Don’t see any signs of hysteria, just a large helping of common sense amongst the majority of people. Exceptions being the government, the ‘I’m immune’ youngsters and the “couldn’t care less” brigade.
Still a few days left for a last minute rush, YOUR forum needs YOU.
It’s less than 4p per day to join – fantastic value and a welcome distraction from the dire football we’ve been watching lately.
Yes, I thought we were going to operate with a smaller squad. Looks certain that there will be outgoings to get numbers down, have we already signed replacements for Gillead, Eisa, McGahey, KVV and McAtee? Still need 2 more in IMO.
Regarding salary cap, *I think I read that U23s are not included* so we’re probably well under if that’s the case, as plenty of the squad could be on U23 contracts.
The thing about Crewe was that their young players had been playing together for a few years before making the first team. Most of ours likely to be in L2 were strangers until a couple of weeks ago.
A few observations following earlier posts:-
FBs – we have 3 for 2 positions, 1 permacrock & 2 inexperienced
CBs – 4 for 2 positions, ideal number except that 2 are injured and only 1 has much league experience, can’t see anything other than a short-term loan to cover.
WMFs – 5 for 2 positions, 1 too many, all right footed. (I’ve got Green & Dales in there)
CMFs – 6 for 2 positions, too many, minimal league experience.
Ss – 5 for 2 positions, too many as we would have Eisa/Green in an emergency.
Suggestions:-
GK – Sign one, loan out youngster.
FB – Sign one/two
CB – re-sign Song’o
WMF – One out (Not Eisa/Gillead)
CM – Loan out two youngsters, sign one experienced ( see CB also)
S – One out.
Total – 7 out 6/7 in. Over to you Mr. Chairman.
BS is a purist, he takes it seriously and gives it thought. Not everybody treats it the same, for example misterton mick, Sanfran and myself consider predicting an Iron win to be the kiss of death and so don’t do it. If The Iron have a winning season we have no chance in the PL but it’s a good swap for on-field success. (Hang on how come mick, Sf and me weren’t 1-2-3 in the PL last season? Other results obviously went against us!)
Yep, right result but wrong score is 6 points for a win prediction so make it the same for a draw.
How many entered so far Matt? Plenty of ‘views’ on the thread but how much action?
Come on – support The Bru!!!
The same keyboard warriors said the same about Sam Johnstone.
They also slated the likes of Charlie Goode and Cameron Burgess who are both now playing in a higher division.
I’m sure there’s plenty more examples too.
One day the penny might drop that they should SUPPORT young players rather than try to destroy them!
You seem to forget that this is a football forum providing an opportunity for supporters to express their opinions. If the players don’t read Bru then they shouldn’t be affected by any criticism should they? Am I expected to pretend players are up to the job when, from what I see, they’re not. Johnstone, Goode and Burgess were poor (IMO) in an Iron shirt but might have improved, I don’t know I haven’t seen them.
Out of interest are you somebody who goes to the same poor restaurant time after time hoping they’ll eventually learn to cook and serve properly?
