    Tick tock. We currently can't put out a first 11 that is anywhere near as good as the one that narrowly avoided relegation at the end of last season. Coady, Clarke and Dykes have gone and not yet been replaced. They had better get a move on.
    Kaminski 
    Ramsay Jones Bell Mesík 
    Knibbs Coventry 
    Leaburn Carey Campbell 
    Kelman

    I'd argue isn't any worse than 

    Kaminski
    Burke Jones Gillesphey
    Fevrier Clarke Coady Coventry Chambers
    Knibbs
    Dykes

    Which is the team we put out against Swansea...
    Leaburn on the wing is diabolical

    I’ve not been following all the updates/rumours, but does anyone know what is happening with Lloyd Jones?

    Will he stay?
    He probably will stay, his value to us is far more than what other teams would value him. He has no resell value, no glamour career and wouldn’t be as good in modern sides who play out from the back.

    I’m in the staying patient camp, I’m sure NJ and the club are not saying behind the scenes.. fuck it let’s stick with what we’ve got and hope for the best, they know what is needed and trust they are doing the best they can to get a competitive squad together. There is no value in the investors not backing NJ as much as they can, unless they want to lose NJ or want out, haven’t seen anything to suggest they want either. The consortium NEEDS to be successful to make it worth being involved, they saw for themselves how difficult the championship is last season, so I’m patiently waiting to see what is done.

    It's not just him.  Key players whose contracts expire in 12 months....

    Jones
    Campbell
    Ramsay
    Coventry

    You can add Kanu, Doc, Bell, Alex Mitchell to that list too; albeit Kanu and Mitchell seem pretty likely to be sold.

    Yeah, I'd love to have brought in major upgrades by now, but would I rather bring in 5 players we can definitely get right now, or start the season with what we have, but bring in 5 quality players before the deadline? I think the latter, even though its not ideal to have them miss out on pre season. The signings that we made later last year will have pre season this time around snd so we should see improvements in fitness and integration. All about making those marginal improvements that see our squad pushing a bit higher each time.

    Leaburn playing right wing will have his hamstrings screaming at the very thought.

    But i agree we are not a million miles away.

    Personally think Koumetio would start if there were a game tomorow:

    Kaminski 
    Ramsay Jones Koumetio Mesík 
    Doc Coventry 
    Campbell Knibbs Carey 
    Kelman / Leaburn

    Jonesy may have seen enough to think mwamba gough start in the middle so dont need anyone? 🤭
    Or think that the price of someone who plays in that position is out of our reach, and/or not worth paying. 
    You are far too sensible

    Nathan jones was in pope st watching the England game last night sat right next to us. 

    Tight lipped on transfers and did not cheer either England’s or Argentina goals.  

    For a passionate man, he was very unanimated in an animated room, but suppose he is Welsh.  Was with Curtis too.

    Leaburn on the wing and Knibbs next to Coventry! That’s definitely worse 

    Our best team at the moment is 

                      Kaminski 
             Ramsay Jones Bell 
    Apter Docherty Coventry Mesik 
                        Carey 
              Kelman  Campbell 

    Which is pretty much the exact team we started last season with against Watford 
    It was only Dartford, but it's the middle 3 we played against them in the PSF.

    And Leaburn on the wing is where he played a lot of his under 21 football, it's not the worst idea in the world
