That we are still working through or pulling together a shortlist of candidates. I assumed this just to be diversionary tactics
I think the recruitments been spot on mate. I'd rather sign promising youngsters than go for journeyman players. We'll have bumps in the road no doubt but we'll get there long term. Can't keep chopping and changing, this is what's got us into this position in the first place.
TBF mate there's only so much he can say, Keane was no different on Friday night. I fully expect things to be in place for Monday morning and announced later the same day. (Part info/part guesswork.) I'm at Cheltenham and will be expecting the Keano song to be sung. This squad is like an expensive bit of furniture, good quality but just needs putting together correctly and a bit of polish.
Hopefully he watched yesterdays match with clean eyes (and with someone he hopes to take with him ) Still can’t help but think that this team with a few key changes would be a very different beast.
When we have no centre halves on the bench and only one serviceable full back then I think questions can be asked. One of the best players on the pitch yesterday? Aye that would be the lad we have away for free
There is no one else to be fair. Unless speakman himself took it. No excuse now though. Keane in before close today to get the team tomorrow ready for Tuesday. Otherwise I can see more carnage.
It's been good but they ****ed up with allowing flanno to go without getting another one in. He won't admit it but they know if. They expected one to come in but it didn't happen.
Deffo a mistake, although I seem to remember there was a centre half we were trying to get done or did I dream that? Might have to look at a free agent centre half as we are short now
I’ll have money on Cheltenham Tuesday night if Dodds remains in charge for that game. Clueless idiot.
Isn't that the point of being a supporter though. We currently have players out who'd make a massive difference, Broadhead, Huggins, O'Nien, McGeady, etc, but there's still enough to play much better than yesterday. This is the team that hammered Sheff Wed, and stand 2 points off second, so I can't accept they're totally useless ... ... and, even though I'll be slated for this, Hoffman is giving me and the defence butterflies every time we defend. It's not just Burge who's having heart problems
Aye it’s the one criticism for me, we look short at the back. I never ever thought I’d hear myself saying we shouldn’t let Flanagan go mind! But I’m guessing they banked on getting one in (Kongolo?) which obviously failed
I just hope Keane is announced, it has to be , I love the bloke , I'm not even sure if he's the right man for the job but what I am convinced is he is definitely the right man for the job RIGHT now. I can't think of anyone else capable of creating the confidence and bringing the lift the club needs to turn things around
We should surely be looking at the free agent market for a CB? Winston Reid is a good shout I would have thought.
