All of Cleethorpes' goals look soft to me.

Just a quick thank you to Humberside police for allowing the game to go ahead, assume the Waltham W.I. flower arranging meeting didn't overstretch them along with the local derby (note to South Yorks police)

I await the inevitable comments about it being "only pre season" and "give him a chance" etc which is true but you just get the feeling that Robles will be a terrible terrible signing probably worse than any of Slades signings, He didn't have a good scoring record in Spain at a level which is probably Sunday league standard and he's failed in the conference south in England, if Slade signed him he would have been crucified for it.
And you've come to this conclusion based on a 45 minute showing in the very first pre-season game in which he played with guys he's never player with before?!? Wow Aaron... Just wow!! Can I ask.. Did you also write off Carl Magnay when he started poorly? Shaun Pearson when he looked out of his depth before finding his feet? Liam Hearn who didn't score for the first 10 games of his Town career until he got to know his team mates a little more, or more importantly they got to know him? Or the countless other player that have started poorly but gone on to be very good players for town? I know we all want instant success etc etc but give the guy a chance for goodness sake!!! What will that do for Robles' confidence if he goes on the Fishy tonight and reads your scathing remarks?!? All Town aren't we?!? |

Looking at trialists and new signings in possibly unfair conditions, e.g.poor pitch and ref.
Koiki - Very promising
Waring - Links play well but no better than what we have.
Whitmore - Good headers and communication
Davis - Right back/central cover? not a starter
Fox - very rusty and poor recovery speed
Welsh - as above
Woolford - slow and little interaction with rest of midfield
Whitehouse - fit and hardworking
Hessenthaler - neat, lightweight?
Cook - steady,
Robles - links well, no goal threat
Wright - selfless energy, needs a trick or two.

Just for the record, in my opinion Magnay started off well for us but I know others don't agree, I don't think Pearson was too bad for us in his first season, Hearn showed good glimpses despite not scoring, Clay impressed me in pre season so I didn't quite understand the negative comments when he signed.
Also all of those came here having already played well in the conference for other clubs or excelled in the league below, Robles doesn't look like that with only 6 goals in 33 games in a very very very poor league in Spain.
Obviously I would love to be proved wrong and I will be sure to eat humble pie if he does prove me wrong.

What makes you such an expert on lower league Spanish football Aaron? I'd be interested to know how many full games you watched in the league Robles has just left over the past couple of years that leads you to label it 'very very very poor'?!? |

You obviously never saw Magnay and Clay in their first pre-season game for us, I think it was at Brigg but can't remember, It's an age thing  .Everyone was commenting after the game how bad they both were. |

I'm the last one to stick up for Aaron, but on this he has a very valid point. Do a couple of trips a year to malaga and quite often watch c.d. el palo. Also seen Oviedo in segunda division b. If Robles can't score in tercera division he's not got a snowball chance in hell of being a goalscorer in div 2. It is very definitely conference south or southern prem standard |

Has everybody forgotten how hard the players will have been worked this week? Of course they looked jaded - where was Cardwell by the way?

I can only guess he has a knock or strain from a weeks hard training? The loanee from Luton didnt appear or Akheem Rose either? |
