Who is conducting transfer negotiations in January?
at 14:24 30 Dec 2024

I thought he made some good signings for us.

Harwood-Bellis and Downes were pretty important signings in getting us back up, and we won’t lose money on them.

Of course.

I forgot about him….

We’ll be Champions by April 2026!

at 13:30 30 Dec 2024

McCarthy
Bree
Wood
Edwards
Charlie Taylor
Downes
Aribo
Smallbone
Fraser
Archer
Armstrong

That's a starting 11 of players I don't see getting moves to a Prem club in the summer, possible question mark on Downes maybe.

With the likes of Fraser, Amo-Ameyaw and dare I say Stephens also there to add options from the bench.

You could see Archer and Armstrong each getting 20-odd goals in the Championship next season.

A few decent signings to give us more depth, and it should be a decent season.

This is so true.

Joe Shields came to us highly-rated, but Lavia apart, he just signed a load of duds from Man. City.

Jason Wilcox was a big improvement, and we will never know exactly how big a loss it was when he left. It looks a massive loss to me though.

Parsons?
Ankersen?
Bitcon?

Would be concerned with all of these.

Based on our summer business, Ramsdale and Fernandes apart, they have failed us miserably.

Our failure to replace Jason Wilcox has proved very costly.

But if you look at Boscombe's Yank owner Foley, he also has stakes in the following:-

- Hibernian
- L'Orient in France
- Auckland FC in New Zealand

The difference is that Boscombe spend their money very wisely. Yes, they spent large on their Brazilian striker, but most of their players were bought in the £10 million - £15 million bracket. And almost without exception they are all very good.

They are just a whole lot smarter than us.

Anybody still of the opinion that it was all Russell Martin’s fault ?
at 11:02 30 Dec 2024

We chucked away crucial points in home games against Leicester and Ipswich due to an inability to close out games.

Who knows where we would be if we had taken 6 points from those two games instead of 1.

That is on Martin.

As is the chucking away of goals due to tippy tappy nonsense at Newcastle, Brentford and at home to Liverpool and Chelsea.

Nick gave a pretty damning critique of Martin recently, which I wholly agree with.

Needs a whole re-set in the summer.

We will need a new manager who can both get us up and then somehow keep us up there.

This is clearly becoming more and more difficult, and was way beyond Russell Martin, who will never be a manager again in the Premier League if the footballing gods get their way.

I think the only manager we could possibly get who could achieve these two objectives is Steve Cooper.

I heard a comment in the pub yesterday speculating on mental health issues.

No evidence of it, but it does make you wonder with some of these long-term absentees.

He's better than the Scottish League.

I suspect he will be sold in January to prevent him leaving on a free.

Besides we seem to have a number of full-backs coming in imminently.

And who could begrudge him a move?

Baffling.

Our support in terms of noise is the worst it has been in many a year, probably the worst since the days of Poortvliet and Wotte.

Looks like they will be available soon.

The left-back Wellington was at the game yesterday apparently.

I would be intrigued as to how he would do if we were to start him in an away game, where we would invariably have less of the ball and there were not be so many balls lofted up to him.
