You’re entiltled to an opinion of course but it is draining. Its every post. We are not out of anything in terms of the league. Yes when games have caught up i believe we can drop as low as 10th, but moneys being made available

I don’t though. I just call you out, you miserable, illiterate fool.

Right. I’ll retract it. I mean, I’ve seen far, far worse on here in terms of ‘name calling’ that you haven’t commented on, but it’s your call Rob obviously. Maybe ‘semi literate’ would have been more accurate.  I love the range of views but this poster just spouts endless, draining negativity and criticism and doom and has done for years and years. It’s an absolutely tedious and pointless contribution. There’s no balance, or evolution of opinions or ever any credit or anything remotely hopeful.

The player we splashed cash out for was Bogle. That worked pretty well as I recall. We got promoted and then made £750k profit selling him.

I think that qualifies as a good investment.



Or it could be interpreted as a good investment as the result of a shrewd speculation 😉

It definitely sounds like we are going to spend money and look for players that are going to be here for the next 18 months or so at least. I’m not saying a lot of money but it sounds like that will be the approach going on what we have heard from PH, JS and AP.

Just looking at the squad you would expect there to be a goal scorer at the top of the list. We are stacked for wingers. Central midfield is light and worse still if Hunt leaves. Defence I think we can get away with - not sure we would spend any money we do have on a centre half when we have Waterfall, Pearson and DLK and I think we are sorted for full backs.

So, striker and quality central midfielder, please!

We are stacked for wingers however it's rather unfortunate that three of them happen to be Wright, Scannel and Grant who when you put them together you probably end up with 0.5 FTE winger.

I wouldn't want to rely on any of those so I think we need at least one left sided winger to ho along with two central midfielders to replace Coke and Hunt and the obvious requirement for a striker.

Quoted from Zmariner
I thought that the tone of the Pettit interview was signings as opposed to loans. I have never been a fan of having this many loans , Hurst made a big mistake here in my opinion.
Problem is that we need a mobile centre half,a central midfielder who is actually a better footballer and more creative than the ones we have got as well as another forward. Possibly a winger as well As I have no faith whatsoever in Scannel and  Grant This will be a tough January shopping list but the lack of signings preseason has created this problem. I am hopeful that Hurst will fix this, He will need to as his neck is on the line utm


I always see loans as in the same boat as those on short-term deals, as in a year or less.  They're trying to impress to the point that they get a deal a look-in elsewhere.  It's a shop window kinda thing.   In terms of long-term planning, it's not ideal but on the other hand you've got a ready made incentive for them to impress (let's not get into an argument that they should always want to impress....).

As long as you've got a balance of a core that are part of that longer term plan and the shorter term players, some of whom may become part of the longer term vision, I think it's fine.  At the minute I can't say there's a noticeable imbalance.

When we went up in 2016 I'd argue that our 3 best performers that season were either on loan (Townsend), on a one-year contract (Amond) or a very short-term contract (Nolan).  If we came out of the transfer window with 3 players of the ilk of those 3 I would be very, very happy.

Scannell is fully fit, I heard it from his own mouth at the Oaklands last weekend…he said his face just doesn’t fit, only came here for Holloway.



Shame he didn't step up for his mate Holloway then, isn't it?
