Doubt we'll be in a relegation scrap but hard to imagine us troubling the top 10. L1 is getting stronger with many teams able to spend a bit of cash (wages or fees or both). We won't improve until we shift the deadwood and start to recruit better.
Same source that linked us to Caylan Vickers yesterday, is now saying we are also in the race to try and loan Kamari Doyle, also from Brighton. Us, Reading, Wycombe and Luton amongst the clubs interested. Apparently
I think that Richard keogh being in the building and drilling the players could be a big part - this is someone who knows exactly how this level works and what is required . I think duff/Paterson absolutely hammered the defence in training with drill after drill - I think it will be the same with CH and RK
Attacking midfielder with 10 league goals in our league last season for Exeter and then Crawley. Doesn't necessarily seem like a position we need whilst we still have the likes of Phillips at the club.
Wouldn’t mind getting Luke Matheson on trial following his release from Bolton for the RB spot. Still only 22 and was highly thought of when he first appeared at Rochdale and went to wolves.
I don't remember Caylan Vickers in the Mansfield games at all. Kamari Doyle would be a really good signing at this level, I'm just hoping it's not a permanent out with only a loan in.
It's funny how the pursuit of players is so frequently referred to as a "race" by the media. If we are in the race with the three clubs you mention, past experience suggests that we are very unlikely to win it.
Only played in the away game against us as wasn't there for the first one. Scored the opener when they beat us at their place
I'm hoping your reight, Bazza, last season i always said we had a good league 1 side, disappointing season, but its stronger nar an shunt be any excuses, 2nd'd by me.
Had a bit of bad luck yes, fingers crossed he can get over that hump. I have no doubt he’s a multi million pound future sale if he gets fit.
Well to be fair we were top 6 up until Christmas. We were up there conceding silly goals . We were scoring but conceding like a bottom 4 side. So like I say im confident we can acheive a top 6 even if we lose DKD . If we can start keeping clean sheets.
Really, thats a brave quote . I saw that in John Stones ,I certainly dont see that in Jalo . He is struggling in League 1 to make an impact. He needs to kick on if he wants to play at an higher league ,in my opinion.
That’s a big IF given our defensive options. Jack Shepherd may be a prospect but he’s not prime Bobby Moore.
