Title: the squad as it stands.
Post by: Ballers on July 18, 2007, 03:44:27 PM
1. Stuart COBURN
2. Steve ASPINALL
3. Gary SCOTT
4. Karl MUNROE
5. Darren TINSON
6. Jake SEDGEMORE
7. Robbie LAWTON
8. Val OWEN
9. Colin LITTLE
10. Rod THORNLEY
11. Warren PEYTON
12. Joe O'NEILL
13. 
14. Stephen ROSE
15. Chris LANE
16.   
17. Chris SENIOR
18.   
19. 
20.
21.

Starting to take shape a bit now. Add Acton (13), McFadden (16), Potts (18) and a left back (19) and I think we're starting to look ok.

and a decent sized (6ft 3ins +) striker/target man, and then we might be sorted.

Of the 15 named, 12 played in last season's squad that were relegated.

Of the new 3, IMO:-

Laney is an improvement at RB
Tinson is as good if not better than Bandy
Sedge is not as good as Lewis.

So, IMO only a marginal improvement in the squad, on last season,  as it stands.

Could be another long season!

Dont forget Senior, you cant say he was part of the squad that was relegated because he only played a few games- and is a great player....and have you really seen enough of Sedgemore to decide whether or not he's better than lewis....i mean he's probably not but give him a chance!!!

sedgemore is better than lewis fact. can take corners and freekicks i'd rather have a decent corner taker than a long throw and he is definately the more complete player.

Jake Sedgemore has played two friendly games - hardly the time to start judging him really.

I feel mortally wounded by my Peake count. I'm considering suicide.  ::)

As if we didnt know this to start with!

I do think some people are kidding themselves that this season will be anything more than a survival fight. But we've known that for the past three seasons now, as our experience grows that fight gets easier. I dont think we'll be comfortable this season but i expect us to be slightly more competative. That'll do for me!

At the risk of being peaked, you're all a bunch of gobsh*tes....specially that Ecky who does he think he is?
Take your season ticket back, we don't care, we need fans who will get behind the lads and put their money and effort where their mouths are.

Heathcote out.

I second that! Neither of em have done anything for this club! A summer of discontent indeed!

I always thought "lewis fact" was rubbish, nowhere near as good as Lewis Chalmers.

We'll p1ss midtable - FACT

We wont piss mid table we will struggle but I do think

Lane is better than previous right back - lets say assa as he probably played most there
Sedgemore is definately better than lewis
Tinson is better than Band

With another striker and a good left back we should survive on the pitch this year. If we dont get these two players it will be hard but the experience we have is greater and we are a more complete team.

Heathcote out - frank sidebottom in !!!

i think as always we are looking to survive and having assessed the teams who have come up
i reckon we will not be looking at the agm for help this year (as we should have been the first year,points deducted and all that)
tinson has to be a great asset
the rest i dont watch enough games to know about and feel y'all are being preemptive as in my 40 years of watching or not watching pre season games i realised they mean duck all

lets become pessimists after the first five games and get behind whoever turns out for us for the first games.
