  1. That comment alone shows what state we are in! If he’s the best we’ve got!!
  2. Is this the ‘Signing and Player Rumours’ thread?? Just asking.
  3. Whelan was good against Bristol, but for him that was an exceptional performance. You can count on the fingers of one hand the number of games where he has imposed himself. He’s very very weak in the tackle.
  4. I do understand what you mean, his height is definitely against him, but neither Whelan or Hunt have any sort of physical presence either. Vaughan has the talent and vision though to be much more creative than either of them. I just thought that Shez should have changed things once we went behind. We weren’t creating anything from midfield.
  5. How tall do you have to be to not get bullied off the ball? Whelan and Hunt (and Bowden before him) aren’t exactly Roy Keane or Vinnie Jones and they are quite a bit taller than Vaughan. The midfield as a whole is very weak, Missilou apart. Yesterday though, in the second half, we were sleepwalking to another defeat, no creativity whatsoever, so why not bring Vaughan or Bahamboula on? We were losing anyway! Poor yesterday from the manager IMO. Bringing Stobbs on for Hope with only injury time left was pointless and way way too late for any player to be expected to make an impact.
  6. He was too old when he was 37 according to our (not so) great leader!
  7. To be honest I think there is a section of the supporters who are toxic, and it suits them that the team is struggling at the moment.
  8. We have to hope that Wheater will bring some organisation and know-how to the defence and get them working as a unit because at the moment they seem to be playing like individuals. We are also desperate for an aggressive ball winning midfielder. Someone who can lead by example. We are a soft touch at the moment. Bradford bullied us and out-muscled us much too easily in the second half.
  9. “Should have been hammered for 6” ..... are you for real? Did you go to the game? Or would you just like them to be hammered for 6? Pathetic post.
  10. Players make mistakes, some players are cleverer than others, especially Championship players against League 2 ones. Goals happen in games! it was still a much better performance than Saturday. Definitely some positives to take from it going forward.
  11. Couldn’t agree more. A balanced opinion of the game instead of all the negativity that some people are only too happy to write. We looked a decent side tonight, much much better than Saturday - not difficult I know. An extra man (Sylla) in the middle made things much easier for Maouche and Missilou, and going forward with the ball we looked to have quite a bit of pace. We played with a lot of energy and enthusiasm and despite the gutting feeling of conceding those 2 late goals I was happy with the performance. On Saturday it was difficult to pick a MoM because they were all poor apart from Woods, but tonight it was difficult to choose one because no one had a bad game, including Sefil who seems to be the whipping boy at the moment. He won some very commanding headers as far as I could see, and yes he’s definitely lacking in some areas, but maybe he’s inexperienced at this level and he’s still finding his feet. Give him a break.
  12. It’s a cracking signing, and just what we need. I’m not a AL fan by any stretch, but credit where credit’s due. On the face of it Wheater is a better calibre of player than we thought we’d be getting. Good luck to him, I hope he’s a big success because he looks like he’ll be the perfect replacement for Clarkey. If we could get a striker and a midfielder in of a similar standard then I’d start to feel really optimistic for the season.
  13. I spoke to him after the last match against Northampton. He told me that they hadn’t offered him a new contract - “but there was still time”. The guy wanted to stay, and was at a bit of a loss as to why they didn’t want him to, other than the fact that they want to go for a more youthful team, but surely you need experience as well. Anyone who says that he didn’t want to stay though is misinformed.
  14. That’s ok. If he does, let him come on and explain his role. I’m sure there are lots of supporters who would be interested to know.
  15. Because that’s the way you do things as professionals isn’t it?!?!?! Not surprised at all. It seems to be the way that they generally treat any of the staff at the club. So sad to see our club being run this way by these two, oh and Barry Owen as well. What exactly does he do anyway??
  16. Probably a crap deal. Maybe half of what he had been on. Seems to be a common tactic to get some players out of the door.
