Zzzzzzzzz

 

He played for Cambridge and Burton in league 2.

 

Do they provide a released list though? Or do they provide a retained list and details of those they've offered a contract too and then deductions are made as to who is therefore surplus to requirements?

 

He played in league one last season. League two might be his level

 

I hope to god this is a back up for scannell or whoever his replacement will be.

 

You was quick enough to back Sam Hornby, a 4th division reserve keeper based on the comments of Port Vale fans.

Why the contradiction?

Absolutely!

 

Not only has the player something to prove but it’s GB reputation on the line here. We have had enough of players who don’t turn up, he is not getting any younger, and if he doesn’t show graft, skill and determination to succeed this season non league awaits his talents. Previous fans are a reasonable barometer of a player.

 

A few weeks back I did make the warning that we will be fishing in the shit-pool again. Some mocked me for it and claimed that we could sign some good players with the £1m we had to spend.

So far we have signed up 5 players; Devine, Richards-Everton; French, Hornby and Ismail. Nothing yet to be excited about and around £350k of the budget already utilised on their wages.

Whoop, frigging whoop...!

 

If he is the little sulky winger that played against us at their place he looked half decent.

I have no idea why people have decided he is shite already while being delighted with two Centre halves from Sunday league and Accrington reserves.

I wouldn't take what opposition fans say as gospel. Just look at how players are rated so differently on here.

We are highly unlikely to know much about any of our signings.

 

Oh FFS I’d forgotten Anderson has been offered a contract

 

Wright will go to Orient, can’t honestly see O’Connor, Scannell and Riley being there at the end of July. There’s the think end of £750k or more in those four.

 

End of July? Doubt it.

Not convinced all will leave. This Wright to Orient might not happen either.

 

Not having a go but I could give you far better examples of Bradford City players we signed that "bombed" who were a sight worse than Jack Payne.
Many who we paid good money for couldnt make the bench never mind the starting 11.

 

But, are we not in League 2 ?

 

I've heard that on his day, Championship is his level.

Problem is that "his days" are few and far between and the majority of the time he's anonymous.

 

What we should do is charge all the carers that attend. We'd be rolling in it.

 

Like all lower league wingers not consistent

 

That's a fair analysis but I believe the problem is that for too much of the time he plays well below the level he's currently playing at.

No one is asking him to be championship quality, just a consistent 7/8 out of 10 in league two would be a good season.

 

I'll be honest, I've never heard of him, nor the other lads we've signed this summer either, lol.

Everything is screaming "budget is stretched" but as the likes of Accrington have shown in the past, League Two is a diabolical league and the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. It is all about the atmosphere Bowyer builds in the squad and whether the players want to play for him and the club.

More than happy to wipe the slate clean by the time the new season comes around, though, and looking forward to having it back now, bizarrely!

 

Even if we kept the same group after promotion but finished bottom again?
