v Oxford Utd (h) - 24/08/2024

Love the optimism! -
Gutted about Sammie going, but we all knew it was coming - great post above by arbitro, agree with every word. Really hope Sammie absolutely smashes it in the PL. On our end... every single penny needs to be reinvested into the playing squad, there are really no two ways about it. Eustace said he wanted 3/4 players, that should now become 4/5. Can't say I have much faith that this will be the case tbh, can only hope.

v Norwich City (a) - 17/08/2024

Would go with this line-up; Norwich lost 2-0 to Oxford last week, and seemingly struggled more than they should have last-night against Stevenage; winning 4-3 in the end. They're leaking goals and aren't off to a good start... we on the other hand, I dare say that we are looking pretty dangerous in attack. Gonna predict a win for us here; 1-2, Yuki and Sammie to score. COYB. -
Very quiet with regards to transfers at the moment! Assume nothing will happen until after the court date next week, with the outcome determining who we're able to go for. Hopefully we can sign some decent players if the Venky's win the case, which would only slightly cushion the blow of being stuck with them for eternity.

Really pleased with the feedback on the 2 new lads from last night, despite the fact that we were only playing against Stockport. Particularly happy with the Weimann signing too. If we can then add this dutch GK, and a few or the reported players like Dembele, Gordon, Baker - then at the very least I think we’ll have moved away from relegation battle territory. We might end up pleasantly surprised this season, some progress has been made. Sammie will be a massive miss though, of course, but it is what it is - his head is fully turned at this point, it just needs wrapping up now. Really hope West Ham come in for him by the end of it, would be a dream come true for the lad.

Pleased with the flurry of activity, better late than never! Some good signings in there, Weimann being my pick of the bunch. However, we still need more... here's who i'd like to see us go for; GK: Tim Krul - just fucking get it done. LB: George Cox - previously linked with him, he's available again as a free agent. CAM: Karamoko Dembele - no brainer! Get him and his brother... LW: Siriki Dembele - top top player on his day; fast, goal threat. RW: Josh Bowler - Great player, would probably be the best signing of the lot. Then get some good loans in such as... James Hill, Harvey Vale, Kaide Gordon. Would actually make us a good side that, top half.

Assuming Sammie goes, this is how i'd sort of rate who we've got left - just my opinion of course, understand some might disagree with a lot of it. What's concerning is that we've a lot of players who fall into the 'Unknown' category - as they're either new and unproven at this level, or very young and unproven at this level. I've left out injured players such as Wharton and Leonard, in hindsight should've removed Gilsenan for the same reason. Anyway, I think we urgently need the following permanent signings; - a keeper. - a proper replacement for Szmodics, a marquee signing. - 2 wingers with pace. - a left back. So 5 permanent signings, we then need to supplement the squad with 3/4 good PL loans. That's just to give us a good shot at survival...
