People adding 8+8+8 together and coming up with 58
-
Not as bad as a Prince Andrew interview but not good.
Rodwell - "Where could we sign a better player from than Karoy Anderson?"
Oh do fuck off, if you believe that you're of no use to us.49 -
To be fair, if we sign another Ben Purrington, I'm hardly gonna be dancing in the streets!FishCostaFortune said:
Erm didn’t Ben Purrington score in the play off final?golfaddick said:
I've not seen a January loan do anything...ever. And we've had lots of them.Chunes said:Rodwell says January will be mostly about loans rather than permanents
The summer loans like JRS, Gallagher, Cullen & Beilik turned out to he good but we've also had loads of duds too.1 -
Is Paul Elliott modelling himself on Touker Souleyman ?2
-
Paul Elliott has been reading too many management theory books.6
-
I've got a question, "Paul, why don't you have a chat with Curbs"?

Can someone tell me what all this 8+8+8 is all about.1

"All the young players have been an absolute sensation this season"Covered End said:Not as bad as a Prince Andrew interview but not good.
Rodwell - "Where could we sign a better player from than Karoy Anderson?"

No, they've all struggled.27 -
I actually thought that was decent and they were pretty open throughout, judging by the comments though I am in a minority here12

Curbs has great experience of getting out of League One , did the waffler say that1

The January window is a bad place to do business which highlights the misplaced trust in the squad at the takeover and up until the seasons startgolfaddick said:

Thank god that's ended!1

Elliott on discussions with Curbs.
"It's how you learn. Exchange ideas on things with people who know more about things than you do"
Paul now has a better understanding on the workings at Bolton Wanderers and Curbs is planning on getting a ground source heat pump installed later this year9 -
So only 16 senior players in a squad. Wow.4
-
As much as I am proud of our academy and do enjoy watching our players develop, the fact we are having to play so many for so many minutes is exactly one of the reasons why we find ourselves where we are now.
Football is a brutal game, and even out of current crop who are essentially first teamers now, I’ll be surprised if any (apart from Leaburn) go onto have a career above league one level.6 -
I think it is better they did this than not but we are a disillushioned fanbase for good reason. If they improve us they will get the plaudits but they haven't yet so will get the criticism and scrutiny and yes, cynicism as whilst they haven't been, we have been here before.4

I feel we learnt nothing from that meeting, other than we have new doctor from Brighton coming in on Monday.5

I thought that they were fantastic, their vision for the club sent a shiver down my spine AND the promised additions this window had me in raptures... Then again I was not there and have no access to what they said!6
-
In summary.
We are aiming to reach the Premier League by reducing losses down to £1M/£2M pa and the transfer market is the most difficult ever.
Rodwell - "Where could we sign a player from that is better than Karoy Anderson?"
I'm off to look at our relegation price.18 -
Allowing for injuries, as is normal, that would likely result in every sub on the bench being a youth player/ graduate, to bring on to change the game. Well that's gone swimmingly lately hasn't guys!!supaclive said:

Love to know the measurement for an "Elite" player compared to your "normal"one ? Can they eat 3 weetabix for breakfast perhaps ?1 -
Very poor.
Their optimism is built on misplaced self belief, and what the club is like at Sparrows Lane during the week without any paying spectators or points to be won or lost.
@Covered End and I don't really get on, but I would like to thank him, and am grateful for him telling us about Rodwell blatantly lying about the Dobson/CBT reaction at a live fan event.3 -
Has any of the recent league one teams that have gone up had the squad made up for 6 - 8 youth team players?1
-
I think you can introduce two youth players of the right quality max. And you can add to that when they establish themselves. Some will quicker than others but Arsenal and Liverpool U-21s get beat by League One sides, and not always full first team ones, in the Mickey Mouse Cup. There is a reason for this.5

I can't remember playing so many together and for the length of time that they have been appearing. It's normally one or two but even the senior players are not that experiencedFishCostaFortune said:As much as I am proud of our academy and do enjoy watching our players develop, the fact we are having to play so many for so many minutes is exactly one of the reasons why we find ourselves where we are now.
