Not at all. Owners will know, but it would be remiss of a manager not to make a point in what is effectively a pre season game. All part of the politics. Link to post Share on other sites
Hewie 94 Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 My prediction is that we will get some good players in, but it will happen in the last week. We will then end around 8-10 on the table and everyone will be complaining that we didn’t get them in quick enough. it’s not the fault of the club that either. We all know the last minute rush of the window. We are playing hard ball now and it will change once we get to the end of the window which, for no ones benefit, is weeks into the season. its understandably frustrating for fans who see the fixture list coming up quickly and a tough start to the season.

Downsouth 6,175 Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Yeah come on guys refrain from match chat let SmogDane get the thread up and we will then be able to discuss to our hearts content the new vibrant and exciting team they call The Boro! Would suggest that as many as possible pm @SmogDane to get him to get the threa up asap. Trouble is will he sing and play his guitar again? Will he give us as much info as possible about Shrewsbury, does he even know where the place is and names of any players? So many questions😉 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Problem is we used the same tactic the last two summers and it didn't work. Under pulis we would up with saville on the last day and under woodgate we managed to get no one over the line until January. Link to post Share on other sites

He looked out of his depth last season, but he's still young and played very well in his one full season with Blackpool. To be honest it was very harsh of us to throw him into the starting 11 for Leeds away for him to be destoryed and Knock his confidence. So does deserve a 2nd chance Link to post Share on other sites
xathras 178 Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Let's give bola a chance. The whole squad under performed last season and I think he deserves a set of games under Neil to see if he is ready or not. Link to post Share on other sites

It's all the worse if they're having to pull out PR stunts to sign dross like Sanogo. Just to put things into perspective, we signed George Friend from a Doncaster side who finished 24th and conceded 80 goals (1st for goals against). We signed Grant Leadbitter the same summer from an Ipswich side that finished 15th and conceded 77 goals (joint 2nd highest). Then the summer after we signed Dimi from a relegated AEK Athens side. We signed Adomah from a relegated Bristol side who scored 59 goals (which was the 7th lowest goal for). Personally Adomah contributed to 7 goals in 40 games the season Bristol were relegated (Sanogo has 3 in 15)*. Judging players by a teams performance is a dangerous game. * I get that Adomah and Sanogo play in different positions. 7 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Dan_Boro_Till_I_Die 1,179 Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 QPR spending that Eze money with some intriguing signings there having a go it seems. Weather or not Warburton deliverys is another matter. Link to post Share on other sites

It's a fair point, and I'd personally have no issues with Stewart joining, but I just think Sanogo is going to be a dud wherever he ends up. Even ignoring the team, his own career stats are rubbish. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

I’d prefer they had a competitive game together before the league starts. They can get injured in any match, you can say don’t pick them in the first league game in case they get injured for the second game. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
