Re: Snog, Marry, Avoid: Summer 2023 Transfer Window

You wanna talk to the fella who spent most of yesterday saying we'd spent too much on a striker. A striker who didn’t deliver last season. We need to be better. That means signing better players. Heaven help us if we ever managed to go up with a manager scared of changing a budget ceiling. So go on...

Re: Pre-season 2023-24

Anyone know how we sort tickets for the Chester away game? Searched on ours and their web sites but not seen anything? Or is it a lottery to just turn up on the day?

Re: Snog, Marry, Avoid: Summer 2023 Transfer Window

Not convinced at all. Clearly the club want to be automatic promotion candidates this season. That places an immediate need onto Nlundulu’s shoulders to deliver. Not in a year or two’s time but now. I think it’s a big big gamble. Has some of the right attributes but seen a lot like that down the ye...

Re: Snog, Marry, Avoid: Summer 2023 Transfer Window

I'm really pleased we've signed N'lundulu - as others have said I think there's a player in there and hopefully he'l massively benefit from a full pre-season with us. Evatt & the team haven't got many wrong, and they must see something in there to commit to a 3 yr deal. Just hope people get behind h...

Re: Shirty McShirtface: Help pick the Wanderers' kits for next season

I'm torn between 1 or 3 for home (don't like proper collars on kits). I'd prefer a bit of red on #1 (maybe on the bands on the sleeves?). 3 is maybe a bit too much Yankees baseball..... Main consideration for me is that we retain the navy shorts with a predominantly white top. I'm quite a fan of the...

Re: Snog, Marry, Avoid: Summer 2023 Transfer Window

At 32, Ward isn't the kid who left. I'd be surprised if he was on our hit list, given we have Bod and Jerome... Probably best Danny isn't the kid who left considering why we kicked him out and I'd not sign him, personally. However, Evatt was keen at one stage. Not suggesting he was never on IE's hi...

Re: Snog, Marry, Avoid: Summer 2023 Transfer Window

Probably worth noting that Hart has whipped off the fig leaf and is now just saying The Bond is primarily being spent on players. Infrastructure spending is "secondary." So we've crowdfunded a transfer budget and (from my experience talking to people) mislead a lot of people about what they were bu...

Season ticket questions....

All Quick question on season tickets if I may.... I've taken the plunge for next season and bought the family season tickets - not had one for a long number of years but we're now able to get to enough games to make it worthwhile, so I've bitten the bullet. Being late to the party the choice wasn't ...

Re: We shall not be moved. Play-off away to Barnsley,Fri, 19th May, 20-00

I think we can get promoted next season, but I’m not confident. We need perhaps seven new players, and probably need the majority of them to be of Championship level ability. That’s a tall order. Why do we think we have the right to get 7 players in who are of the quality of the league above us? Ou...

Barry Bannan had a dig at their lot from the away leg for singing "You're not fit to wear the shirt", which was nice to see.

Hopefully we can have them singing it again when we thump them 4-0 at Wembley.
Don't be so stupid, I reckon they'll score. 4-1 will the final score......

Re: The Real War of the Roses , the Play-Offs Part One, V Barnsley at home Sat 13th May 3-0 clock.

Disappointing. The best atmosphere at the Reebok since the Atletico Madrid game an nod the players just didn't rise to it. No tempo, again, no creativity, again. Yet another keeper goes home without getting his gloves mucky. We're still in it, so some hope. This 100%, absolutely immense support - i...

Re: Pints, Punts and Points. Home v Cambridge United, Easter Monday 3-0'clock

Keep coming back to Mbete signing. We let Aimson go cos he had a great offer. Fair play. But he was a solid 7/10 never let you down experienced defender. We replaced him with a kid who looks like he’s playing with his shoelaces tied together. And he’s played a fair bit too. We also knew Johnston wa...
