Re: Take your Mac to Fleetwood. Away 07-12-21. 7-45.

The worst thing is it isn’t a one off it’s every feck* away game at the moment. Tactically clueless and players who aren’t up for it. I’m not convinced at all by the players or the manager. Not at all. Dibs this is a very good post - by far the most accurate post over the past few months. The manag...

Re: Sprats v Mackerels..V Fleetwood at home. 31-11-21. 7 O'clock

Dibs, personally I don't give a shite about if they are young, been suspended, or just come back from injury - with the amount of injuries we have and with league games being far more important to risk so many 1st team players in a meaningless game that most fans don't give a toss about (see crowd f...

Re: Sprats v Mackerels..V Fleetwood at home. 31-11-21. 7 O'clock

Absolutely stupid and ridiculous decision (IMO) by Evatt to play such a strong team in such a shite, meaningless competition, if we pick up more injuries tonight he can't complain about a lack of numbers for league games moving forward. Surely he should have rested Lee, Dapo, John, Doyle etc. I real...

Re: Dem Bones, Dem Bones, Dem Bare Bones....

If we are really desperate can we not register Sam Hird as a player to fill a spot on the bench ?, or can that not be done outside of the transfer windows ? He's probably not fit but he's only just turned 34 and played last season for Barrow and can play CB & DM - surely he could play 10-15 mins sho...

Re: Exchanging Corn...V Doncaster at home, 23/11/21 8 'O clock.

Good & important win even against 10 men, we looked a lot better with Johnston in midfield he looks comfortable in that position and should start there on Saturday. I thought that everyone played well, but it was easy against a very poor side down to 10 men - it actually should have been 4 or 5. Hop...

Re: Summer 2021 Transfer Thread.

Also a bit iffy, Clayton. Not had a good season in years and sat on his wage at Birmingham whilst training on his own. I mean his manager was Lee Bowyer, so it was probably Bowyer's fault; but I'd be wary if we signed him. Arguably the right type of player, though. It's not an option anyway if Nich...

Re: Summer 2021 Transfer Thread.

I know signing out of contract players is viewed as being folly (if that's the right word ?), but surely we need to be looking at bringing in an out of contract midfield player this week (tomorrow !). Someone like Adam Clayton just released by B/Ham surely he is relatively fit having only been relea...

Re: Not the only Wanderers..v Wycombe away 20-Nov 3-O clock.

noted Toby Brittany was engaging on Twitter last night promising signings. I saw he was saying "keep the faith" or some such. Where did he promise signings? I've just had a look and he said 'remember where we were this time last year. keep the faith' but I can't see anything about promising signings.

Re: Not the only Wanderers..v Wycombe away 20-Nov 3-O clock.

We make the same mistakes & keep conceding the same type of soft goals week after week. We keep putting ourselves under pressure by the keeper and back four playing this tippy tappy sideways & backwards football which slows everything down in regards to tempo & intensity, and a lot of the times they...

Re: Summer 2021 Transfer Thread.

With Sheehan done for the season, MJ out and Baka gone for up to two months, January is starting to look very different. We need to do something before January. Because how many wins can we get before them with Lee as our only midfield player? Thomason not good enough and Johnston a poor centre hal...

We lack lads who will drive the rest of the side on to battle, but that doesn't mean the lads we have can't scrap . We have players who will do that, but who need the tone setting - preferably by a right nasty bastard or two at the heart of the team. There's a real "baby out with the bathwater" thi...

This will be a heavy loss IMO regardless of the poor run that Wycombe have been on - I would suspect 3-0 Wycombe at least.

Re: Summer 2021 Transfer Thread.

IMO as a minimum we need 6 in January. We need a new keeper as Dixon isn't good enough, big enough or commanding enough for me, a RB, a big powerful no nonsense hard CB, 2 x central midfielders (one big aggressive tough DM & a creative midfielder) and a least 1 x striker hopefully over 6ft tall who ...
