I am sure he’s failed to make the step up to the Champ every time he’s played there. Similar to BWP.killerandflash said:I'd be amazed if JCH didn't go to the Championship anyway. Peterborough consistently sell strikers to higher divisions.7 -
Nombe is a player we want, we have enquired but they wanted too much money, but we might go back in. Let’s seeShootersHillGuru said:So both Smith and JCH are no go. That leaves Nombe and ?16 -
Nombe? Nombe.
I could eat him0 -
Even if fit I’d really prefer Leaburn to be a sub. Don’t think he’s ready to be starting every single game and he’s very good off the bench. I’m thinking it might end up being a loanee

There was and it was Smith. I think we’ll be waiting on it for a few more weeks.ShootersHillGuru said:Weren’t we told last week that a striker was a priority? I’m sure there’s something in the pipeline.0 -
Think I probably disagree with that, but only just. He had a brilliant first season and at his age you improve quickly, he will be better than last season. He only started 18 games but scored 12.Smithy said:Even if fit I’d really prefer Leaburn to be a sub. Don’t think he’s ready to be starting every single game and he’s very good off the bench.

Probably being overly negative but that side is too similar to last year's one for my liking which was bang average.Callumcafc said:Here’s how I see the squad taking shape and business that must be completed as a bare minimum before the season starts:
IN: LWB & ST
OUT: Jaiyesimi, Kirk
And ones that I would like to see us get done but not expecting them necessarily to happen… maybe pick 2-3 of the four ins.
IN: another ST, RWB, CB, CM
OUT: Payne or McGrandles
This frees up the possibility of loan moves for some of the youth as well.
Although we might be helped as the sides coming down don't look as strong as previous seasons1 -
If we break it down a little further. We were bang average over the whole season you are spot on. However I’d say we were slightly below average first half and slightly above average second half.BigRedEvil said:

Although we might be helped as the sides coming down don't look as strong as previous seasonsThe players we’ve retained and who are likely to be in and around the XI are mainly ones who played a part in the slightly better half of the season or they’re players who performed above average over the course of the season. I think it’s fair to say we’ve got rid of the bang average culprits, Morgan/Clare/Innis/Stockley.2 -
Take a look at the XI that started the first game(s) of last season, it’ll take some of the edge off. I’m not posting it here because I find it offensive and I don’t want to upset anyone.14

I am yet to be convinced Egbo is a top six quality full/wing back, hoping we bring in a new player for that side too.

No need this young right back has impressed Holden a lot and I don’t think we will bring another right back in now. Wouldn’t be surprised if he is in front of EgboValleyBen said:I am yet to be convinced Egbo is a top six quality full/wing back, hoping we bring in a new player for that side too.6 -
Blimey. Only four players who started that match at Accrington are still at the club. And one of those four will likely be out the door this window.BR7_addick said:Take a look at the XI that started the first game(s) of last season, it’ll take some of the edge off.

The entire back five is gone (Sess TBD).

Fingers crossed for the best then, Asiimwe looks an exciting young player, just would liked to have replaced Egbo with a higher quality option rather then rely on a youth players first ever full season.DubaiCAFC said:

McGrandles and Payne you seen pre season you need these players to build a squad they are part of that not necessary first choice like Kirk keep them can't waste money replacing people you don't need toBigRedEvil said:

Most of his Championship football was early in his career. In his most recent season there (21/22) he started slowly but still ended up with 12 goals that season, which is respectable for a relegated side.I-SAW-POUSO-PLAY said:

God with that lineup from Accrington it's no surprise we were bang average10

I've not seen enough of Asiimwe to judge and I'll trust Holden's judgement but a few were saying Clayden was ready to be back up LB last season on the basis of a couple of games. Those games weren't friendlies either, it was a league and cup match. Egbo has never really played a full season so I'd be concerned if we didn't bring one in. At the very least something like Sess and Edun so the former can cover the right-side too.DubaiCAFC said:

Asiimwe is not even remotely comparable to Clayden, come on lol15

Most was saying Clayden wasn’t up for it. Asiimwe is miles better. He is very highly rated. And we have done well to keep hold of him.cafcfan1990 said:

If Holden is looking at playing a youngster because we have no money to buy a first team player then I’m as concerned as the next person but if he wants to play Asiimwe because he genuinely thinks he’s good enough then it’s in Holden we trust for me.17

Anyone else finding it strange to be excited discussing possible transfers? Is this what it feels like to support a normal team?14

I can't remember what that's like!1

Young players trying to break into the first-team, how are they not comparable? Asiimwe wouldn't be the first, nor the last young player to make an impression in pre-season but not be ready for the first-team. Like I said, I'm not making a definitive call either way because I don't know enough about him, but going into the season with him and Egbo would be a massive risk IMO.Leuth said:Asiimwe is not even remotely comparable to Clayden, come on lol2 -
Agreed, and I said so at the time. This formation might have been slightly better for him although ultimately I don't think he's a League 1 player.Dazzler21 said:

I’ve been really impressed with Asiimwe in this short pre season spell, his stature, composure on the ball and agility looks really promising.1

I totally agree, but I would argue that is exactly why Asiimwe is playing right now, because we don't have anyone else. Full-back/wing-back is where we are really short at the moment so we've had to use the younger players. There is the risk that it's a case of him having to be used in pre-season, impressing and then not being ready. But totally agree, I appreciate Holden's call if he feels him and Egbo are ready to be the two right-sided players.BR7_addick said:If Holden is looking at playing a youngster because we have no money to buy a first team player then I’m as concerned as the next person but if he wants to play Asiimwe because he genuinely thinks he’s good enough then it’s in Holden we trust for me.0
