Agree with you bar DKE and Beavon.
I assume we are not contributing greatly to Turnball and Reid's wages.
Another McNulty but this time the right one.

Trouble is are the expectations of Strikers that we buy! If we can provide Mcnulty with the correct passes instead of fling it in to a space in the penalty area he might start to deliver the goods. We have to think of how many chances you need to create for a striker to score a goal ! Take the premieship most of the top strikers convert 1 in 3 chances into a goal where as the Championship it is 1 in 5 and so on and so forth! If we had a striker who converts 1 in 5 chances he would not be with us very long and as such we should be looking at how we can increase the chances for any of the forwards to score, watching the games so far we have too much space between our defence and forwards because Doyler & Kelly spend too much time camped in front of the defence. Either Kelly or Doyle need to move forward at least 10 yards in play

Still disagree on recruitment (squad no better) McNulty has scored goals in the past but most of them 41 to be exact in lower leagues in Scotland probably Nuneaton or Leamington level . As for not playing his style why recruit him Mark is the man to question on that. People on here saying that Willis and Stevenson should be sold they are players who should be playing every week not sold stop selling our future.
Don't talk such sense on here !!
19 promoted academy kids, including 4 keepers and a handful of freebies doth not make us the great unbeatables as some were suggesting early doors. Many of the clubs we will play have players who have played at this level most of their careers and know what it's all about. Football isn't that complicated at this level either, you need a solid keeper who has a mouth on him, a couple of big guys at the back, at least one full back who can overlap, a couple of tough guys in the Mid and someone who can create stuff, a big lump up front with a half decent predator to play around him.

Indeed Finch was. What is more worrying/alarming is that the coaches/managers etc throughout the academy thought that he would obviously make the grade and invested years in him!:emoji_hushed:

Never an opportunity missed for you to put the boot in on the academy, you got a family member that got rejected? We've got at least 5 currently at premier league teams, 2 in the championship and that's without thinking about it. I bet there's not many teams outside the Championship that can better that. Hundreds of academy players don't make it in the game after being at clubs for all their youth careers, Finch probably got longer than he deserved because he's 6ft 1". No harm in keeping him on peanuts for a couple of seasons to see if his ability caught up. It didn't and he's gone - it's not alarming unless you have a reason for it to be, it happens everywhere.

Very true the vast majority of Crewe's side is home grown players. Seems they promote them and stick with them tho they were relegated in 15/16 from L1 and languished in the bottom half of L2 last year till a late upturn in results.
3 were promoted from there U18's this summer and 4 last year and 6 the previous season.
Seems they've taken a few outside players tho in the last 12 months in more experienced players like Chris Dagnal, Chris Porter, Jordan Bowery, Eddie Nolan, Brad Walker.
They've a squad of 25 I think according to Transfermkt currently

To be fair to Adge he does have some good views and on occasion I agree with him. He seems a passionate fan like many others on here. It's a free forum and his opinion is as valid as anyone elses however when his first post in the Academy thread at the top of the forum is a negative one and seemingly completely ignored the success last season I do wonder what's beyond his stance

I would say Vincenti would be better suited to playing more central because he don't have the speed for playing out wide

Sayoud does exist but if I was him or his agent I would be looking for a move to a club where he's closer to the first team. He's 20 and Kyle Finn who's two years younger went on tour and played against Blackburn ahead of him. Whilst Kyle is talented, Sayoud should be making that position his. I predict he'll be released at the end of this season but football is full of surprises, maybe he'll get a chance tonight

It's strange because he doesn't seem to even have been close with any manager. He was highly rated when he signed too.

More clueless shite from you, as ever. McNulty scored goals in the Scottish First Division, which is equivalent to L1 standard.

McNulty joined Livingstone on July 2009 he played his first season with them in division 3 they were promoted to division 2 and gained promotion to division 1 so 2 in 5 were spent division 3 and 2 even if you think division 1 standard = Scottish first division not my view.

Robins has just said on CWR that we may have just won the lottery. He wouldn't be drawn on names though

Willis on the move then do you think!

It's possible, was he rested/injured tonight and Pearson played. Was that just a run out to have another look at him or genuinely filling in.
Could speculate all night, let's see if he tweets from meadow hall shopping centre tomorrow to see if he's up Rotherham/Sheffield way
Telegraph will soon tell us

League two teams have to rely on youth - we have Vincetti, maycock, Shipley, Andreu so have many options.

Last time he played in L2 he averaged a goal ever 2.7 games. Can definitely score goals at this level.

IF we could get 17 or 18 goals out of him this season would be great but he does not look that good to me hope he proves me wrong mind you, I think it will be very hard with the service (lack of) he get here.

Pearson has been released. He didn't look very good based on the extended highlights from the Shrewsbury game. No great loss.

Yep. Now turned our attention towards Courtney Baker-Richardson.

Well, he's got 2 goals in 5 which is 2.5 games a goal... Strikers don't need to be good all round players, they need to know how to score goals. It is still early doors so he could prove better or worse, works either way.
With Andreu looking like he'll remain in the starting XI, I think he and McNulty will link up well.
