Re: Can we be Imp-erious this season? Lincoln, H, 05/08
Thought we were excellent today - very professional and well-drilled. No bad performances in there at all I don't think. Lincoln were shite though. Shouts out to Santos (again!), Iredale, Williams and JDC Also - were Lincoln the softest team every to grace the Reebok, or have we developed a bit more...

Re: Pre-season 2023-24
Well, surely all but the most pessimistic on here (you know who you are....) would say that's anything other than a pretty good pre-season eh? Don't think we've lost, we've kicked on in each successive game, beating a Championship and holding our won against a Premier League team. Plenty of quality ...

Re: Pre-season 2023-24
It doesn't matter what actually happened or not - our pessimist friend has obviously decided that Vic & Dan are his first targets that aren't fit to wear the shirt, not good enough for league 1, pub-team standard etc etc etc. Don't worry, he'll soon move on. I reckon he'll be back onto Santos next -...

Re: Snog, Marry, Avoid: Summer 2023 Transfer Window
i'm no worse in centre mid than any other position.....

Re: Snog, Marry, Avoid: Summer 2023 Transfer Window
Dack would be an ‘out there’ signing for Evatt in many ways. I can’t see it. But then I suspect we might be in the ‘slightly desperate’ category. Pretty much identical to Lee's signing, isn't it? A player vastly above the level we're at, but so hampered by injuries that he might be attainable. I’d ...

Re: Snog, Marry, Avoid: Summer 2023 Transfer Window
Why are we prejudging a transfer window halfway through it? Why are we prejudging promotion before we're halfway through preseason friendlies? Most of us aren't. Its just a couple...... I for one, mind, will be at Chester at the weekend, looking forward to cheering on the team who achieved greatly ...

Re: Pre-season 2023-24
We sold Dapo and ended up with Shoretire. Aimson went and we got Mbete. I’m not convinced we always get this right frankly. To be fair, when we announced Shoretire I seem to remember a fair bit of excitement at the prospect and I also had a few Utd supporting mates who said he'd be a great signing ...

Re: Pre-season 2023-24
I accept I now say this and *could* be proved wrong, but do you not think IE et al have thought of this? They presumably have a plan, lets leave them to putting it into place. I very much doubt they are sat there picking their arses and just letting players go willy-nilly without a care in the world...

Re: Snog, Marry, Avoid: Summer 2023 Transfer Window
The article doesn’t say ‘both players’ far as I can see. No, it doesn't and I did wonder why I'd not noticed it when I listened. I was going off DSB's quote. Pleased to be corrected. Or Evatt did say "both" originally, including when DSB pasted the article, and he's since been alerted to it and the...

Re: Snog, Marry, Avoid: Summer 2023 Transfer Window
That to me leaves us weaker than last season and we need to be stronger with better players in key areas. I don’t think that it’s controversial to say this. Most fans seem to think the same. Most? If we assume we average 18,000 a game, you've heard it from at least 9,001 that they are underwhelmed ...

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...
