    Getting a bit concerned that no hint of an announcement of new signings so far!!

    People have very short memories. I've no issue with who we bring in or where we finish this season (long as we stay up!). Build properly next summer, anything we achieve now is a bonus. 
    Maybe so and that may be realistic, but I think our new owner is expecting a lot more than as "long as we stay up" this season.
    Top 6 is a realistic aim

    With our late signings, we'll be slow starters but just as 2 seasons ago, you'd expect us to be stronger after Christmas. The smaller sides like Lincoln will probably start to struggle when the glut of games starts to take it toll.

    I remember 2009/10. Leeds and us looked like we'd run away with the division, but both us stuttered in the second half of the season and Norwich ended up winning L1 easily

    Cutting a bit fine ain't we?

    Reckon they're done. Bit of time for TS and the Comms team to provide a bit of theatre as is the norm these days.

    No doubt and that's great, I just won't be disappointed if we don't. 
    I have to say I disagree - I want to see us challenging the leaders and will be disappointed if we end up outside the top 6.
    I do accept it may take us some time to really shift into gear though, given the late squad overhaul.

    Charlton Athletic have agreed a beat-the-deadline deal to sign Luton Town midfielder Andrew Shinnie on loan. #cafc #ltfc

    Sky Sports saying Smyth coming in on loan - looks like him and Shinnie are the two

    And us. Would have freed up wages to offer elsewhere. I’d loan out AMB as sitting on our bench won’t do us much good and then let Dills/Amos fight it out for a place between the sticks.

    When I said a "20 goal striker" I was thinking pro rata to games played because of injuries.

    I will accept 15 in 33 games !

    Unless this is being kept very quiet, we aren't replacing a guy who scored 1 in 3 in the Championship.

    Could be a critical 2 hours ?

    What ever happens I'm happy because it just means the 5 year plan is extended by a year or 3.

    The next 115 minutes are crucial ...

    Not much point agreeing a don't-beat-the-deadline deal

    Reckon half the fanbase muted his twitter feed months ago. No-one ever replies to his insane rambling and if you mute him, you won’t be tempted to either.

    Hopefully Butland can take his form from last season over to Palace! Given the choice of the two I would have bought Phillips

    BUT..... I thought the rumour earlier was that Philips would not be in the 23 man squad submitted. Surely this means he is not in the wage cap calc also. 

    When I think of this wage cap, I visualise a graduate sitting in front of excel with a complex algorithm working out how many ££ Bowyer and Gallen have left to spend.  Just don't do a track and track and 'lose' some rows of data.

    Getting nervous now that Shinnie really is going to be the last one through the door :neutral:

    However 109 minutes to change that!

    Tangential question: If I get a basic ValleyPass subscription does it give me access to delayed extended highlights for every game? and how soon after the match are the highlights available? (NB: picture of no relevance and simply used to get someone's attention)


    FFS no one has answered my questions. 
    Please?



    Mouthalls mrs without the slap on ?
    Vanessa Feltz?
    So is this Feltz fella a striker or a winger?

    He blocked me before I could mute him. Not sure why as I've never interacted with him, but I'm certainly not complaining

    We are one goalscorer short of a promotion.

    More of a big unit to plug gaps at the back.

    Could be a crucial 1hour 45 Minutes... or so ;)

    Q. Scott or Josh ?

    A Josh.

    We may wait to the next window and get our goal scorer if Washington and Bogle don't hit the onion bag.


  • Don’t believe the negativity of some on here just look where we are compared to a month ago we have brought some good players in and even if there are no further additions we have a strong squad for League 1. Thank you Thomas Lee and Steve can’t wait to actually watch this new team play COYR

    Don’t get the approach with Thomas at Borehamwood. We’ve put a bid in and they’ve said no, so we’ve moved on? Surely if we’re that interested we’d go back and negotiate. Bizarre! Out of three that are rumoured, he is the one I was most excited about.
