Summer window

He’s used it well as he’s got Dack in the side now.

Changing the subject a bit, the missus pointed that Dack was constantly organising and talking to the side on Saturday (which I missed)

He did...

What a ****ing stupid post!

As the master of stupid fkn posts I bow to your experience. Do one.

Fans are not sick of big Tone, it’s the lack of an oven ready striker fans are sick of and that’s not big Tones fault.

I’m sick of him tbf

Do you know KS personally mate?

TM is 59, an ideal age for a manager

Ron Knee is 59.

He'll take a few weeks to get up to full fitness - if he's making a difference now, you'd assume he'll be even better in 6-8 weeks

Agree with this but he shouldn’t be having to drop in front of the back 4 to get on the ball. Pointless bringing in a shadow striker because we haven’t got a decent 10 if he’s having to play as a holding midfielder

Hopefully that’s a position they nail next, the next Gustavo Hamer would do me just fine!

I said something about that to my dad at the match, Dack was constantly talking and giving instructions, it stood out to me.

Didn't think he had a great overall game but watching the highlights it was a great touch to Jobe for our second. He also setup a shot for Clarke and another for Jobe which were unlucky.

And automatically following the ball in for the first goal ...

... that's instinctive.

For that, the second and Clarke's other effort he'd ghosted into space. For Clarkes shots over the bar, in the first half, he was in acres of space. Clarke may need to be coached in that respect, not every curler goes in.

The young players need to learn that, although Jobe seems to be a quick learner.

Missed a sitter before, no chance he was doing it again!

For all i like Pritch’s general play, I do think Dack will give us a better cutting edge further forward. The full backs will miss Pritch the goal scorers will enjoy Dack.

Aye I agree, looks like he could play a major part this season.

 

[Oldsandy]

But won't that depend on how we perform this season?

Catch 22. If we fail to get promotion I think it possible that TM will be gone (our owners strike me as being impatient for results). Should we gain promotion it is just as likely he will be gone, not having experience coaching in the premiership. If it is true that Toney’s contract terminates at the end of this season then that makes it doubly convenient to say goodbye. I like Mowbray. He has a wealth of experience of English football and by all accounts is an excellent man-manager with a knack of bringing the best out of players and of giving opportunity to young uns. I think he’ll be gone, but I’ll be sorry to see it.

Yeah I noticed that, he was telling Cirkin to speed things up and keep the ball moving at one point. Also had a go at Ekwah as he told him to go wide to Roberts but he ignored him.

The likes of Ekwah, Neil and Jobe can learn loads from him.

Canny article in the Athletic about Jobe and his desire to learn. Mowbray raving about it.

Dack has movement like a number 9 in the box, great space he gets into. See also how he celebrates with Jobe for his second, absolute joy for Jobe. He will be a great mentor for the young lads and is a big reason why we got him in I think.

Gong to be great watching Jobe develop.

I’ve noticed a few Birmingham chaps have followed over and are keeping an eye on him on social media. Be great if we can take him to where he should be.

Mowbray has managed in the premier league btw, albeit he did get relegated

Juat logging back in after a nice round of golf at Mullion.

More pages of debate, still nee signings

will try again tomorrow

 

[Roppa]

I’m a bit sick of Mowbray answering questions about transfers, he’s only passing on info that he’s being told by others. I think it would be better if the club released info on incomings/outgoings via another person, and Mowbray could just talk how the squad are getting on and how match day is going. I reckon Mowbray would prefer it that way too!

He’s a long in the tooth manager, if he doesn’t want to answer a question, he absolutely won’t. He’s answering because he is party to it and he thinks it’s correct in his mind.

Just so see that cheeky SAFC admin post again, a little flag or daft hint. It feels like we are in the desert dying of thirst here.

Im fairly sure KLD had a 5year plan to get to the prem, if so I can’t see him being impatient for results.

 

[Charley Farley]

The England wimmin’s thread has disappeared.
My guess is that lots of posts going over the top with the banter and admin taking the post down.

Back to the ‘Summer Transfers’ thread again.

 

[SAFC Wilks]

Starting to get fairly annoyed at the amount of stick Speakman is getting like.

He’s clearly got a very good eye for talent in terms of recruitment, and will be working on the budget set by the owner.

Some say that he comes across arrogant, there’s a fine line between confidence and arrogance and maybe some are misinterpreting it. Even if he was arrogant though, I couldn’t care less as long as he’s a success.

The only thing that’s annoying is lack of depth in certain areas such as striker and CDM, but I’m certain we’d be working on it.
