Gary Johnson, stick or twist? - As of 07/03/23

Look at the bloke’s history of asset stripping ffs, it was always going to end in tears. He backed us when we almost went up, he could have probably then sold the club on for a profit and made it ‘sustainable’ if we had got promoted. Now it’s probably plan B… A little bit of communication would be ...

Gary Johnson, stick or twist? - As of 07/03/23

I'm not sure it makes much difference to the current season whether he stays or goes now, I don't believe anyone can dig this squad out of relegation. However someone new needs to be in now to start rebuilding the team next season. The recruitment last season was wrong - you simply cannot build a te...

Retained list out!

Retained list out!

Wouldn't have thought it so unlikely - he clearly enjoyed his time and Johnson can point to players like CLE, Little and Lewis who have moved to Torquay, got regular football and now jumped back to play in the league. He needs game time at this point in his career and we would like offer a good opti...

Retained List 2022/23

He was a,20 y/o kid keeper ffs. Can't think of many that age starting in the Prem, especially keepers. Try a bit harder and hound him out, or back him if selected. I'm trying to get into this Halstead bashing, if he becomes first choice he deserves backing. However, I don't putting any stock whatso...

Retained List 2022/23

My main question with CLE playing at a higher level is where he would play. He really has played with us as a classic number 10 with a very free role behind Wright who was a focal point. Both him and Wright have been good enough at this level for Johnson to build the style around those two. Are ther...

2022/2023 Campaign.

Holman was known to Gary Johnson so can't really be laid at Pete Johnson's door, Lolos was a pretty well known prospect in the South West and there was quite some surprise he was released by Plymouth and I think most here were delighted to sign him and I'd say Halstead was a fairly known quantity ha...

Transfer talk.

More sorry to see Whitfield go as Nemane - Whitfield had much more end product. I did like Nemane's work rate and he did show good improvement, but I think he's far from the finished article.

Whitfield Signs for Stockport County

Probably very likely Nemane will go too as he's obviously looking for a new club They did well for us first half of the season but Gary will replace and adapt. We went 15 games undefeated at the end without them after all . Think Adam Randell is the biggest loss, we will do well to get a loanee of ...

Whitfield Signs for Stockport County

Shame, he really was one of the key players in the superb first part of the season. Always offered really good width and tied up two opposition players in most matches.

Think this will be a bigger miss than a couple of the comments here suggest especially with him going to a key rival.

New Kit

I think the away kit is designed so if there is a floodlight failure the players can carry on in the dark with no problems.

Waters,Umerah, Nelson, Buse,Warren plus two first year pros released Shame about Buse - not that I think its the wrong decision, but last season he had decent spell in the team and looked to be developing well. Unfortunately he never reestablished himself after picking up and never really got into ...

Clarke Osborne ( episode 912 )

I’m of the understanding that part of his company or one of his companies has a business venture worth £100 million deal to do with broadband or something along those lines… so am I correct in thinking that he can write off tax against a company that is loosing money so he doesn’t have to pay as mu...
