    I'm prepared to give Berry and Docherty leeway considering I've only seen one once and the other twice. But Coventry, we have had our pants pulled down. 20+ games. Was he ever better tham mediocre in any? 

    Had to laugh when he dribbled the ball almost the entire length of the box, when a simple touch into 18 yard area would have drawn a penalty. He ended up passing it to their keeper.

    I have no affinity with Bexley, who I suspect doesn't watch games, just takes opposing views. If not rating Coventry, Gilly, Jones, Edun, Watson, Docherty is controversial then so be it. 



    Hardly had our pants down!! There was no fee, and I’d bet we could get rid of him tomorrow if we put him up for sale.
    i seem to remember plenty digging out Dobson at the start.

    Wasnt the fee around seven figures for Conor Coventry?
    I think it was the same fee we paid for Francis Jeffers

    Did anyone bigging up Berry and Docherty go to AFCW on Saturday?
    And Docherty was one of the players who looked ok

    Can't sign anyone else until players are sold, still well short imo so not good news.
    Well short is a stretch if we get Begovic we can put a good team out with a solid bench. Yeah another two would be nice but we’re not well short.
    If we want to get out of this league with Birmingham and Wrexham in it we are still well short of the quality needed imo, and Begovic hasn't signed yet that might depend on players going as well.

    He was our best player at Derby away in what was one of our best team performances last season.

    He’s not done it enough at all for us so far, but he’s done it for MK at this level, he’s done it for Rotherham at the level above, so I’d maybe wait till the proper games start before judging him. Joining mid-season isn’t easy, especially joining a struggling team

    Birmingham I agree, Wrexham I really don’t get the fascination with them they didn’t even win league 2 and they’re best signing is George Dobson .

    What quality have Wrexham got in this league?

    They have momentum and plenty ££££££ if needed.

    We can’t compete with Birmingham, they’ve got a £20m transfer budget. Might as well forget about them 

    At the moment we’ve got a squad that will be in the play off chase and could sneak the top 6. What we need is 2/3 quality players that take us from that level to the level of Bolton, Huddersfield and Rotherham who are likely to be fighting for that 2nd spot behind Birmingham. 

    Begovic and Potts would fit that quality level we need, I’m not sure Bishop does so I’m actually quite happy he’s not training with us anymore and hopefully we are looking elsewhere

    My QPR mate said Begovic is the worse keeper he's ever seen. That a lampost would move quicker. Obviously it's a very bias opinion but thought I'd share.

    Your mate knows fuck all about football if he thinks Begovic is the worse keeper he's ever seen unless he hasn't watched many games 🫡

    Supposedly they have the best midfielder in the country 😄.

    I don't see Wrexham as a threat yet at all. Signings are fine for this level but nothing wow. Still got a lot of work to do to be competitive. Just because they've been able to outspend and pay big wages in L2 and Non League doesn't mean that's going to be replicable in this league. 

    Stockport I see as a bigger threat of the newly promoted sides - recruited very well and have an excellent manager in Challinor. They could easily be around the playoffs. Likes of Bolton,Rotherham and Huddersfield are a given to be big threats for automatics.

    If we can get 3-4 more quality signings (I'd count begovic and Potts in that ) then I'd be confident we could be around that conversation.

    Wrexham will definitely be there or there abouts and anyone who says different doesn't understand how deep their pockets are and the momentum they have.

    It's needed now in this transfer window and they've not really signed anyone of note.

    Admittedly there's still over a month to go and i'm sure they'll sign someone but their squad doesn't stand out.

    I can’t see it if o’Connell, Dobson and Lee are starting for them.

    Not quite as good as Panns

    Those deep pockets don't really seem to have done much to keep the momentum going though. Dobson is a great signing for a team that have been promoted and want a solid season to consolidate. He's not really the kind of player who is going to turn them into real contenders at the top of the league. The same can be said for their other signings honestly.

    Wrexham are going to survive pretty easily I'm sure, might well be top half team. But they need much more about them before are real play-off contenders IMO.

    Charlton aren't there yet either for what it's worth but we're closer to it than Wrexham are. Potts, Begovic, and a quality midfield addition could put us there.

    No he was a freebie with a big sell on attached
