he will want paying tho so we are out unless he wants the rest of eastwoods pies that are left over

skybluealan · Jun 3, 2012

At least better than last season, we are going to lose more players and get even less in. We still can always rely on our Sunday morning league players to help out

shy_tall_knight · Jun 3, 2012

I've hardly seen Jeffers pay but against Saints he looked like a little boy playing in a man's game but fear not he has had made a big impact when playing in the lower leagues

Years Team Apps† (Gls)†
2008– Coventry City 6 (0)
2010–2011 → Cheltenham Town (loan) 22 (1)
2011 → Cambridge United (loan) 2 (0)

Jeffers wont make it

We have 4 goal McDonald, thats it !

shy_tall_knight · Jun 3, 2012

The academy has a poor record recently od producing good strikers Donovan Simmonds Ashley Cain the last decent one being Craig Reid

With that record he is the ideal replacement for ROD.

Cheers, looks like he will be give a 4 year contract then.

coop · Jun 3, 2012

There's loads of strikers out of contract I wouldn't mind getting jamie cureton probably getting on a bit but no's where the goal is

Astute · Jun 3, 2012

There is one striker that is getting on a bit and out of contract but could do a job for us.

Drogba

At least it shows you can get quality players for free. Don't mean we will, but hope is all we have left.

If we signed drogba it would only be a ploy to sell again in August for a fee so nasty old sisu can make a few pence before they shut us down.

johnwillomagic · Jun 3, 2012

I think as things currently stand we should start with Sheff & McDonald up front. Sheff admits it is his favourties position and McDonald hopefully will have a good season at this level. I think there is definitely goals in that fron pairing in league 1.

Let's face it we do not play a direct style of footy currently under Thorn so do not necessarily need a big lump up top.......we do need to strengthen our attack and midfield though. Just hope Bell & Baker have good seasons they can be creative and could make lots of goals for Sheff & McDonald.

Have you finally seen the light

stupot07 · Jun 3, 2012

Bit harsh on Jeffers, he did only turn 20 in April. He was only 18 when he went on loan to Cheltenham and Cambridge and last season wasn't helped by the 5 man sub rule, as I'm sure he'd have had a few more appearances this season. Very difficult to judge him against Southampton as our side was virtual the academy playing against the automatic promotion team.

Nimely is a year older than Jeffers and were only sent out on loan for the first time last season, which is the equivalent of next season for Jeffers. He may not make it, and probably won't but he is a lot younger than people realise.

Cody will score at least 15 league goals next season. Fact.

What if he breaks his leg on the opening day of the season?

Donovan Simmonds wasn't from the academy and seriously what has Craig Reid done since he left to say he was decent?

He was good on Football Manager around 6 years ago so maybe that's what you're referring to?!

CODY!!! · Jun 4, 2012

James Collins?

Who do you think we are going to sell him to then?

I see the post about craig reid being our last good academy player has been deleted. Must of been an old friend or family member looking for a bite

It isnt deleted???

LeamingtonBootBoy · Jun 4, 2012

MacDonald will score goals at this level....but he needs a foil up front.

Platt would have given him that foil at this level, so his departure is an unexpected blow for AT.

Astute · Jun 4, 2012

Cody is small and fast so could be better beating players than trying to get onto balls knocked down by Platt

Edit: platt would have given him that foil every other game as he can't play 3 in a week......

Gaz · Jun 4, 2012

I never thought Platts knock downs where anywhere near for cody to run on to.
Also with his very poor goal return, I think it's best Cody has a new striking partner next season so we arn't just relying on his goals next season.

skybluegod · Jun 4, 2012

jeffers will do fine imo next season still young i see him getting 8-10 goals next season if he plays enough, and cody will be very good in league 1 imo

shy_tall_knight · Jun 4, 2012

The assumption is that Jeffers will do ok based on what ?. Most academy players don't make it we have had a lot of our players thrust into the first team far too early and done ok. But to talk Jeffers as being our forward for next year and being able to deliver is just fantasy. The level he has played at is a league lower and non-league with zero impact but once he puts on the sky blue shirt he will deliver. Just be realistic, he has shown nothing to indicate he can cut it at this level and we must be realistic and assume he can't.

johnwillomagic · Jun 4, 2012

Why are we still discussing Jeffers FFS....everyone seems to be ignoring that Sheff's favourite position is striker......therefore with our current style of play McSheff and McDonald up front as first choice strike pariing.......simples!
