If he hasn't played, he's probably been let go; or injured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was my thinking too. Whereas Tom Whelan seems to have disappeared, and should have been fairly cheap given his pedigree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafc1955 Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 To be honest we can’t complain about squad strengthening when we’re set to starve the club of income. As far as football goes, I’ve already written this season off. Short term pain for long term gain hopefully! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

penrhyn Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 I cant help but feel Blitz is also part of the problem . I dont think starving the team of support will help matters other than harming the club not the individuals. I just want a reliable honest owner worthy of our club who ever it is.

My only hope is that a change is going to come before it is too late to recover the numbers. My fear is that some may be lost forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But any football club exits to try and win- and the fact we have had nothing to celebrate for nearly 30 years is lost on a lot of people. Despite all the shit- If we went up next season, there would be uplift in season tickets sales- ‘boycott’ or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way we go up is if they star running the club properly in which case there'd be no need for a boycott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watch how quickly the off field stuff would go away though if the above happened. Or notice how quiet this board goes when we win a couple on the bounce. Fans are fickle, and results are the ultimate arbiter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monty Burns Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Sheehan play as a LCB now? He still got long hair? Love a long haired, left footed, hard tackling player me. Made my feelings on Hart public after seeing him play for 5mins, but he is a bit too commercial for me tho after last nite. And l don't think he takes free kicks.

I was impressed with Hart last night he looked good down that flank, and Adams ball for Harts goal was superb,I've been critical of Nickys delivery but not last night, makings of decent side and yes we looked organised and quite creative going froward. Interested to see how young Harry does aswell very impressed with his ball control and how quick he wants to get forward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
