    League 1 2024-25

    People banging on about the league being "much" tougher next season is just nonsense. Portsmouth, Derby and say Bolton are stronger than Rotherham, Huddersfield and Birmingham (who may struggle to manage their high wage bill). Yes Stockport and Wrexham are better than what's gone down and...

    Its the time for some serious questions to be asked

    I really don't think it's been as bad this season as people are making out. There's been some decent displays and we are 4th in the home form table with 48 points, 2 behind top. The issue is it's been coupled with some absolutely horrendous lifeless displays (mainly away) and as a team/fan base...

    Signings for next season

    Coulson and Rhodes are gettable, not sure Byers is. Chris Conn-Clark from from Altrincham attacking mid in non-league who's got over 30 goals/assist Lorant Tolaj also worth a shot 19 goals for Aldershot Jodi Jones surely gettable with again 30 goals/assist in League 2 I'd also look at Jonson...

    CJ Hamilton

    He's been very poor since signing his new contract but let's be honest, he's not a wing back and this formation kills him. Mainly because in general he receives the ball too deep. His end product is erratic however as an impact winger he'd be quite useful at this level, not as a wing back which...

    Have we become too entitled?

    I think it's just as important to be entertained than where we are in the league/division. But when the football is turgid and we aren't in play offs that's an issue.

    Sum Sonny Carey up in a sentence

    I don't get the hate for Sonny this season. He was playing well with Dougal before Xmas (when we were on a decent run) then suddenly after we beat Bristol Rovers at home (and played well) he was dropped and then has barely played over the last 3 months until yesterday. It's absolutely bizarre...

    £5m a year

    He's never going to spend "big" he's been pretty clear about that from the off so I'm not sure why some are surprised. I thought the interview was excellent, good to hear from him and he seemed pretty determined to get back into the Championship as he highlighted the increased TV deal. I don't...

    When loanees/ooc players leave - what’s left..

    I personally I think we are carrying a lot of deadwood so wholesale changes isn't the end of the world. Carey has an option so that will be taken up, not sure if anyone else does. Overall i think we have the basis for a decent squad but we'll need 7/8 players as numbers are low.

    CJ missing again.

    He wasn’t the worst player for us last night, he had an “ok” first half. But when the game isn’t going our way he definitely goes into his shell and doesn’t fancy it.

    Get this clown out of our club Sadler, NOW 🤬

    That was an horrendous to watch. Players and manager should be ashamed. What's frustrating is you could clearly see we were getting over-run in midfield/not winning any 1st or 2nd balls yet he stuck with the formation (again). So the same thing kept happening. I knew that was going to happen...

    Summer clear out

    I know we played badly Wednesday but getting rid of half the squad isn't the answer, plus players that have signed new contracts/or signed last summer aren't going anywhere. Realistically we need to get rid of 4/5 players and replace them with improved quality and some experience. This should...

    I don’t think Critchley is going anywhere

    He's not going anywhere. Depending where we actually finish he'll probably get the first 10-15 games of next season as well. We haven't improved at all this season so far and most games I'm not sure what our "style of play" is. After the last few weeks though some players really haven't done...

    Critchley(has someone had a word)R/BB Presser.

    You've misinterpreted what I've said. All the players in that squad will have played a formation that contains a back 4 before and most of them are experienced professionals. And he does imply both that he doesn't have the players for that formation and they're better in a 3. I'd suggest bottom...

    Critchley(has someone had a word)R/BB Presser.

    Clearly isn’t going to revert away from this back 3 setup, he pretty much says it outright. And suggesting we don’t have the players to play 4 at the back is kind of insane when they’ve all done it previously. Anyway at least he did finally take responsibility for Tuesday and he’ll live or die...

    (Groan) Team for Saturday

    Can i change my team now I've listened to him on radio lancs because there's no chance he's changing formation... Grimshaw Pennington Marv Casey Gabriel Virtue Carey Norborn Colusen Joseph Lavery

    (Groan) Team for Saturday

    I personally think Carey was in good form before Xmas then was suddenly dropped, so deserves a chance. Coulsen i personally wouldn't want to choose however some players were so bad Tuesday they don't deserve to be in the team tomorrow. Plus we are short of wingers in the squad in general. I've...

    (Groan) Team for Saturday

    I think at a bare minimum he needs to change to a back 4. Grimshaw Gabriel Casey Marv Husband Norborn Virtue Dembele Carey Coulsen Joseph

    A Balanced 4-4-2 formation

    As long as it's a back 4 i don't care if it's 433, 442, 4231 etc. It's the back 5 that isn't working.
