Re: Confrimed - Abbey and Holmes going

Dellor said to him something like, but your relationship with Selles is good now? And Holmes largely swerved the question and talked about just being professional and getting on with doing his job. It spoke volumes. My impression was there is no love lost between them and it’s all about being profe...

Re: Confrimed - Abbey and Holmes going

Obviously not ideal losing players, but elephant in the room, look at the players we have lost in the past during Dai's tenure on a free where we could of got a fee for them (Richards, Swift, Laurent, Joao, Meite). Now I know we are getting minimal fees here (but we obviously need the cash to cover ...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Wigan Athletic (a)

If Georgey Puscas can bang a hattrick at the JJB which turned one of the most drab away days into a frenzy then anything can happen. Also love that it was the ground that Sir Steve refers back to - when we lost last game of season and they went up in 04/05, the catalyst for the 05/06 'bottle this fe...

Re: Confrimed - Abbey and Holmes going

Funny one with Holmes, after his performance at Port Vale I would have snapped anyone's hands off if they wanted him. He was rightly dropped after that performance then we didn't seem him for a while, all be it we went on a terrible run - he came back in the team and we picked up again. His presenc...

Re: Charlie Savage to Derby

So much hype around this signing, but lets be honest - he has underwhelmed and hasn't earned a starting spot and since he has lost his starting spot we have seen our recent upturn in form. Sideways and backwards passing, Elliot is streets ahead of him currently and he can't get in the team either. ...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Brighton & Hove Albion U21 (a)

Absolute toothless display, like many after the first 10 mins I thought it was just a matter of time. But those ten mins must have gone to the players heads and they were clearly just treating it as a training match thinking it would be a given we would eventually score. We didn't, we got sloppy and...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

Genuine question. Dai is open to selling and listening to offers, which will keep happening. Aside from drawing national attention, what will more marches and tennis ball protests achieve if owner is already willing to sell? Not a criticism at all, as I think all the SBWD movements have been great a...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Portsmouth (h)

Views in no logical order - - Great having Yids back, probably best performance from our side today, reports of him shhhh’ing fans a shame but don’t think booing the team after todays performance was justified (it was Tuesday of corse), but booing them today was doing no good and perhaps just a capt...

Managed to have a few mins with Sir John after the game today, asked him his views or if he any idea on progress of sale.

Re: BFTG Fleetwood shambles

Re: BTFG Cambridge

Such a frustrating display, but like previous games it’s difficult to vent frustration given most of them out there are academy boys playing their first season on senior football. FWIW - - Azeez and Vickers up top, Cambridge centre halves must have been delighted to see that on the team sheet, won’t...

Re: BFTG - Cheltenham

Changes had to be made following THAT second half on Saturday - and it was good to see, even though I don't think anyone was expecting the volume of changes that were made. Thoughts - - Great to get a league win, regardless of the opposition - If there was ever a league game to throw the kids in, Ch...

Re: Where does Carroll rank in worst ever signings?

Ridiculous post Don’t have to be a brain surgeon to see what his attributes are, and in League 1 if utilised properly he would be a serious asset. Yesterday he was poor, missed pen, being pulled all over the place but even with 5 mins to go did we send one diagonal ball into him. He’s never going to...

Re: Rumour - Theo Walcott

Would be an unbelievable signing at our level.

Still could easily justify a move to a lowly Prem team, knows the manager - and can surely only have a positive influence on likes of Azeez et al.
