    Match Thread Telford friendly

    I agree about U23 competition not stretching young players compared with the old 'reserve' leagues which included a significant proportion of senior players. For the young players, it results in a very big jump from U23 to first team. It also makes it difficult for coaches to fully assess young...

    Ask Neil

    That's pretty much my view too. I think the Trust urgently needs to re-engage with it's members and ensure that it's stance and actions more accurately reflects members views.

    Callum Wilson to sign new 4 year contract with Bournemouth

    Exactly that. There will be plans which are contingent on transfer income and plans which are not.

    Next Seasons Confirmed Squad/Transfer Rumours

    Because we might have bid 600k for Enobakhari in the knowledge that we can get at least 700k by selling Chaplin.

    Transfer Rumour Bids for Chaplin

    I''m not advocating that we go 4-4-2. I just think we're unlikely to see the best of Chaplin with 4-2-3-1 and therefore it would make sense to sell him provided we can get a good enough offer. I think £700k is too low.

    Transfer Rumour Bids for Chaplin

    I think that if Chaplin wants to go to Barnsley, (and why wouldn't he for the extra money alone), we'll probably have to let him go. So maybe try to haggle the price up a bit - a £200k profit on £500k outlay is OK, but a £400k profit would be very good business - particularly if Robins intends...

    Our apparent bid for Bright!

    He had a few games in which he was frustrating to watch, because he overdid his runs and shot or passed too late, that's all.

    Sky blue trust motion

    It's part of the Secretary's job to check that motions submitted to the AGM by a member, conform to the rules. i.e. Roger Ellis can't reject a motion just because he doesn't like a member's face. He has to giving the member valid reason, quoting the relevant rule that's being broken. In fact a...

    Sky blue trust motion

    The Trust Secretary, whoever that is, should be able to answer these questions. Easier than having to plough through the Trust's standing orders. Edit: Roger Ellis is Secretary, according to their web-site.

    Confirmed - Gervane Kastaneer

    I think Robins dropped Brown because of other issues, such as not being fit enough to last 90 minutes, or making reckless tackles for example. Hiwula would be a better comparison. He was very lazy off the ball for the first few games and you could sometimes hear Robins giving him grief for not...

    Confirmed - Gervane Kastaneer

    This guy looks like he could be quite a handful for opponents in League 1. Any sign of laziness and Robins will be on his case, so I'm not too worried about that.
