He came on for 4 minutes against Mansfield and I don't think he touched the ball. Before that I'm not sure he'd played a minute in the league. I don't think he was ever brought in to be first choice, but he has been pretty anonymous.
The first 45 was great, two missed one on ones, mansfield hit the inside of the post twice, and then the penalty missed which knocked momentum out of us. Lots of slick passing and movement, actually felt like a League 1 game. When Mansfield got their first and were able to sit back, I think we...
Was convinced it was going to be a 3-0, just not the way it almost went. Was also convinced we'd bottled it after they scored one and then won a penalty within two minutes of it with the full back being sent off... penalty saved and about 5 or 6 players with cramp. Deffo raised our game for it...
I can't even get on it, probably for the best at the moment. Could be 3 or 4 if it wasnt for the woodwork and a bit of luck for us. I've yet to see us put a good 15 minutes of football together over two pre-season games and the first two games of the season, this team is not ready for the season...
There were a lot of rumours he was in for a medical yesterday. He playes different side to Fosu I think, and we're definitely in for one more attacking player, one more defender. So, I assume its still on, but nothing is done until its official.
We've signed Tarique Fosu on a one year deal. Believe who was hanging around Charlton training most of last year but been out of competetive football a bit after a move to Turkey and the US didn't materialise.
Also expecting Roshaun Mathurin to sign on loan, don't know if it'll be before the...
The little bit of form we got out of Morton was with him partnering Vadaine Oliver up front, I'm taking from that he's not as one dimensional as Oliver was?
Glad to know he we was well loved, Brady certainly values attackers who are willing to put in hard yards up front.
5 or so in the pipeline, including an ex-Championship Striker, a centre-back who would become one of a higher earners and a long shot who's previous deal just broke down. Feels like we're about to start making our actually headline transfers soon. No names however because we're tigher than a...
The good will he has for that bit of form through the play-offs will do him well to begin with, but he's done it no-where else. Hope it's a case of just fitting into the right place, and we just happen to be the club to get something fro . All three signings so far I'm a bit underwhelmbed by...
Yeah, not knocked off my feet with the signing at all, though our insider insists he's been eyed up as a back up option rather than as a first choice striker. Maybe killed the interest we had in Omari Patrick I guess/hope - the idea should be to sign players from non-league to unearth a gem and...
It's hard to compare because we literally haven't done any business. From the 11 players that made the most minutes last year we've lost Leonard, Sherring, Bowie, McWilliams, Simpson, so just under half (as well as Appere who was just outside the top 11 for minutes and 4 others who made less of...
Lorent Tolaj has signed for Port Vale. All a bit here say or rumours, but I think that's maybe the 3rd or 4th signing that has turned us down for League 2 so far. Feeling a bit like Crawley.
Honestly, I was feeling pretty miserable that we still haven't signed a player, but Crawley's plight look's very desperate. Still, games are played by 11 players on the pitch, not how much money you have.
I think the issue is more of the long of lines of how long will this pipeline exactly run for? Ticket income and to a lesser extent a proportion of TV money and central funding is forever, bringing in money from people in a foreign market's buying shirts in the middle of a popular documentary is...
I think Exeter are probably in a similar position to us financially in terms of having to wait until wages settle a bit. That said, we're lost 8 first teamers or squad players and brought no-one in, and have 0 Strikers on book, so we'd have to get a first signing in soon.
Even at 27, that seems...
Apparently there's a non-league striker we've been sniffing at that just had a League 2 club match their release clause. Seems to be a bit of indecisiveness of whether we'll try and match it or not. Look at the list, I can't see a lot of options out there that are at an age worth paying money...
As of this March they were over £19million in debt. I can't think of many clubs who aren't more dependent on their owners.
I think the only club who post a profit and aren't owner dependent are Exeter.
I think he just really loves big piles of cash. Like, I'm just fucking baffled by it. We were resigned for him going as he's on a free and a good age with plenty of experience, but there would definitely be League One clubs who could pay more than us that would have been interested.
Sam Sherring has turned down a contract to join a League 2 team (MK Dons apparently). He was on a few wishlists on here on a free I think as well, no fucking idea why he's gone down a league. Apparently it's not financially but that seems incredible unlikely.
