Looks like you're right, both confusingly called "PL2" Still, although a promising signing, the point stands - it's always a gamble if an u23 player can make the step up.

Like Joe Nuttall?

We won't be in a position to improve though. Diaz, Rothwell, Lenihan & Nyambe won't be here and we'd have to spend to replace them adequately anyway. The time is now.

Fuck it. At least we would've had a go for once. Academy will keep us safe in the league if there's any ban.

I'm going to go against the grain a bit and say - he was alright. Decent footballer but some on here making him sound like Sergio Ramos. Not all down to him of course, but we still conceded a load of crap goals with him in the team.

I understand what everyone is saying but the league is too important for us at the moment. I'd like to protect the likes of Buckley, Rothwell and Diaz from League One cloggers. Play the back ups, let's give them some game time and see what they're all about.

My feelings exactly. Anything could happen. Just really really really hope Dolan bags

Could be turning into one of the best players in the league. Busquests x Iniesta = Big John Bucko

100% surpassing my expectations this season. Well done Tony, keep it up please.

Yeah. Real gem of a lad is Dolan, has started working with charities to help released players / raise awareness etc. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-10050409/Tyrhys-Dolan-dedicates-success-lost-pal-Jeremy-Wisten-took-life.html

This was Tyrhys Dolan's best mate btw

Are you feeling ok? 🤣

Almost can’t believe he didn’t come out apologetic and remorseful. Jesus Christ.

Mowbray very relaxed ain’t nothing but a thing

I don’t even know what to say. Wow.

Absolutely glorious scenes. IMG_7257.MOV

If we’re purely talking about fees/value, Mowbray’s net spend is minuscule now (if not in the negative) and he’s signed a good few assets for peanuts. Sounds right to me, look, we haven’t been completely potless but to make out he’s had something way above other managers is a bit silly. I believe other clubs are paying their players wages too. We aren’t unique in that or big spenders AT ALL. Criticise the man for often being tactically shit or whatever, but his signings in general have been very, very good for our level/budget.

No way, put a zero on that. At least! We aren’t non-league ffs! We’ve got fans all over, thousands of exiles like me and plenty that started following us before we were shit. We still punch above our weight. This site isn’t an indication at all, I only come on when life’s getting too pleasant just to bum meself out by reading stuff like Lincoln have more fans than us 😉

Aye. Outside of this site people watch football for enjoyment 🤣 Didn’t see anything of the game today, but glad to hear Dolan played well. He’s starting to put decent numbers together for his age, and the goal was a beauty. Quite the asset on the books, PNE must be feeling sick.

10-15 minutes here and there aren’t the same as a run of starting games, that would’ve helped him massively imo when he first came in.

If he'd gone into the first team, he may have done.

His first touch of the game is hilarious though 🤣 No matter how effective and a useful player he becomes, I think he's always gonna look like a pissed giraffe sometimes. Adds to his charm for me 🤣

I understood the "project" side of it and always thought he'd turn out to be a very good player from what I had seen. I give Mowbray credit for the signing, but he really did hang him out to dry a bit imo by not giving him a run of games for years.

I think there might have been something in those Leeds rumours personally. He's got pace and an incredible engine / workrate, exactly the kind of player Bielsa could work wonders with.

Yes. He's young and we paid a fair whack for him. Had to tie down the asset regardless of what you thought of his form. Although, without the Chile call-up, I expect he would've signed an extension this summer.
