Re: Pre-season 2023-24

Trafford and Bradley who? We didn’t miss either of them tonight. I like the look of Baxter. He made 4 or 5 quality saves tonight backed by solid defenders. Santos in particular was excellent. Iredale and Jones steady defensively besides him and added more going forward. What I like with the seven in...

Re: The Forest Green Green Grass of Home? FGR, (H) 24/01/23 7.45pm

My take on Kachunga last night, he was stupid and we were lucky not to drop points. I personally thought he worked hard throughout but he certainly doesn’t do it at the same intensity as Charles or Dempsey. That doesn’t mean he is slacking off or not trying (in my opinion). With regards the cheering...

Re: January 2023 Transfer Window

Just having a quick scan around for potentials and wondering about that old Danny Ward link. Twas said he was happy to see out his contract but with Huddersfield signing two more strikers (as I noted re Tyreece Simpson) you wonder if he'd fancy the challenge. If we're waiting on his rehab then that...

Taking my lad to his first away game. He’s 14 and very excited.

Please don’t let us concede an early goal for both our sake’s.

Re: January 2023 Transfer Window

According to The 72 website, Alan Nixon has us linked with striker Danny Ward from Huddersfield. This is the same Danny Ward we had as a youngster before selling him on for around £1m back in 2011. He is not a prolific goalscorer but played most of his career in the Championship. A hard working forw...

Re: Wycombe to bury you, not praise you. Wycombe (h) Sat 6 Aug @3pm.

That said, I was a little surprised to see Baka get the nod, rather than JDB... My son and I were discussing this during the game (he is a Dad Bod fan). I think a factor could have been Baka’s defensive presence for Wycombe’s corners and free kicks. Dad Bod is good in the air but Baka is stronger a...

Re: Deal or no deal? - Summer 2022 Transfer gossip!

I have practically no time for Hill as a person, I wouldn't have ever appointed him, and I was relieved when he was let go. Despite that, I have a fair degree of sympathy with the idea he was hard done to during his spell here. I completely agree with you. The initial job Hill did to sign all those...

Re: Making HMS YouKnowWhat ship-shape: Winter 20/21 transfer thread

See, I think we're all in agreement that there's no ready-made replacement for Tutte amongst our midfielders - that the options are basically incapable of winning the ball in the middle of the pitch. As such, I think if I was Mr Evatt I'd be spending this week s eeing who out of the defensive optio...

Re: Crellin vs Rachubka

Who'd taken Aiden Davidson or Kevin Poole right now? Was it 93/94 when Aidan Davison played for most of the season? Not that I've any inclination to do this, but my mate reckons that if you watch the video back, you'll see that Davison is at fault in some way for every goal he let in. Sounds a bit ...

Re: Greg Clarke resigns

So 'people of colour' is OK, but 'coloured people' isn't. Who actually decides this? When we were growing up 'coloured' was the accepted or polite term for non-whites. I know things change but I do think he was harshly treated if that was the only reason. He does sound a bit of a tool though. It is...

Don't know anything about him and never seen him play, but if he's after first team football I'll pay for his cab to the UniBol myself.

That's a broken link.

Re: Crellin vs Rachubka

Pre Rioch, theres a few contenders for the goalkeeper's shirt, but since he's similar to Crellin (decent shot stopper, hopeless in the air), I'll start with wee Simon. Farnworth Whitworth Sutton Lydiate Deakin Bell Cantello Train Storer Rudge Moores I'd be squeezing Paul Comstive into that midfield...

Re: The Politics Thread

Joe Biden is going to be the oldest President ever. Only Reagan was a similar age but that was after his second term. I personally think he may not finish his full term meaning they could have their first female President. The fact that Biden has only just beaten Trump by the skin of his teeth says ...

Re: Summer 2020 transfers

From what I can gather by that video is that he like to turn players on the edge of his own box and fairly recklessly slide into tackles. Red cards and giving away penalties if he tries that with the crap refs we get.

Recommend everyone watches Adam Seniors interview. If ever there was a lad made up at simply playing for his hometown club that’s it. Really hope he does well and makes it here.

He adds versatility can play CB or RB/LB in a back four which we might not play much but might sometimes. I think it’s shrewd. Experienced and knows Evatt. Have to say the club have absolutely excelled this summer. Getting a new management team squad together with more than a month to go and absolu...
