At least DM is know in circles for helping you get players to progress. What circles is DM known in for helping players to progress??

Brown hasn't played, no. Haven't had the trialists confirmed - I know Renedi Masampu was there in Wales and Bola was on their radar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owls maniac Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 We’re a league 1 club. Why are people surprised that we are picking up QPR rejects? QPR are an infinitely better side than we are right now. We just need players who will do a job in the pub league. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These sort of players need to introduced to the first team slowly over time. Maybe, I'm taking to much notice of the fans forums and worrying over nothing.

It is another matter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orlando_Trustful Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Happy with these types of signings provided we are able to keep our current players with experience. Let's hope the next few weeks we bring in a proven GK and a proven striker. if so, I'll be relatively happy for a decent season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess time will tell. I hear what you are saying by the way, and I have my concerns too about the players we have brought in too, but due to the state we are in these are the types of players we can attract and sign. Signing older players previously on ridiculous wages and then allowing the club to get in to the position of having 15 players, all out of contract at the end of one season, means that we would always be having to do a complete rebuild job. Another masterstroke by our woeful Chairman! It's compunded by the fact we've been relegated. We still do have some core experience in the team and hopefully they can be the ones to bring the best out of our new recruits. It's not ideal but it's what we are faced with. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TodwickOwl Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Starting to look across the team - the defence looks experienced and should be head and shoulders good enough for this league with Palmer / Dunkley / Iorfa / Hutch all in there. Across the middle - Luongo/Bannan is obviously going to be up there with the best in the league, will they stay the course with no injuries? Not sure - but it looks like we've added some youth in there too. Forwards - we're still one off here, whether we will get another striker in or not with the current situation is probably asking too much. I think we need a Keeper, Striker and possibly a winger - and we've got the makings of a decent side. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can't afford players with a proven track record. Unless it's a proven track record of not bring very good. It really is as simple as that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn't. We are shopping in Poundland now, so we have to take the best of what we can get and afford. And who knows how these lads will turn out. We've got to give them a chance as it's all we can do. Don't write them off already before a ball has been kicked in anger. ^^^^^^* This. We’ve been in free fall. Let’s hope these guys can put the brakes on and turn this big ship around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philb125 Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Some of our fans in here are on the wind up surely? How do you criticise the signing of Shodipo who scored 10+ goals in this league last term and then say you want players with proven track record??? Some folk just want to moan, or troll. Not sure which one anymore. Crazy times. 4 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously we want young, hungry, proven, experienced players who are currently free agents, don't read the paper or talk to other players about what Chansiri is like to work for, and are willing to work for peanuts. Should be easy. Don't know what Moore is playing at. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iorfa especially is way better than this level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
