After a long summer off, good to be back home and on here 😀 To a man they were all superb today. Can’t level any criticism on the players. Starting XI puzzled me after the line ups we had seen in pre season, particularly Davies dropping out and Conway coming in at LB and think we all questioned the Erhahon & McAtee decisions whilst recognising that sadly there weren’t any other options However I’d say that was Conways best game for us, Erhahon who hasn’t played for 4 months was outstanding and McAtee looked a real threat. Defensively we looked solid, the press all over the pitch was great, Gale on the transition looked deadly All in all a fantastic performance and result, we won’t always play like that but taking points off teams you’d expect to be in the bottom 8-10, PNE, Lincoln, Pompey etc is going to be critical for us Get something next week then we go in to Lincoln full of confidence with potentially a great start on the board

I’m sure each of the 3 people involved in the decision making process also have a number of veto’s. So rather than the final decisions resting with Harkin and him overriding Schuey it’s more likely Schuey felt his concerns weren’t big enough to use his (or one of) his veto’s

Alongside the obvious increase in quality, particularly against the top 5 or 6 sides we’ll come up against the biggest task for us will be delivering better performances week in week out. If you’re having an off day you could be sat there after 30 mins at home in a game you expected / hoped to win and be 2 or 3 down. We will obviously sign better players to compete but it’s also about the players delivering 7s and 8s out of 10 every week

Bigger fish to fry now and Huddersfield falling in to the trap they fell in to last season

Highest bidder i suppose and it would be hard to argue he’d get more out of a season in the champ compared to say the bundesliga

Dempsey close to Bradford I’ve seen. Decent move for both him and the club. Upgrade on Power and money in the bank

Think that was read in to a bit too deeply. Was more of a reel about his 25/26 season imo

One of our lot currently away and Sheehan and Christie are there with their families. Christie doing some football camp each morning Said the club are keen and ACD willing to get a return done but waiting to see what Brighton decide…

Wouldn’t surprise me if we saw more of 3 at the back next season so I think he’ll play more than we expect. Fitness pending. Also more than able to play LB

Think our medical team showed last season they could make players more robust. Tutu definitely springs to mind. If they can get the same out of Davies then he’ll definitely be an asset

Think this potential Ben Davies signing would be a shrewd one. On a free, decent pedigree, and an upgrade on the left side of the centre backs

Think the clue is in the title of the thread pal…

Matt Targett the latest name. Very solid LB at this level…

Hmmm not sure on this one… scored a decent amount of goals last season but went very much under the radar..
