Lovin it

Anybody trying to read anything into anything in this game needs to give their head a serious wobble.  We're still some way short of having a full squad and so it is inevitable that some players are going to be out of position in pre-season.  Its the same every season; we know pre-season is about fitness and, for us this year, giving trialists games - and yet - every year we get 'analysis' of the games. Mental.
Just watch and enjoy seeing a bit of footy on a lovely summer's day (although we're all inside watching it on RamsTV!)

I don't know but it will be a sell out.

Is McGoldricks head really that big .  Get it in the box

Ah so it was our fault MM overspent then and we went into administration?, right gotcha.

Champions elect, I like it ?
More importantly, at least HubFootballUK have got a potential new signing in a clean shirt this time!!
 

You do know we are still under a strict business plan don't you?, so how can we offer more money than Boro???.
Have a day off will ya.

it's okay laughing at that but why have we beaten boro? i certainly hope its because hes a local lad and doesnt want to move. and not down to us offering more money, if its the latter we have learnt nothing.

Didn't realise that the GIF did a swear at the end when I posted it, honest!

Really? You think we're just signing any old players in case no-one else wants to come here? 

Spot on..............a broken record

Tom Barkhuizen is only 28, I don't think he is on the decline. Mendez Laing I can understand your concern. Those are the only outfield players we have signed. Are you forgetting that we have the likes of Bird, Knight, Thompson who are young players full of energy and will play every week.

Just out of interest, I'd this team 'old' or not?
Wildsmith (26)
Byrne (30)   Davies (37)   Cashin (21)   Forsyth (33)
Bird (21)   LThompson (20)
Barkhuizen (28)   Hourihane (31)   Mendez-Laing (30)
McGoldrick (34)
Wycombe started 40 if their 46 games with older squads and still reached the Playoff Final. Sheff Weds also named a lot of old match day squads yet finished 4th.
Crewe, Wimbledon and Doncaster used the 3 youngest squads in the league... and all finished in the bottom 3. Fleetwood with another young squad finished just 19th.
I dont understand why you can't see we're building a balanced squad.

We’ve signed a 26, 28 and 30 year old. Hourihane is 31. Hardly knocking on retirements door ffs ?
The one person almost everyone wants to re-sign is 37 year old Curtis Davies who played every minute last season in the championship. 

Isn't it lovely to get back to moaning about players not being good enough for us after all this while.
