The squad 20/21

[aldoes mustache]

well on a positive note I've heard that Messi is joining for the season and that Ronaldo and bale will be at pp two. oh should say that, on champ manager lol

 

[Ian]

What that means to me is at best a season coming up where we should expect to finish mid table at best

That’s probably a more realistic expectation due to the fact that we have a new, untested manager and a set of new players (eventually!).

A mid table finish would hardly be a disaster, but given that we have not begun recruiting yet we don't really have much idea how we will perform.

The vast majority of clubs are in the same position as us and there is no guarantee that the small minority who are spending recklessly will occupy the top spots, as several of them are poorly run in other respects (Salford finished tenth last season, Mansfield narrowly avoided relegation to the Conference and Bolton are an accident waiting to happen).

It will be to some supporters !

A mid table finish would hardly be a disaster,

I'd have settled for that this season.

I follow Jamie O'Hara on Instagram and Woodyard is training with Billericay this week.....getting himself ready for a move up north next week I reckon!

That's a relief. He surely won't be signing for them, although after Jennings and McCullough, I suppose anything's possible.

 

[Rockford's Love Child]

As he is currently without a club he will have to keep himself fit somewhere, so I don't think it necessarily implies he is signing for us (although I obviously hope he does).

Lol, because Billericay is a well trodden training ground for impending Rovers' signees?!

I am not sure as to the geographic distribution of Covid cases in England but might this influence where players are prepared to go?

Money will have the final day in majority of cases.

some fans need to look at the bigger picture

Maybe, but I've not even heard any other names mentioned as potential central midfielders. I'm sure plenty is going on away from the public glare but all the talk has, quite reasonably, been around Woodyard.

 

[ONIGP]

According to TEAMtalk Exeter, Blackpool, Plymouth and Crewe are all interested in Caprice. Personally I think that he could do a job for us in L2 but slightly surprised at the level of L1 interest.

if he goes and mammy and the other lad we might have to clean our boots down, not that I'm fast-fit or good LOL

I'm sure you could serve up some hot crosses, though, AM!

 

[aldoes mustache]

sure could, oh yes this 50% off food in August is booking out quick give Brom golf a call if you want a table only a few to go we are mad busy at the mo

 

[White Squaddie]

Haha well I hope so in this case.....clearly knows O'Hara and keeping himself fit!

 

[Rockford's Love Child]

Plans to get fans back in stadiums could well be delayed after today's announcements, so perhaps our cautious approach was the right one.

 

[Rockford's Love Child]

Reports that Woodyard is signing for Wimbledon.

That would be hard to stomach.

 

[aldoes mustache]

if true then so be it we move on we will get players in and will be a good side
