager like Hill can just lose all his abilities. It is illogical.
You should have seen what Tranmere fans said about him. Playing players out of position for no real reason and tactically inept was just two. We all saw evidence of this last season. I must admit that some of his decision making was completely bonkers and made little to no sense.
Tranmere fans actually cheered when he went. I remember one of their fans laughing when we signed Hill on twitter and went on to explain people were getting pissed off with Hill playing one of their LB’s in CM and a RB at CB when they had no previous experience in even playing in those positions.
The fan in question said it was only when he went and they got in a manager who actually played the players where they were supposed to be played that they started to progress.
Keith Hill did well at Rochdale signing bargain bin basement players fuelled with the “everybody are against us” siege mentality. Hill always has played ultra simplistic, direct football. I’ve never seen a silky Keith Hill side.
Another thing which was said by the same fan was that he over emphasis work rate and “passion” over every thing else. That was also apparent last season.
I was the first person to credit the club in signing Keith Hill but I was another who was suckered in by his Rochdale days but when you look beyond that he’s dubious to say the least. I quickly began to realise that the Tranmere fan knew what the crack was.
Do I think he’s the one for us ?. No I don’t !
Hill will stay though while ever Swann is hanging around like a bad smell. I want both the Swann clan and Hill throwing out.

I didn’t hear any racist abuse and neither did other people who were there. As said above, the abuse started after he middle fingered us. I also was told he offered out a group of 4 or 5 young uns “teens to late teens” for a scrap in the car park.
How people justify that carry on is beyond me !. I admit he received some stick for messing up another chance and being shite in the air again but it was nothing too over the top.
The way he reacted was absolutely disgraceful.
On a more positive note the kids did really well. The young keeper looked really assured and Wilson played really well.
This season has been an absolute disaster but there are some really good kids here. If we can add 5/6 or 7 old heads to blend it all together, we might be all right.
Some really talented players in the group.

I’ve heard swann’s asking price is a stumbling block. There are a few interested parties.
Hardly surprising. Swann will want most of the money back he pissed down the drain. I hope he comes to his senses and moves the club on, it’s the least he could do !
