I stayed up there for the 2v2 away match (Deing’s goal) and despite a frustrating result for them every fan I met was very friendly and good for a chat. Very good fanbase.
Repeating myself here but absolutely criminal we went into the season with Frey and Celar as only senior strikers, with 1 Championship goals between them. Myself and many others called it out at the time. Selling Dykes and Armstrong made sense to me and we got fair transfer fees but only sell if you are going to get at least 1 back in.
I’m not sure an average works, that’s like is finishing 21st, 21st 11th and 11th and suggesting we always finish 16th because that is the average! Reality is only finished 16th once (not even 15th or 17th), I suggest (haven’t checked) we have spent a fair bit of time there during the season though.
Always hope for Bristol Rovers away when QPR are drawn and never get it, one go with Weston-s-Mare (I watch them regularly) and we get them! Good West Country derby!
I go and watch WSM regularly as it is my local team, hoping for a great draw for them tomorrow they have only made round 1 a handful of times, would be great to see Dykes and Brum come down to the West Country! Impressive that Lowestoft got 1200 there yesterday.
No one can seriously want Marti to go, just social media attention seeking nonsense, he produced a minor miracle in saving such a dreadful situation last season but has made a slow start to this one. Over the course of his time as Manager he has performed above expectations and transformed us from hoofball to something far more attractive.
Surely the club must have done their due diligence and watched these signings fairly significantly, particularly as we have previous little budget. Goes without saying that we need the right balance of data and scouting rather than one or the other. Worrying!
Fairly immobile when he was with us and his fitness was questionable, has done little since and makes you wonder how sharp he will be at 33 having been playing in the Saudi league, not for me. Although we do need someone ridiculous we have Frey and Celar as only Strikers.
Surely a message board is to express and debate options with other fans, no matter what the personal view is? Personally I expected a slow start but am a little concerned.
I’d agree and we have a huge amount of talent in midfield, may struggle to get back in, maybe will push him to move to a bigger side to help get him back in!!
Impressed with Nourry, great talker and clearly has ideas.
I’ve no issue the contract lengths not being disclosed, if they are then it naturally creates a lot more social media chat particularly as they come to an end. This in turn can be picked up by other clubs which can unsettle or make our negotiations more difficult as other teams declare an interest. I don’t see this decision as a Game Changer (although interesting others have adopted) but by avoiding disclosing details a small incremental gain.
I am very much playing devil’s advocate here as Dembele stats are very good, I do wonder how good this news is though, Dembele has been poor in the last few matches and wonder if a loan with an option to buy may have kept the player more motivated to prove himself he has a deal in place now no matter how he performs.
Ridiculous that people were ‘judging the window’ I even saw some marks out of 10, surely this is impossible until at least 12-15 matches and really the end the season when you reflect back.
Bannon’s last min shot was direct from the kick-off, fairly good effort, just over the bar but Nardi scrambled back and had it covered. I’m not sure I’d have ever recovered if that had gone in!
Long day but ultimately a great one that felt like a win. The dramatic late goal shouldn’t mask a a surprisingly poor performance, very lucky to be level at HT and would have had no reason to complain if we had lost. Seem to be a lack of movement, ideas and an inability to do the basic’s right, created very little although the stats look reasonable I suspect this was really only because of the mad scramble significantly added to our shots on target!
