    Sheaf

    He’s not had the best start, but to me just looks like a good League 1 player adjusting to the (significant) step up - same as most of the team. Can see he’s got something about him, just needs to be quicker with his speed of thought when in possession. Looks like it’ll be Kelly and him next...

    Shit luck for Mason, probably dented his chances of a move (temporary or permanent), at least for this window. Think he needs to move on for the good of his career. Shame as he’s a good player, but clearly doesn’t fit our style anymore

    Forgotten Trialists and Signings

    Faysal El Idrissi - sure he played one game (televised against Leicester IIRC) and then disappeared. Think he was on trial, or non-contract terms

    The Walsh Talk

    The narrow diamond gives me shivers as all I can remember about it is Thorn using it - Bigi at the base, Baker and David Bell in the middle and McSheffrey at the tip :poop:

    2 of those 4 goals conceded were from corners which I'd argue is a team failing not just the defence. The other 2 were McFadzean's fault, so if you're dropping anyone based on mistakes leading to goals it's him. No way I'd bin him off for Rose when he's just scored the winner and we need his...

    Pack can also play CDM if needed, think we’re fine for emergency cover after Kelly, Hamer, Sheaf and Shipley. Pointless spending the money on bringing a loan in ‘just in case’ when we’ve got enough options

    Thought it would be Williams, he’s in great hands.

    Awful news poor kid. In terms of players who have come back from 3+ ACLs, the only one I can think of is Matthew Bates the ex Middlesbrough defender. Think he had about 5 in total but still managed to have a career and play on as recently as 2018 So hopefully there is light at the end of the...

    Captain?

    Apart from David Meyler 😉

    Captain?

    Not sure about Hyam, we used 5 captains last season in the league ahead of him (Kelly, Fadz, Godden, Shipley, Rose)

    Robins best ever signing

    Big case for Hyam. Who’d have thought he’d be the only one still here out of Willis, Davies and McDonald from when he signed in 17/18

    Yep all for giving young players opportunities. I like our model of having just a few experienced campaigners (i.e. Kelly, McFadz, Godden) amongst an otherwise young squad with resale potential. I think having at least 1/2 of those 3 on the pitch on most games will be key this season, while we...

    Podcast Liam Kelly Special

    Agreed, his speed of thought in tight spots is usually excellent and gets us out of some of those tricky situations you get when you play out from the back. Recycles play very well and generally just moves the ball on quickly to those who can use it more effectively in an attacking manner. Top...

    Exactly this regarding Kelly. I watched him very closely yesterday, he's an incredibly 'boring' player to watch from a neutral point of view but every team needs someone like him. Sort of player you only really notice we miss when he's not on the pitch, which again speaks to the experienced head...

    25 Man Squad (not inc. U21s)

    This. Don't have to formally 'register' U21s as part of the 25 man squad, you get them for free effectively.

    Jordan Ponticelli

    Yep best of luck. Had a really unfortunate time with injuries over the last couple of years and a bad loan with Tranmere thrown into the mix as well. Scored a few with Wrexham late last season so hopefully he has started to regain some confidence with more regular minutes and less U23s football...

    Turnbull was absolute turd for us and I’m amazed he still has a professional career to be quite honest
