singe Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Even if they get the last half hour, they benefit from the training and involvment too, it starts the process to blood them of course, they become more familiar less phased. It would be daft not to IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wracking my brains for who was the last before Hamer to really make the transition. I think it's probably Edmondson so none at all under the current regime. Yes, but Zak Emerson will make it and I suspect a couple of other next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep - so its role is selling players before they reach the first team. Depressing really, but realistic. Who are the others? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was a big turnaround for Bolton for sure... as much about other top teams underperforming as anything. They’ve lost 13 games and been promoted! Cambridge have lost 14 and been promoted. That’s unprecedented. Awful league... Which shows just how bad our inconsistency is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BP1960 Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 Very sad news, not an ex player, but played for many local clubs. I liked him as a centre forward and could have made the league grade when younger IMO. Puts the game into perspective I think. https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/news/19290100.body-found-inn-search-missing-footballer-james-dean/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He signed for them had to isolate then his mum got diagnosed with cancer and passed away quite quickly afterwards apparently. Really sad situation of him.

mcfluff1985 Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Yet this season we've been crying out for a Fane or Sylla type. Fane was brilliant and doing the one thing he was there for, winning the ball back and giving it to someone more creative. Have him back in a heartbeat 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
