Gary Johnson - keep the faith!

We’ll come good. A few additions to this squad in January and he’ll turn it around. You can see he is making good improvements with the players he has got at his disposal already. A much better defensive display today against a very good side. We’ll finish mid table. We just have to get behind the p...

Personally, I think we should start building for the future. I’d play him and Tomlinson centre halves. Take a few errors on the chin from both of them, but they’ll gain huge experience and then be ready to go again next season - all the better for it. GJ knows how to spot a good player - it’s just t...

Keep calm! It’s not how we start, it’s how we finish the season. I’m sure GJ has this all in hand. Judging after less than half the season is madness. Let’s give him time. Barnet are a very good side, possible promotion contenders, so to only concede 1 demonstrates our defensive improvements. In GJ ...

Have to agree re Lapslie. He certainly looks one of our more ‘adequate’ signings in the summer. Can’t wait for the “players not up to this standard” to be offloaded and GJ new signings to be unveiled. Certainly need pace, but also more than satisfactory ability in the position they’re signed for. An...

QPR Under 23 CB Themis

Also set to sign Rochdale GK not sure on name

Excellent news! For Saturday or too soon?

Not long to wait to see if this is true :}

Mostly crap, and not really. To expand - we've put together one half of decent football (1st half vs Maidenhead where we went in at HT 4-0 up). We were looking really good at Notts before having a man sent off after 25 minutes, and did pretty well for the rest of the game (1-1) We've played 3, lost...

I see Gary Warren scored tonight for Tiverton as well.

Well, I found out that Halstead played the first half last night with a concussion from the previous game, so shouldn't really have played at all. I for one, think he will come good when he has settled, as he has left his young family behind, and is buying a place in the town, so for those of you h...

Sums it up well. Also GJ isn't happy...... :no: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/58568980 It’s all well and good GJ saying some players aren’t up to the standard and they won’t get a “group of games” here, but we have an injury depleted squad. So all of these players he is criticising, he will ...

The Wright /Holman partnership needs breaking up. All defenders hate pace but when they play us they can push high up the pitch knowing that they won't have to worry about balls in behind them. This in turn means their midfield are pressing high up on our midfield and defence resulting in us hoofin...

Signing any player at this level, they will clearly have some flaws in their game. It’s the ability of the Manager and coaching staff to minimise those flaws by playing them in positions that they flourish, supported by players who allow them to bring the best out of their game. The trouble is we ha...

Don’t worry guys… it’s all part of the 5 year plan! In GJ we trust

Buckland athletic? Well that’s certainly a major step up from Newton 66. :lol: Looking at his playing career, I see the current goalkeeping coach, Ken Griffiths, started life as a trainee with Torquay, before moving to Leicester City where he spent a few seasons. A brief spell at Hereford, before p...

‘Halstead really is a very good shot stopper. Perhaps one of the best we ever had. However his decision making on crosses was poor and he made a huge number of errors. Even when Adams game him a chance last season he made an error and never got another chance. Would be a good keeper if he can cut o...
