Re: Hunt out.

1. What are Hunt's good attributes? 2. What is Noel poor at? How easy would it be to improve his weaknesses, and who would be able to do that? Or can we bring in an assistant who could cover for these discrepancies 1. He has a friendly relationship with the players and he enjoys being part of a har...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Port Vale (h)

The PV medical duo were excellent today, 30 seconds attention and a player seemingly at death's door would be right as rain again. I particularly enjoyed their first half cameo, three visits in a couple of minutes, without ever quite managing to get back to the Tech Area before having to come back ...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Port Vale (h)

Ahmed MOTM, is this a wind up??? Shut up dick. I'm with Windermere here, Ahmed was awful, should have been hooked 20 minutes earlier (even if it did mean Dorsett coming on) I don’t really think anyone played that well. Quite a few jittery performances, some ok and others poor. But playing badly and...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Port Vale (h)

Big shout out to the Vale player that was through on goal and stayed on his feet despite getting dragged back by Burns, nailed on red if he goes down. I thought that at the time. He should have scored afterwards. In the box and it would have been different. I will have to watch it back. Felt as tho...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Port Vale (h)

That goal reminded me of the scene in Band of Brothers when Lt Ronald Spiers sprints through the German forces at Foy and the Germans are so surprised and astonished that they forget to shoot him and just look at him mouths agape. The ball being Lt Spiers and the Germans being the Port Vale defende...

Re: Hunt out.

Dear Noel, Please for the love of god stop playing Pep’s inverted 4 3 3. Ruben did it because it suited the players we had at the time, only after his tactical vision was undeliverable. Stop splitting the centre backs to take goal kicks to the keeper to invite a press. Only for him to whack it up th...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Port Vale (h)

Going for a 1:0 or 1:1.

Port Vale have not lost away from home yet and not conceded a goal. Any win against them will have to be hard fought.

Re: Fixtures 2025/26

Game will be off, it only takes 3 players called up to get a game postponed and Dorsett, Fraser and Garcia would do it. It's voluntary isn't it? It is but given we still look disjointed (though with signs of improvement) and we are aiming to sign 2 or 3 more players before Monday, I would imagine t...

Re: The Local Journo Thread

Mid Sussex Royal James Earnshaw is leaving the Chronicle with Saturday his last match.

No replacement as yet, job advertised now if anyone is interested.

Doesn't say where he's going but has a new job and sounds like he's staying local.


Probably joining Reading as Press officer,

Re: Matt Ritchie

He fits the ‘spectacular and exciting’ transfer window. You know, the one where all you can see is Jacobson’s and Couhig’s legs sticking out of other club’s skips while they rummage around. “Look!! Found one!!” I don’t think that’s a narrative that sticks tbh. We’ve made some fairly ambitious signi...

Re: Confimred - Matt Ritchie

Did see a comment on Twitter (yes I know) about Ritchie being like a manager on the pitch and organising the press That encourages me a lot - esp after the shitshow at Bolton which was just about as poor an attempt to press as I’ve seen. That had more to do with the back four and Fraser, than the f...

Re: Confimred - Matt Ritchie

Fits the Ian Harte mould of a signing, hopefully has the same effect as he definitely has the quality. For a team that thrived on crosses and set piece delivery, it made complete sense. To be fair to Harte, his left foot was a weapon that more than made up for his lack of pace. Harte was never reli...

And on SSN We’re getting a chunky squad now. After all the nonsense about having 5 players to start the season we’re now looking at the likes of Ryan, Stickland, Rushesha, JOP, Sackey, Osho, Spencer not getting a look in at all Ritchie is a good player but I’m confused as to where he fits in.

Re: MATCHWATCH : AFC Wimbledon (h)

morganb Do you think we will go with a stronger team or stick with the Cup squad that has got us this far?


I don’t now what that strongest team is at the moment. There is still some way to go before even Noel knows what that is. It isn’t a criticism or complaint, it is just where we are.

Re: MATCHWATCH : Port Vale (h)

Completely agree with your first 8. Although reservations about Jacob would be happy with Dorsett too. I think I want to see something more dominant from Lane before he earns a start, and think Camara's earnt his start. So my front 3 would be: Kyerewaa, MOM, Camara Garcia certainly improving and do...
