Don't really understand your point as last time I looked league games don't exist in isolation but thanks mod i'll make no references to the rest of the season here. But lets not be disingenuous as initially I responded to your comment about not being sure if anyone can do better than Caldwell...

Must be trolling with no reverence to the last 3/4 months.

Might as well carry on with this shower of shit then (y)

Lowest xg I've ever seen. No sympathy for players or managers mouthing off. Taylor's tackle which started it all looked reckless on first viewing so he was arguably fortunate to begin with.

This is pretty much how I've felt. I have a feeling City's season will mirror Ajose's, if he does well I think City will too which is more optimistic than I was feeling. He's probably going to need to provide a hefty percentage of goals next season. He does have that bit of extra quality...

Couple of signings from a team relegated. 1 who's been in teams down there for several years. Parkes is about a par, not much of an upgrade but no real complaints there for the depth. Not sure about '2 decent quality' goalkeepers given the standard they've both been playing at the majority of...

I'm really concerned with the quality of signings made so far. A lot look like backward steps. Can't see anything other than mid-table and dropping a few places compared to the season gone with no real danger of mounting a play-off push.

But you repeatedly defend Tisdale/question (the strength of) opinions on him, etc., across a number of threads, in a vehement and accusatory manner. It's like you take it personally too... Surely you see the irony when you accuse people of getting upset/too involved? Your responses are just...

Squad rule restrictions? Whilst there's no limit on u20s, there's only so many foreigners which can be registered. Unsurprisingly very few of their established stars were trained in England. Cesc being let go/sold would have compounded Derby's loan offer being rejected as they lost another in...

More positive business from Taylor. Hoped for someone ready to challenge for a start but regardless more depth was required. It might have seemed obvious to a lot of us that we needed another CB but it's such a nice change when the 'obvious' is also seen by the manager. Plenty on here argued...

In fairness he didn't say anything about 'numbers', that was your interpretation, he just mentioned 'originality'. His business has been a mixed bag for me. Some really poor, questionable business with aging and/or players who haven't set Lg2 alight the majority of the incomings. However the...

...he also wants another winger, someone with pace. Points to a greater likelihood of seeing someone like Martin or Taylor in advanced midfield possibly. At this rate we're going to have a very strong looking bench. Also mention of Stockley and his importance. The suggestion is also that no...

Phew, don't know why there was any doubt. I should have trusted Matt to recognise we will look short in there after an injury and completely exposed if there's a recurrence of recent years and suffer multiple. His work in the transfer market looks pretty close to spot on so far.

Fair points but a bit of digression apart from arguably the Corr comparison as that's the only bit which touches upon his ability which is all I've been discussing. I agree Corr in his prime was much better. I didn't compare Rhead to anyone specific though nor did I say he was a top Lg2 striker...

Does a job at this level and gives them a different focus/plan if needed. Not a bad 4th option at all, which is the main point the depth Lincoln have. 8 goals & 8 assists last season so there's plenty of productivity. I'd be happy if our '2nd' striker had similar stats this season... The fat...

Tisdale's entitlement coming to the fore again? There's no doubt Stockley is worth more to City but I suspect his market value is around the £1mil mark max. My feeling is the target man type has become a bit of a niche player. I strongly suspect it's a bit of a dying bread especially the...

The relegated teams look stronger than last year. I expect more than just one play-off appearance from them compared to last season, i.e. only Coventry. There's also some individuals who in other circumstances are well beyond Lg 2 standard, i.e. Beckford, E. O'Connell, Baxter, Aneke, Gilbey. I...

The investment and recruitment are two very separate issues which are getting coloured in together here. I agree with the comments on investment tbh it's a world away from Exeter and Lg 2. It does illustrate what's necessary to get to your position and stay there which no matter how you look...

Yeah but Waghorn is likely to be sold (last I heard Sheff Utd are in with a £5mil offer atm). McGoldrick was released in the summer too. Gutted by this news. All the clubs mentioned are logical moves for Jayden. Can't see him turning them down nor the club being too difficult to negotiate with...

Sorry but that's a really stupid comparison to make surely you see that? Obviously valuations/fees are typically linked to level of competition. A Lg2 club is never going to be able to extract the same sums for their players as a Championship club due to the standard of football. Premiership...
