He isn't a talented player, he was a talented player and has not been so for years. There is a lot more to being a footballer than just the physical capabilities, mental capabilities are really important, moreover in the high the level you play at. And sadly for many reasons, he does not...

Maybe he's just saying that so any prospective suitors think his injury woes are fully behind him or maybe he just wasn't all that !!

I hope so, because I'm not convinced he's a striker who bangs them in for fun

Would Delcroix be 4th/5th choice? If he's had a good pre-season and is fit then he would be pushing for a start/provides flexibility for a back 3 option and offers LB cover also

I hope he knows that his position requires him to score goals :ROFLMAO:

Yes they were, however none of the above were the complete package, in fact none of them were anywhere near. I'm not thinking we will sign the complete package, but this time the money mentioned is higher and therefore we have to hope the player signed brings more to the table. The rumours are...

If spending on a multi million pound striker brings better movement, better finshing, more physicality and the ability to hold up the ball and bring others into play (or create space for them), then yes they and the team will fare better.

Just heard about the draw and how they are keeping teams playing in Europe apart. Don't like this, feels like a ruse to introduce some seeding, this is a cup competition and it should be a straightforward draw.

Well were knackered then, how on earth are we going to replace those important 1st teamers

Little bit of prospective needed, Crawley are lower L2 level and that showed last night. However there were positives. Parker had a decent game at RB and is for me as good if not better than Key. He needs regular game time to ensure his development (and not on loan elsewhere). Galbraith looked...

Or maybe Whittaker just isn't that good (which is my belief). Yes at Plymouth he was scoring freely (well for a period at least) and was maybe the big fish in a small pond. The bottom line he had 1 decent season in 23/24 and really that was half a season. He is a very lazy player and for some...

Bloody hell, what score do you predict if our defense does get ripped apart ;)

Surely Parker is only playing due to the lack of CB options, even if Cabango and Santos (who I have grave doubts about) are fit that still isn't enough players at that position. Silver lining has to be that it spells out how weak our defensive ranks truly are. The FB"s can't defend very well...

The bottom line is we need to have a positive goal difference and if possible scoring 60+ goals. Who scores them not so important.

Losing does matter, but not so much in pre-season. Progression is vital and the players need to see that progression so that they can believe.
