Any of the sleuths on here know of any unattached players that may be able to do a job? Jack Wilshere types without a club that might do some kind of pay as you play? What happened to Andre Wisdom? Diego Costa as a far fetched idea?

What’s the opinion here? For me it’s a question of when not if. Yesterday would have IMO been a totally different result had VAR been in force. At least one of the penalty shouts or Godden’s header would have been awarded. It’ll be a travesty if we miss out on playoffs by a couple of points...

https://waterford-news.ie/2021/10/05/former-southend-player-signs-for-coventry-city/ News story from the other day that Abel Alabi has signed. (I can’t remember this been official anywhere). Anyway. This season will be biblical. Means our last two signings have been Kane & Abel.

Looks like we’ve got a fixture in a week or so (12/10/21) against AFC Wulfrunians (who I admit I’ve never heard of). I don’t understand why we don’t take this cup as a bit of an opportunity and have a go and also have a bit of a jolly. It’s a great opportunity for some of the fringe players to...

Wilson 5 Osti, McFadz, Hyam 4 Sam Mc 6 Dabo 7 James 6 Hamer 7 Shipley 5 Ohare 6 Victor 5 Subs. Late.

Over this season I’ve seen our throw in strategy somewhat lacking. Our players seem to have no clue what to do and often we seem to either be pressed out of anything or go backwards for a defender / goalie to lump forwards with possession often lost as a result. I hope our coaching staff have...

13Wilson - 6 - wonder if he’ll get some kind of record of penalty conceded goals ratio. Did ok. 2Østigard -7 - good assist, most things well 5McFadzean - 7 - solid 15Hyam - 7 - did ok 23Dabo - 8 - attacking menace - quality player 6Kelly - 9 - awesome but should have had a hat trick 14Sheaf -...

Does anyone know if Dutch referees are somehow more lenient? Do they share the whole mentality of “hey anything goes” as Dutch citizens do? I only say this since Kastaneer (who joined from the Dutch leagues), Hamer (same), and Dabo (played Holland the year before) don’t (or in Dabo’s case...

The furlough scheme has been extended until end of October. There’s also a change in the scheme where staff can go back part time and the government tops up the difference. Wouldn’t surprise me if SISU claim and put our staff on part time, and class our players as working 90 mins or whatever a...

I’ve been putting my legal hat on and thinking through what might prevent the EFL from restarting. I think it’s a given that all players and refs etc will need to be tested prior to restart or even training. It’s quite likely that some positive results may come up and, those players will...

Players we should have kept (and could have - IE we let them go free when they wanted to stay) No.1 Dimi Konstantopoulos. Had a few nightmares (unsurprisingly given the defence we had) but had a solid background.

Chris Kirkland released by SWFC (who have another former keeper of ours) He's 34 - not too old for a Goalie. Is he the answer? - probably earned a few quid over his career and through injury and being a back-up at big clubs and so on hasn't played as much as he should. Perhaps he...

Had Mowbray not signed (and many said he wouldn't even come here in the first place), would Allardyce have been the right person (and many will say we wouldn't come here in the first place)? Odd that a man strongly tipped to be the next England Manager a few years back seems to get pushed...

Sir Alex Ferguson buys into Glasgow Rangers, becomes a back-seat advisor to his son Darren, who becomes Manager. Pressley the Assistant Manager. Read title again, madder things have happened.

When the regular "Sack Pressley" / "Next Manager" / "Nobody would come here because of SISU" threads come up, Richard Money is occasionally mentioned. Watching his team tonight against Man Utd, with Chris Dunn involved, prompted a quick look at his managerial Stats...

According to Today's CT Another waste of money, well done Steve(s)

The Council helped finance the Building of the Ricoh. It brought jobs and downstream growth during the construction and now still provides jobs and (importantly) local tax revenue. The Wasps are now there, and like it or not they bring fans and revenue into the City. The whole Ricoh deal has...

Lining up for Hemel Hempstead against Nuneaton Town today. Was tipped for great things.
