Taylor playing left back. Definitely a 4-2-3-1.

Wanderers Youtube feed is annoyingly reversed.

ACD at #2? That is, as you say, upsetting. Right sided, yes, but left footed and far too attacking for that number. Let's hope someone sees the light before it's too late... Otherwise, good sleuthing! I appreciate it, even if nobody else does :grin: Maybe SS has visited this forum and thought "Feck...

I'll see if I can find one of the cottage they're staying in. Cheers. And would it kill you to rustle up a cottage pie? The 36 looks to me like Daeshon Lawrence (who last year wore 54), but as I say my facial recognition skillz aren't 'crack'. Probably just me and thee interested in this, DSB - buy...

I'd welcome Rankin-Costello. Good experience, very versatile. And would add to our increasing ranks of double-barrelled surnames and three-letter signifiers. JRC, TSL, JDC, JOT, ACD, CMG... technically also CFJ (Chris Forino-Joseph) and SSA (Sonny Sharples-Ahmed), though they're both known by their ...

Cottaging a thing on here? :shock: Very pleasant. Forgot about Ceesay. Has tended to be 21 (currently Forino) or 24 – currently open but may also be coveted by Johnny Kenny, who's worn it at Celtic and Shamrock over the last four seasons. But Ceesay might get here first... so maybe Kenny goes 19......

I actually saw an image of Xav Simons in training, wearing #24 on his shorts.

Could be a placeholder, like.

truewhite15

He's got a good engine, he's versatile, he's rarely injured, he leads the team and he's shown loyalty in the past.

I'd be genuinely upset if he left - especially to a team we anticipate being a promotion rival.

All slotting into place quite nicely. Left back is still the glaring hole - unless Conway's stock has risen so high that we're now happy with him as 1st choice, with Szabi and youth as back-ups, or Szabi himself is in contention with Conway as deputy? Similar at right back, where a JDC injury leaves...

Watching what Ceesay clips are available online, I'm not even sure he's left-footed. He's certainly very comfortable on his right, sometimes even seeming to prefer it when both options are available. For example, his only goal this season is a right-foot 20-yarder that might arguably have been easi...

I suppose the question is, is Ceesay coming in as another defensive midfielder (in which case he's in direct competition with Simons, Thomason, Morley and Sheehan), which would indicate that we're likely looking at two holding midfielders to start... Or is he coming in as our new starting left back...

Just told my daughter that there's bad news, that it looks like Luke is leaving.

She looked up briefly from her tablet, said "oh", and returned to her game.

Crisis averted, then...

If we have a start like last year, there's a fair old chance we'll get a finish like last year too! :-( There's already folk predicting Schumacher will be out by October and Darby installed as caretaker. And that's without getting into the new-kit brouhaha. New kit brouhaha? Ne'er mind. Just seen i...

I'd love to win another trophy. Obviously the FA Cup and League Cup are absolute pipe-dreams, but maybe we can get in a couple of performances worthy of David before the inevitable knock-out. The FL Trophy could be achievable - Schumacher took Plymouth to the final whilst also winning the league, so...

Personally wouldn't like to see Southwood go. He's a good bloke, nice to chat to. He's not a bad keeper at this level. And my daughter would be heartbroken - she's already feeling the pain of both Baxter and Collins going. But I guess it's one of those "no room for sentiment" situations. If he feels...

…and then you pick your second XI and you see where the deep holes are… Southwood Forrester - Forino - Johnston Sheehan CMG - Randall - Sharples - Lolos McAtee - Abimbola Leaving out Nlundulu of those fit, and Vic and Dempsey as the crocks. Square pegs a-plenty. A side leaker than a broken colander...

I'm actually reasonably happy with the spine of the side now. TSL, Taylor, Simons and Dalby come highly recommended for both strength and skill. Paired with Toal, Morley and Tomo, that's not a core that's likely to be waltzed through all that regularly (I hope). Obviously, if some absolute crackers ...
