I found it quite funny when Clive said the main stand project was long term and Pete Matthews said it’s been long term for a long term! For me the most frustrating thing in the whole main stand redevelopment saga is, if we can’t afford a new main (which I completely get) then what are we going to d...

https://www.gloucestershirelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/former-bristol-city-bristol-rovers-9095336 Not surprising but JP confirms in this article that Matty Taylor took a "significant pay cut" to join us. Presumably part of the negotiations were "ok, I'll take that because...

Decent enough, 33 now so will be question mark over how many minutes can manage. A big physical forward to hold the ball up is badly needed, Aaron Pressley mentioned on Twitter.

We finished the game yesterday with 3 strikers on the pitch, 2 goals between them all season. Milton etc need to pull something out the bag, I don't perceive selling Goodwin without a plan 'good business' for the club as it stands.

He looked more useful than NBO, seemed to be frozen out very quickly under Clarke for one reason or another.

Chris Hargreaves?

That's where we need attention. The club should not be ran totally by volunteers no matter how well intended. We need to fund a full time CEO with a fresh approach, we also need to hear more from the board on what is happening with investment and revenue generation not just the same old answers. Gr...

Has Artell been interviewed previously?

kags

Alternative reality, not just ‘bad luck’ we are bottom of the table and not scored in 10 games. Performances have merited the points tally we have gained so far and that’s not good enough.

kags

Watching the video interview, there is a bit in the middle part where it's clear this is the end of the road for Wade. Makes little sense and performances (which have been poor bar maybe one game) have matched results. Also obvious that he and Kevin Russell are 'coaches' and not managers, and mostly...

Most games (at home) we have a purple patch where we're untouchable (normally) for about then minutes, this happened in the 2nd on Saturday, Northampton realised this and 5hit housed their way out of it by outfield players feigning injury and their keeper wasting time with goal kicks This took all ...

Are Lloyd, Goodwin and Street up to it anyway? How many league 1 goals did they get between them last season - 4!
Desperately need a goalscorer to replace May, and partner Keena. Otherwise we just won’t stay in this league.

kags

Has he signed for the year or until Jan? Good news with extra body in there. My worry at the start of preseason was we would not have enough strength in depth through an injury crisis. Am a little happier now with a few experienced additions. One more Central defender and a 30 goal a season loanee ...

Wish we would step out of the non league culture, absolute charity at that price.

Matt Taylor formerly of Walsall fits the bill.

Thanks. At the risk of being a cynic, it’ll take more than a couple of banners to improve the atmosphere. It’s a numbers game and we don’t really have the numbers or generally the purpose. FGR at home showed what it can be like. But, the initiative sounds a positive one so fingers crossed it has an...

9 yellow cards and 4 goals in 40 plus games, surely we can aim a bit higher? Not going to sell many season tickets with the lack of new contracts signed and outgoings as it stands.

kags

This could be the defining signing of the Moore-Wade era. If he flops, then is that the end of the road for Moore here? If he scores this season and even more next and gets sold for £3-5 million then it crowns a magnificent three years. Same for every signing This is our record fee, with reports th...

Norton has only made 20 apps,needs alot more than that to Improve.

Also 16 appearances for Norton last season, 0 goals. Albeit many of these were short cameos off the bench.

Interesting listen, fair point about the lack of experience and young make-up of the squad therefore basically how it's imbalanced. The main issue is the assumption he and the players will get time, only so much before the inevitable will happen. I am not sure I agree there is anything ‘inevitable’...

Making it hard for ourselves, the recruitment has been poor this summer. Look at the forward options today, every week there's nothing on the bench to change a game. Not sure why we paid a fee for Adshead.

I thought Nlundulu was suspended for this weekend but I see one of his yellows was in the League Trophy. He really needs to cut out the stupid yellows for dissent, though. Off the top of my head, I think he has had two for arguing with officials, one for kicking the ball away, one for getting invol...

Two really good opinions and I also agree with a lot of what you say. As the new season dawns I feel overall we are in a steady place which hopefully will see us safe come the end of the season. I do have a few concerns though as follows. 1. If Alfie May is sold we are in trouble. I appreciate I am...

Lee Carsley not been mentioned much, heavily linked back in 2018 before Duff was appointed. Mainly probably due to links with Andy Wilcox. Current England U21 boss, possibly wouldn't be interested now sadly.

Agree not easy to replace, but not irreplaceable. Showing his limitations at this level and poor recent form.
