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

Yep. Leaves us needing not just a couple of strikers and a goalkeeper, but a genuine 1st team defensive midfielder too.

Proper bummed out about this one.

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

The club is always more important than any individual player. If he goes, and we're able to reinvest, then OK. That being said, I'd be gutted to see Thomo go. He's a better player than many give credit for. Personally hope it's another Bristol situation, where he turns them down even if the bid is a...

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

Expect some news in the next few days. Genuinely hope that's not the rumours which have suddenly started circulating in certain locations on Twitter that Thomason has gone... Wrexham is the team doing the rounds. Presumably we'd be asking for significantly more dosh off that mob. And yet some of ou...

Re: Pre-season 2025

Another observation. In neither of the two (streamed) pre-season games thus far has McAtee played as the lone striker we appear to be setting up for. He's come on as the #10, behind first Daeshon Lawrence and then Charlie Warren. Admittedly, he did play a short amount of time alongside Lawrence vs t...

Re: Pre-season 2025

It's noteworthy that in both pre-season games thus far, Schumacher has played with one right footer and one left footer at CB, with a dedicated RB/LB and inverted wingers. Clearly a system at work. And with only two left footed centre backs available to us (three if you count Taylor) then it's clear...

Re: Pre-season 2025

Didn’t see the game bar 5-10 first-half minutes (which let’s say weren’t enough to change my mind that Schon is a nice kid without much of a clue). Help a brother out: did Warren, replacing Daeshon Lawrence, therefore play at 9? Did he stay there when the other subs came on, with McAtee at 10? And ...

Re: Pre-season 2025

Simons and Thomason looking a better duo than Morley and Sheehan.

Impressed with Gale so far. Likewise Warren - playing in very much an unfavoured role, but has done very well. I thought he was a nailed on B-teamer when he signed. I'm not so sure now.

Re: Pre-season 2025

Given that we're playing with inverted wingers, I'm surprised (and a little disappointed) with the number of times we've ignored the overlapping full back. CMG and Schon both guilty of overcomplicating it rather than feeding the full back to hit the byline.

Re: Pre-season 2025

Still not seeing an awful lot from Randall. Agree that Schon has been pretty poor so far - well, he's alright up until the final ball. Morley playing a few wayward passes too. Lawrence not being given any service. Not all doom and gloom, like. We've been far and away the better side here. Not sure ...

Re: Pre-season 2025

Interesting that in both games so far, Osei-Tutu has been played at right-back. Perhaps Schumacher not seeing him as the out-and-out winger he was last season.

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

Wonder whether Hutchinson's departure on loan means that we're close to making a decision on this trialist keeper - Nathan Broomes, is it?

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

Cheers Tony & Bertie. The rumour that GT is wanted by Huddersfield has raised its head again. More than likely it is just a rumour. My hunch and it’s no more than a hunch is that we looked at Ceesay primarily in case GT left - I suspect that he was the replacement and that it’s not happening may me...

Re: Pre-season 2025

Did Taylor play left back? I know its only pre season and positions are a bit more flexible but does this hint that its Conway/Taylor/Johnston for LB aligning with Schumachers "4 Centre backs" comment. Taylor played left back in the 1st half, Conway in the 2nd. Both looked good. Johnston played at ...
