Missed a marketing trick if they do...would have been a chance to drum up some pre match excitement and get a few fans on the fence in attendance. If he does sign it must have been touch and go right to the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wilsonjunior Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 No way is this young lad going be our number one! His distribution was really poor from what I watched in that first half, in the modern game seems to be quite an important attribute to managers! Not that we will be playing from the back so much, but I also feel good news could be coming! If not - Good Luck Mr Wilson So excited for tommorrow!

Missed first 10 minutes on Tuesday and didn't pay much attention but thought his distribution was 50/50 - I can remember one pass played perfectly into someone on our left wing for us to break?

Hands on Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Well on the positive he was the better keeper on Tuesday and did appear to be part of our team rather than another hopeful. The six months is probably because everyone knows, I hope, that we are looking, or is waiting the right word, for an even better keeper. I hope he plays well and makes dropping him a difficult decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree. Not just the GK though is it they could have created a lot more hype for the first game of the season that people would have got wrapped up in. Ripley would have just been the trigger of all that optimism. We have just rolled over into the first game of the season we could have made a song and dance about it.

For those that came week in and week out, we are all sure what an important player Conor is for the team and our chances this season. To the floating fan, its just a goal-keeper. No matter how good they are, they are never the type of player to get bums on seats. Therefore IF they have got Conor Ripley lined up, I think him being announced at the game tomorrow would be a massive boost to the supporters / atmosphere who are there tomorrow. Staying in this hypothetical world, what is the latest that it would become apparent tomorrow? What time are official team sheets available? Matt Chambers tweets the line-up at 14:00 with TBC as number 1 and Ben on the bench? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deyres42 Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Seems pretty clear that Sheridan is having to toe the party line far more after his affair with Notts, no way he'd have put up with this nonsense before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would certainly cause a stir if your idea at 2pm, keeper as TBC but could also work the other way if it's not Ripley and drain any positive atmosphere. It's certainly a fan relations nightmare if it's someone who we weren't expecting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just get behind the lad, not his fault that he is not Ripley. Any way, just imagine if Ripley did return and did not live up to expectation, what a lot of s**t he would get on here.

At least 3... in all seriousness there are a lot of 'floating fans' that keep in touch, read and post on here, listen on Iplayer etc that know how big a factor Ripley was in keeping us up lat year. I just feel with the best close season and preseason we have had in years it could have been the final thing to shout about and create a final wave of optimism. There's a reason why a good run of performances bring fans back in their hundreds it's because they are just sitting there waiting to be convinced that turning up on Saturday will be worth their time and money. Whilst I admit Ripley isn't the same as a 10 game winning streak, but fans know that replicating the form since Sheridan came here over a season could put us near the play offs and Ripley would be a big factor towards achieving that.
