John Finnigan for sure.
Archie, Bob Bloomer and David Norton also in midfield. Yatesy bust a gut too.
Well actually all of the squad 1997-1999. What a time that was.

That's because he has been injured (again.)

Fuller

Best of luck for the future Grant.
Never really got a look in here, good time in his career to move on now.
Just hope we don’t get a run of defensive injuries.

Fuller

I heard that we do train at Whaddon Road on the Friday before Saturday matches.

Fuller

Keogh at 37 younger than Curtis Davies.
Played for us in 2007/08.

Fuller

Richard Keogh signs for Steve Cotterill’s FGR.

I'm still completely buzzing from it.
Nice, love a bonus pod. I'm guessing at some sort of interview....

Steve Cotterill?

Often think it’s a market we could look at in view of the problems we have signing players.
Think we did have one or two years ago.
Talking about players who come straight to a club like ours rather than having a spell elsewhere in the UK first.

Fuller

As previously mentioned I reckon it’s wide man Wes McDonald. Free agent that DC has worked with before.

Fuller

Fair play to you lads for producing the podcast every week.
I’ve had numerous conversations with Robins fans since Saturday and most agree with the sentiments of those who’ve contributed.
After the best part of two hours of conversation on the podcast I don’t feel any better…..

Fuller

Any ideas who it is/was? DC said it would be on non-contract terms, whoever it is / was. I can't recall the last time we had a player on non-contract terms. Probably in our Southern League days! Half the squad were non-contract back then, could come and go as long as seven days notice of approach w...

Not if the pitch is waterlogged.
This fixture is fated. Rearranged three times now.

They might entice DC back

Fuller

Interesting words from DC in the interview. “It's been a really tough window, there is no hiding from that.” No doubt we were in for a number of players that we couldn’t attract to WR. He isn’t the first or the last manager here who’ll have the same challenges. Would be interesting to see who the pl...

Fuller

My post from Tuesday :-
“Another possibility is/was Wes McDonald who did well for DC at Walsall. Played against us wide left when we won 2-1 up there four years ago. He’s currently a free agent.”

Will be interesting to see what happens with those two in May.

Fuller

I doubt some of the names being banded about would consider joining us for the wages we offer or even think they’d have to stoop to having a trial.
Probably it’s another unknown.
But you never know.

Fuller

A couple of mentions of Williams playing left of the back three.
After his calamitous cameo appearance there against Orient, I wouldn’t bother.

Fuller

JP tweeting Street likely to miss rest of season with knee injury.
Greg Sloggett midfielder expected to be offered a contract after his trial.

Don't mention the name "Buckle" on here please.
That was another era that didn't end well.

Fuller

Surprised we’ve let Smith go. Thought he had a great game v Portsmouth. Just hope we get an explanation of why we’ve let some players go and the reasoning of the players we’ve signed. Wholesale January changes in 2013 and 2015, both didn’t have the desired effect, and I hope recent goings on does no...

Curtis Thompson signing for Grimsby says JP.

Fuller

Wasn’t Byron Harrison literally a last minute (i.e. 23.59) signing in January 2013?
What others have gone to the wire?
Transfer deadline day in 2015 was a bit of a disaster. Signed a load of dross in desperation and it didn’t end well did it.

Fuller

Of course we’re expecting new faces tomorrow. If not we are f@@ked.

Departure Olyinka?

Fuller

Christian Doidge rejoins FGR from Hibernian.
Opens the way for Matty Taylor?

Fuller

Kieran Hehir played for us in the mid to late 1970's, he scored two hat tricks in his first 10 games or so for us and looked a real prospect before fading away. I played golf with him a few times and he was a great chap, very sorry when I heard he had died at a young age. https://www.ctfc.com/news/2...

Fuller

Not the first time he's been linked with PV, but if he does, it makes it even harder for clubs like ours to compete.

Fuller

I've watched the second half now and yes Wycombe were the better side. Mooney went off injured after missing a great chance, Charlie Griffin came on as sub and there were few clear cut chances after that, although Guinan should have done better for us with his one opportunity. I thought Caines and S...

Fuller

Not much on the telly tonight so I’ve dug out a dvd boxset of the two play off semi finals v Wycombe in 2006 and the final v Grimsby. Watching the home leg v Wycombe now and Whaddon Road was absolutely packed that evening, commentator said just under 7,000 were squeezed in. Supporters half a dozen d...

Fuller

Very valid points Broadway Brian.
Losing Goodwin and probably Street could well be a disaster. Just when you think we’ve turned the corner under DC’s new style of play.

Fuller

Matt Taylor was a very good player at this level for Bristol Rovers and Oxford but sadly I think his best days are behind him. We’ll see. Another possibility is/was Wes McDonald who did well for DC at Walsall. Played against us wide left when we won 2-1 up there four years ago. He’s currently a free...

Fuller

Mullin probably earns more in a week at Wrexham than most of our players earn in a month.
Billy Waters could well have been more in our price bracket, but he’s gone to join Grant at Donny Rovers.

Fuller

Josh Griffiths in goal for WBA and Caleb Taylor now on as sub in the battle v Wolves at the Hawthorns.
Some disgraceful scenes there, sad to see.

Fuller

ctfc-fan wrote: ↑27 Jan 2024, 20:31 Perhaps he got up DCs nose….

I think he did. Also asking about Dan Adshead’s loan possibly finishing when he should have been asking about players coming in.
In DC I trust.
