Re: Hunt out.

The really worrying thing is after 4 games, there is zero idea what our team identity is. That and Hunt's seeming inability to adjust to the actual game, as opposed to what he expects to happen. Criminal that no subs were made before 60 odd minutes, and his justification for not using Elliot is lau...

Re: Hunt out.

I reckon we had as many in our 18 from last season as most teams in this division tbh. He chose not to include Dorsett and Rushesha who played last year as well Not discounting that Mbengue, Bindon and Knibbs were huge losses though The worrying thing is just how disjointed we look coming forward. ...

Re: Hunt out.

And another thing. At the start of 2023/24 we had pretty much the same players that ended up doing so well for us last season. We had recruited Knibbs, Smith, Wing, Savage, Elliott and Pereira during the summer of 2023 and yet Selles lost 11 of the first 16 games that season!! I hope that the player...

Re: Hunt out.

I cannot believe how many of our fans are bedwetters. Three defeats and it is the end of the world! Frankly if the new owners sack Hunt early in the season, without giving him a chance to mould a team out of the hotchpotch he has been given to get a tune out of, then we truly will deserve to get rel...

Re: Hunt out.

Also when Hunt took over his record in his first 3 games was 1-1 0-2 and 0-3. There was a clamour to get rid of him then too and he went on to win the next 3. Give the bloke a chance.

Re: Hunt out.

Ridiculous overreaction from those talking about sacking Hunty. 1/ The takeover went through later than expected which affected retaining players and signing new ones. 2/ pre-season was affected by the above and players haven not had the chance to gel yet. 3/ we have already had a number of unfortun...

Re: Squad for 2025-2026

PS. I have just watched the Rob and Joe interview online. It it was a very interesting insight into the finances of the club. Clearly some financial issues came out of the closet after the takeover was completed and that has affected their spending plans. But what was encouraging is that they said w...

Re: Squad for 2025-2026

Great we have signed Williams as we needed another CB option. The one thing I don’t get is why we would sign Richie (assuming we are actually interested). He would be very expensive and would seem to be a luxury as we have a lot of right wing and right back options. I would much rather that we spen...

Re: Derrick Williams - confimred

A bit surprised by this one. Seems there's no transfer fee, but Atlanta have a future sell-on fee: https://www.atlutd.com/news/atlanta-united-transfers-derrick-williams-to-reading-fc-2025 :?

Re: Michael Cheek (Bromley)

Cheek has an incredible National League record and then stepped up to L2 last season seamlessly.

£300K would seem a fair price but at age 34 I doubt we would take the risk - but it does make you wonder why no one has ever given him a go at a higher level. Clubs might have missed a gem.

Gus the teenage cow Brogue has assured me this should be announced today.


Will that be alongside the announcements of Bowler and Cole?

Pretty sure that's the joke Andrew.


And I always believe every word Brogue says. You mean they are not all signing :cry:

Re: Team for AFC Wimbledon

I thought Garcia was brilliant last night but might be best to hold him back and play him off the bench. I assume Wing will not be available. I think Ryan has looked the best LB this season so I would probably go: Pereira Abrefa (tough call as Ahmed was incredible last night) Stickland Burns Ryan Sa...

He looks a very good prospect and would hope he can back that performance up going forward. Sods law its Plymouth away! That w...

Re: BFTG - Huddersfield

I agree with the other posts. Of course it is always disappointing to lose a couple of games but considering we have lost so many players and have to bed in new ones, it will take time. We have also been given what looks like a very difficult first 10 games or so and so patience is required. Just a ...

Do we know if it was a free transfer as he still had a year left on his Pompey contract.
