Summer 2023 Transfer Rumours

Long way to go and lets face it, completely wrong already about Pattison. You wrote him off...

PS we beat Accrington.

 

Last night showed we massively need a lwb the balance just wasn’t right first half , Gillead always having to cut back just slowing momentum

 

We did draw to be fair, can’t say otherwise when the game finished 1-1…..,

 

Beat me to it

 

Who is in the second round draw we won the tie

 

On penalties.. we drew in normal time. It’s completely different way of winning.

 

Anyway if winning is the correct way of winning, it’s not even a debate worth having.

 

Draw your away games and win your home games is promotion form. An away point (and could have won it) is good no doubt.

 

The record books say we won the game. Its as simple as that.

If the game had gone to extra time and we had scored to win the game 2-1 would you still be claiming it was a draw??? Dont confuse league games with cup games.

 

We need 3 quality loan players - pacy CB, LWB and ST. Next 2 weeks are pivotal, get the recruitment right and we should have a good chance of promotion, if not.........

 

If it was 2-1 we’d have won! It was 1-1 (and against a second string team as well).
Most of the post he was talking drivel, which I’m sure we agree on, but the draw comment was right.

 

I think we still need a left wing back and a younger tall alternative for Cook.

 

Dunno how true it is, but a guy who called the Tyler Smith signing weeks before it became official on another general football forum I follow is saying that City had pretty much spent our budget before the East and Young loan deals gave us some wiggle room. Looking for cheaper PL/CH loan moves where the parent clubs cover a majority of the wages to fill out spots.

The guy has like a patchy at best record, but it wouldn't surprise me if we were approaching our spend limit. Seems like Stockport are in a similar boat, their fans want another forward after all their injuries but the club have pretty much spent up.

 

For all that Hughes places emphasis on 'playing out from the back', we still don't know how to do it. McDonald may change that, but our biggest threats in the few games this season have been from going direct to Cook with Pattison running beyond him, or breaking quickly. When the play is set and we're trying to 'play out', we look a bigger threat to ourselves than the opposition.

 

Would imagine it’s true… how poor with again record turnover we have assembled this squad with so many square pegs in round holes.

Some on here still believe RS and Rupp are doing a great job. Wish some fans would wake up and see a total balls up they’ve made in recruitment of managers and players and how much that has probably cost us.

 

This summer looks like a cost cutting exercise to me. Although, we shouldn't lose sight of where we've handed out long term contracts to players who feature little, or who've even moved on. Oliver, East, Young, Derbyshire, Hendrie, Odusina were all given 2 or 3 year contracts. What a waste of money!

 

In unrelated news, Stefan Rupp has bought a brand new yacht.

 

And I’m sure you couldn’t run a hot bath! Stop making oneself look silly , you know less about management than I know about knitting, unless you can tell me your management history.
