Re: Who opened the door? My money is on Janus! 2024 January transfer thread.
Gutted for Dan, just as he was starting to come into his own. Got to be at least one striker signing next month then - Dion, Vic and Bod are the only ones we've got who most would trust to pose any sort of danger. All respect to Cameron, but he's a distant emergency option at best. As Ghost says (an...

Re: Who opened the door? My money is on Janus! 2024 January transfer thread.
Decent loanees to cover the potential/probable absences of CMG, Jones and Iredale. Possibly another striker, possibly another hard-tackling midfielder. But definitely loan cover for our wandering Wanderers.

Matheson has tweaked a hamstring. Said it was hopefully short term, but he didn't look hopeful about being back for TuesdayDave Sutton's barnet wrote: ↑Sun Dec 03, 2023 4:23 pmWould like to see Matheson on Tuesday. Ashworth too. Need more evidence to see what they’re made of.

Or another way to look at it - a game against a side we could well play twice in the league next season. Possibly even scrapping against for promotion, if we progress at the rate we're all hoping.

Side towards the bottom of the Prem, struggling for form, possibility of them prioritising the league. Chance of a proper upset there. Maybe the TV companies might see it the same way.
Not the best draw, but it could have been worse.

I think he'll go pretty strong for the FA Cup. Coleman, one of two others, maybe a look at Bod with Dion, maybe Forrester, a few other maybes but strong. And then ring the changes for Port Vale (albeit we're in a place where we have good options). See, I'd have thought it would be the other way aro...

Re: Whatever floats your boat.. V Oxford United, Tuesday 28th Nov.7-45.
I'd probably rather have Traff, tbh, but Nathan has been a great signing and looks well capable of performing at Championship level. Just for clarity (because I can see where this could very quickly end up) I'm not saying I'd rather have Baxter over Trafford right now. I just meant in terms of the ...

I do find the argument that "yeah, our squad looks alright now, but look how weak it was when we had three or four players out injured" rather curious.

Re: Its not the Hatters that Matter but anther win on the spin. Bolton v Stockport EFL Cup away Tues 14th Nov 7:30pm
Anybody got any idea what sort of standard we're playing against here? I know the Stockport boss was talking about changes, but are we essentially playing against the County reserves or are we putting a decent side to the sword? 11 changes. We’re playing a Fourth Division reserve side. You can only...

Re: No Gooseberries at Shrewbury. Away to Shrewsbury Tuesday 7th Nov 7-45.
Manager of 2nd placed Oxford Utd walks out to join Bristol City. Can only be good news for us.
In other news of the sort that I didn't know where else to put it, our away fixture vs Portsmouth is now a Monday night, live on Sky. Could be a top-of-the-table clash by then!

Ah! Noted! On the subject of players scoring, how were the forwards today? Nlundulu held it up well at times, but still has the annoying habit of trying to do too much with the ball at his feet - just trying to beat one man too many, trying one trick too many, rather than laying it off or hitting i...

Beware David. Solihull Moors, H, 04/11/23, 3pm (FAC R1)
A match thread. One not to be taken lightly - Solihull are 4th in the National League, albeit a long way off the top two, and giants have frequently been taken down by little blokes with slings and rocks in this competition. That said, we should have enough. I'd give starts to all the perennial back...

Re: Dem Bones, Dem Bones, Dem Bare Bones....
Not to belittle the opposition at all, but I'd certainly be looking into appearances for both Matheson and Khumbeni here. I would start young Luke - he's impressed off the bench thus far, and it seems to me like a game against a non-league opponent should be a prime one to give him his first start. ...
