Guitar Ray

Maybe not the best thought to have in my mind at tea time….

Another stick for some to beat Flickers, Crosby and Carol with no doubt.

Correct. The same can be said for all of the young players, Arblaster excepted, and he’s struggled at times. To become regular starters on merit the likes of Devine, Thomas and our own youngsters have to show far more consistency throughout a game and then repeat that week in week out. This will only come by playing and the likes of Walter’s may get more minutes with us than he would another club at this level. Like you say he’s a great prospects at the moment rather than anywhere near the finished article.

I tend to agree with this but in all fairness he’s looked terrible bar the odd flash. Someone mentioned his fitness, lack of, and they may have a point. Pretty sure he hadn’t played much latterly at BR. Ultimately you can only go on what you see on the pitch so it’s up to Loft to prove the doubters wrong.

Totally agree. From what I’ve seen of Devine I wouldn’t have him as a starter, either Chizz or Plant all day long for me.

Interesting what Croz said in his latest interview about the number of games to be played before “2nd of January” plus there was also some reference to the level of competition because of numbers. Make of this what you will. Obviously we’ll have some players returning from injury between now and then, 3 to 4 before the cup game I think he said, but maybe he’s also thinking that we’ll be making additions early in the next window. Who knows? Also, possibly this has been mentioned elsewhere, but Rhys Walter’s contract is being discussed currently with the player, his agent & his family.

If he was so special we’d offer him a longer contract. However he is obviously good enough to warrant a longer look. There’s a chance we could lose Arblaster and/or Devine in January which would dent the numbers a bit if it happened.

Really? The rumoured move in the summer was to a club far closer to home as I remember but I guess Cheltenham isn’t an extreme distance. Maybe he’d prefer to stay relatively close to his family and local soccer academy if the option of a midlands or north west club was available. Anyhow he’s gone nowhere yet and circumstances could still see him here til summer. Stranger things have happened.

Are Conlon and Wilson likely to move that far? No idea about Massey.

Yes, so sloooowwwwww. It’s taken over a minute to log in before replying to this topic.

Which street were you on? I’ve just been down High Street, Tunstall. Nobody said a dickey bird about this.

Probably down to their similarity to his previous club, in that they pride themselves on a policy of developing youth, with a view to occasionally selling a starlet to finance the running of the club, which they’ve done extremely well.

Ha ha, fake man in the pub here. Speedy probably going as next manager, which half decent manager would take on that poison chalice. 👍🏻That didn’t take long. 🎣

Why not Potter? Ex-player, must count for something? Anyway, the interview should be straightforward, they’ll just need the candidates to demonstrate polishing a 7urd

There has been a rumour for a while that Speedy will retire next year. Please note that this is a man in the pub type rumour, so take that as you will. I will add that this is as in the real man in the pub rather than the imposter who posts on here.

Loomed Road is in Chesterton.
