Re: Schu me the way to Amarillo - Summer 2025 Transfer Thread

I'd move Schon on if at all possible. I'm not sure he does anything particularly well and, crucially, he takes up one of the two slots we have available for European nationals.

Re: Pointing the way. Stevenage at home Sat, 3rd May 3-0'clock

Finishing 8th is about par for this team. Thomasson, Matete, Johnston and Murphy were the best out there for us today. Missed 3 absolute sitters. Even with this soft team of ours we create lots of chances in this division. But we also concede a lot. God knows what Schuey can do about this in the su...

Re: Pointing the way. Stevenage at home Sat, 3rd May 3-0'clock

Another very good and honest post match from SS, he's clearly not happy and knows exactly what's needed - it won't be easy shifting the deadwood but I suspect that we may have at least 6 or 7 new starters next season. Watching his face and his body language on the side lines today, I also suspect t...

If they can't take criticsm they're in the wrong job, bus the fcukers out.

Just to be clear, I'm not talking the sort of abuse from fans, Santos was getting and the horrible shit Kacha used to get. I'm talking the manager setting minimum acceptable standards.

Indeed.

Re: Green means go...Away to Lincoln , Mon 21st Apr. 3-0'clock.

John McAtee, the summer's clutch signing, has shown the sum total of bugger all since he's come on. Again, he's hardly alone. His substitute partner, Klaidi Lolos (another whose versatility, we were told, would make a crucial difference in comparison to last season) has done similarly nothing. Kion...

Re: Green means go...Away to Lincoln , Mon 21st Apr. 3-0'clock.

We've lost seven of the last ten at the business end of the season, and now eighteen in total.

Given the outlay, it really is a pathetic return.

Re: A Roving, A Roving. Away to Bristol, Tues Mar 11th 19-45

I'm pleased to read there might be some rotation and that there is a focus on maintaining energy levels.

I got the impression on Saturday that for a few, tonight's fixture might just be a match too far.

Re: Division Three, 2024/25

Huddersfield sack Duff. Is this good or bad for us? I guess bad. They've just announced their Academy manager will be stepping up until the end of the season. With the caveat that I know nothing about his credentials, I'd assume a rival sacking an experienced manager and replacing him with a youth ...

The fact they didn’t close off the loophole is entirely the governments fault at the time.

There is no loophole. The family in question were granted asylum on the basis of the right to a family life under Article 8 of the HRA.

It was a bizarre exchange between the two leaders.

Schumacher told McAtee, Collins and Randall they’d been poor at half time and that two would be taken off during the second half. The old mind games seem to have worked on McAtee.

I like stuff like this. Very Bruce Rioch that. Go earn your shirt.

Re: Far from the Madding Crowd. Away at Shrewsbury, Sat 15th Feb,3-0'clock

Not good at all.

We just haven't been able to get s hold on things and can have no complaints at going a goal down.

Murphy doesn't look like he knows what he's supposed to be doing and I can only agree with the comments on McAtee.

It looks to me like a team set up specifically to counter an Ainsworth team.

Trusted Twitter source, ‘Agent McGee’, is suggesting Markham might be on his way out.

I'm not sure he's quite the trusted source he claims to be but it does seems to be correct.

Re: Contract expiry

Don't see why that should be the case though. On him pomp he's superb. We don't know how much his relationship with IE was strained, especially with taking the captaincy off him, and now he has a new manager who he has essentially a clean slate with (& who managed against Santos when he was perhaps...

Re: Contract expiry

I get the impression the ship has sailed with Santos and both parties feel it's in their interest to move on in the summer.
