The signings of Hearn, Connell, Hannah, LJL, Palmer, Almond and Bogle was met with lots of derision on The Fishy when they joined us but they all scored goals for us.
Thomas is a good signing for the position the club is in.
The fact is we are, at this moment in a time, a bottom half 2nd division team and will lose out on a high percentage of signings due to our recent football history, money available for signings  etc.
Another factor is this is Jolleys first full season in charge of a English football team and a lot of players will never have heard of him so maybe are unsure about how long he will be the manager.
Personally I think he has made some decent signings which will ensure we finish mid table this season and with a few new signings next season will see us push for the play offs as a minimum

Here's a video of all goals he scored for Oxford last season.

Some excellent centre forward play and finishing IMO.

I don't remember any decision on the signing of most of them quite the opposite!

Really? Are we supposed to blindly agree with everything the club does without any word of criticism?

I happen to think Wes Thomas is a good signing, however you might as well give Robles' shirt to one of the youth team kids like Burrell or Paul-Jones.

For me, support means that I want us to win every game and sign the best players possible within our means. However, current circumstances (lowly League 2 club with apparently moderate budget, crap ground & training facilities) mean that some turn us down. These are facts - doesn't mean I'm not a supporter - just a fuckingfrustrated one.


Read back what you’ve written, how do you know we’ve not signed “the best players possible within our means” ?

How is your comment and similar ones previously supportive? How do you know that people on and off the pitch aren’t doing everything thing they can within their powers to take us forward?

You like many others don't so maybe just maybe it’s time to give other people some time to get things right on the best way they know.

We all want better but picking fault in everything the club does is stupid.

Happy with this signing welcome Wes, scored at championship and league 1 level, still youngish at 31 and as for the journeyman tag well the club cant win with some dumbfooks ,get a young lad in and its "not a proven goa scorer blah blah, get someone older ands it "more clubs than Tiger Woods, journeyman blah blah.and its always the same sad losers making the same sad comments .
P.S I would give Pammy the best 20 seconds she's ever had(I wish) UTM, now lets smash the gimps

Would that be including 4play ?

Some good finishes on that video. Just need to make sure we create enough chances for him.

4play? We have plenty of 4play in our house. It's the best way to catch up with those Channel 4 programmes you've missed.

That's balderdash isn't it. Hearn, Hannah, Bogle were all received very positively when their signings were announced. Connell, Palmer, LJL and Amond were met with a 'who?' but no derision. Almond might be a different matter: he was nuts.

A few of us derided LJL after he was signed granted.

I always thought 4 play was when one of our strikers had a shot and the crowd alarmingly shouted 4.


When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”
