With Forrester being injured (again !), I suspect SS was thinking Toal, Forino, Taylor & probably Inwood as his 4 CB's - what that says about Johnston who knows - I do think that he sees Taylor as a CB, at least I hope so.
Could Johnston be on the way out?

Re: Schu me the way to Amarillo - Summer 2025 Transfer Thread

There’s a lot of tealeaf-reading around a Schumacher comment (club YouTube video published tonight) that Inwood is one of four centre-backs. Folk surmising he sees Johnno or Taylor as LB. I’m too tired and sad to listen. But it could be that we now focus money into a(nother) striker rather than wai...

Re: Pre-season 2025

And Forrester....why do we as a club appear to get more injuries than most others Dalby (and Forrester) both with hamstring injuries days into pre season. I doubt we do generally. You just aren’t following other clubs injury lists. We’ve had a few years of signing players with bad injury records so...

Re: Schu me the way to Amarillo - Summer 2025 Transfer Thread

I really hope Conway gets a chance and he has done about as well as he can. But there's also no way we're going into the season with our only specialist a still unproven if promising kid. We basically want Jack Iredale. Primarily a LB but versatile. Good egg. Can push Max but not smother him. Unpro...

Re: Schu me the way to Amarillo - Summer 2025 Transfer Thread

Again I ask - if Conway is not able to play first team games at league one level this season then when? And what’s the point of keeping players having had a year long loan the level below that is a roaring success you then say ‘sorry we need to sign better than you’? I say give him a chance. Not lik...

Yeah, still.waiting. About 15 years and counting. How all the folks who were right are going to improve it. 15 years and not a single workable suggestion.

Re: creeeeeeeekeeeeeet

Certainly not a draw. What we were doing first innings with that array of ducks is beyond me. Lots of records this game, one of the more interesting ones maybe is Zak has the lowest average of any opener to pass 2,500 runs. Gill, I think I read is the only batter to get a 250+ and a 150+ in the sam...

Re: Schu me the way to Amarillo - Summer 2025 Transfer Thread

I'm not saying that we need a 34-35 year old, like BWFCI says someone perhaps 30-32 but an organiser, a talker - a leader ! hopefully someone with experience of captaining a side promoted from league 1, that sort of profile. I think age is less important than mentality - someone who has seen a few ...

Re: Schu me the way to Amarillo - Summer 2025 Transfer Thread

we still lack a proper experienced tough captain / leader on the pitch, and for me this is the most important position if we are to have any chance of success next season. I am inclined to agree Bernie. We have done well so far in the market but still need to sign a couple wise older experienced he...

Ilesy; “It is believed a left back and a striker are still on the cards, with a back-up goalkeeper now joining the list, but Bolton have not ruled out doing even more business if they choose to move on any more of their squad.” With that in mind, the current guessing game online is trying to identi...

Re: Schu me the way to Amarillo - Summer 2025 Transfer Thread

The good news is, you don't have to worry too much about fans opinions. They're not likely to have a big impact on who stays and goes. I think we just have to go with "managers call," and see what drops out the other side. I know what you mean but it depends if the fans and their opinions get so ‘f...

Re: Schu me the way to Amarillo - Summer 2025 Transfer Thread

If Thomason is the one who's generating interest then so be it. We'd miss his industry, no doubt, but I do suspect that he's hit his ceiling as a footballer. Time waits for no man, but it's about now. The future is beyond our direction, but use what we have ..Que Sera, etc. George is a Wanderer. I'...

Re: Schu me the way to Amarillo - Summer 2025 Transfer Thread

Apparently Nixon has said Huddersfield want George Thomason if they, as expected, can’t get Preston’s Brad Potts. Discuss. Down to Schumacher and Harkin to decide what an acceptable offer for any player would be and whether selling them makes sense. He’s one I’d be sad to see go before we manage to...

Re: Schu me the way to Amarillo - Summer 2025 Transfer Thread

ACD is our most exciting signing thus far, for me. Clearly the lad has to apply himself properly, but if he does, looks to have the ability to be the best player in the division. Give me these types over mid-20s lower league journeymen any day. Virtually all our signings have experience of a higher...

Re: Schu me the way to Amarillo - Summer 2025 Transfer Thread

I can't workout what Schuey is aiming to do with the formation. I'm pretty sure back 4 is set in stone, and we've had bids/links to strikers like the Celtic lad. Assuming we get someone like that, both he and Dalby will likely be starters, I doubt we're spending that kind of money on a sub. This im...
