It's simple, we have lost some very good players and the replacements have not been up to it. It's early days but with one or two exceptions our recruitment looks haphazard, scatter-gunned and inadequate. There seems to be no over-arching plan as we desperately take whatever punt an agent puts in fr...
Myself and Brogue don't just throw out names here on a whim. Our trust has been hard-earned with club insiders. If we say it's Derrick Williams then it's Derrick Williams. And if any deal breaks down or doesn't get announced then it's usually due to last-minute goalpost-shifting by the player/agent ...
I've seen him play quite a few times for and against the Five Stripes in MLS. A very experienced and, IMO decent player. Pretty well thought of by Atlanta Utd fans. IMO this signing is more to do with the fact he fits the 'no dickheads' requirement than him qualifying to play for Ireland. He was bo...
Another one of these "sort out my mate" contracts.
This lad is from Waterford, the exact same part of Ireland Hunt is from. Looks like we are taking another punt on someone who has a connection to the manager.
huge credit to pompey for the excellent atmosphere they created in a tie against the back-ups of a team in a division below them in a tinpot competition, very impressive
It's early in the season but I have sufficient insight and foresight to confidently predict the following: current team finishes midtable at best (providing no injuries to key players) and most likely a few places above relegation zone if we get normal amount of injuries If we sign a decent striker ...
DK looks absolute dog shit He looks like what he is, an agent-led signing from the German lower leagues. In other words, a massive and hopeful punt, Whoever his agent is has hawked him around Europe and we have taken the bait (and the reason for that remains unclear as his record even in German low...
You can’t sell your goal scorers and expect to win games no fault with effort work rate. But we could play to midnight with this team and won’t score. Going to be a long season. They have cashed all their chips on MOM and I would not be confident that a kid with very little first-team experience is...
We have 3 good midfielders but two of them don't score anywhere near enough and the other one is a long-shot merchant. We have nobody breaking into the box from deep to feed off rebounds or lay-offs and will badly miss Knibbs. MOM has done nothing today but they will stick with him. In short, we lac...
assistant on that side has had a major impact on the game, disallowed camara goal and then the Hackett one is OK. Frustrating thing is we can't see the replays but I have very little trust in their ability to get these calls right
I'm hearing he is waiting because we are negotiating with his team on a nice chunky signing-on fee and increased wage offer after the Knibbs deal goes through.
