Haggischomper Posted September 10, 2016 Report Share Posted September 10, 2016 Don't confuse 'dislike' with 'dont rate' In his limited gametime I think he is a just a big lump and not good enough for this level. My opinion. How quickly do you rate players? Christ, even scouts will run the rule over a player a few times 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kat Posted September 10, 2016 Report Share Posted September 10, 2016 I was quite pleased to see Tom Fry listed amongst the subs today as he has done well for the under 20s lately, I was looking at information on him and noticed he was released by Bristol City not so long go. Thought he had progressed through our ranks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobey_Dosser Posted September 10, 2016 Report Share Posted September 10, 2016 Going by McGhee's post match interview, it looks like Lee Lucas will be signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haggischomper Posted September 10, 2016 Report Share Posted September 10, 2016 Certainly, seemed like we were short in midfield today especially after grampa went off injured Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capt_oats Posted September 10, 2016 Report Share Posted September 10, 2016 Going by McGhee's post match interview, it looks like Lee Lucas will be signing.Just watched it there, certainly seems that's the intention. Clearly McHugh's concussion is a genuine concern (as it should be), if there's budget there then it makes sense if they feel Campbell's not quite ready for the first team, they can't put a date on McHugh's return and that's Lasley picked up another knock. At least they're in the position where they know what Lucas can/can't do, he's spent long enough at the club this summer. That said, it makes the decision to have him on the bench and not use him previously seem quite odd given that it seems the motivation to sign him now is based on the fact that he could have been used as cover off the bench today when Lasley had to go off. Who knows maybe McGhee just didn't fancy chucking a player who was essentially "on trial" and only had a couple of weeks of the short term deal to run into a league game. The fact that he seems to be a deep lying playmaker might mean he could offer a bit of creativity in the centre of the park as well. Though from the looks of things box to box running isn't his game, someone who can pick a pass in the middle of the park and look after the ball would be quite welcome.

Matt2101 Posted September 11, 2016 Report Share Posted September 11, 2016 Is anyone else worried that ryan bowman seems to have exactly the same wikipedia picture as wes fletcher?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmcalpin Posted September 11, 2016 Report Share Posted September 11, 2016 I'm getting a bit concerned that we are weak in the full back positions. I'm not convinced of Tait and by all accounts he didn't play well yesterday. Stevie Hammell is well past his best and again seemed to have been below his best yesterday. The only slight glimmer of hope is that Chalmers seems to be improving of late but again he's not the fastest in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MearnsWell Posted September 11, 2016 Report Share Posted September 11, 2016 The Blyth Bowman thing is reminiscent of the other English guy we signed in case we couldn't get Marvin (forgot his name - left winger?) , we ended up getting him off the payroll on the QT literally weeks after we did get Marvin. Bowman possibly is the clubs preferred option and Blyth was signed in case we didn't get him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daver Posted September 11, 2016 Report Share Posted September 11, 2016 I know a Hartlepool supporter through work and they really like Thomas.

daver Posted September 12, 2016 Report Share Posted September 12, 2016 Did your director dress up as a stormtrooper for the last game of last season at Plymouth? The guy I know did, along with his adult son - and they lost 5 nil! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goggles & Flippers Posted September 12, 2016 Report Share Posted September 12, 2016 I recall that Plymouth fans were raging we got him back in the January window, thought he was destined for stardom. Looks like we took him because we could, however he never shined for the U-20's so therefore never progressed up to the first team. Must be quite a dilemma for a Manager, a player that turns on the ability in training but doesn't deliver on the park on a Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goggles & Flippers Posted September 13, 2016 Report Share Posted September 13, 2016 Ryan Murrant joins the club as Marketing & Fan Engagement Manager. Flow's 3rd significant appointment in the Chapman with Head of Marketing & Commercial, Keith Campbell. This job title does sound very samey, is he still there?
