I don’t understand the clamour for Gibbo. I loved him when he was here. But the bloke’s a known crock. 

How can people (rightly) complain about Wilson’s injury record but then advocate for someone else with one just as bad?

Only with us it seems though. We must have something going on behind the scenes with the pitches, care, or whatever it may be for players to pick up so many muscle injuries.

He was out for 2/3 months last year and was also injured at the start of this season. So it’s not just with us.

For me both Stevens from FGR and Smith from Salford are free agents now both are proven goal scorers and won’t cost the earth , just a thought 

I would guess that Smith was on good money at Salford for them to get him from Millwall,he is rumoured to be contemplating retiring though

Someone said we have been linked to Josh Williams from Connah's Quay Nomads 19yr old but i cant see a link anywhere apart from a newspaper report saying that TNS and a host of EFL clubs are chasing his signature

Mansfield were outplayed because we controlled the midfield with Ollie and Alfie.

I think you're over rating all the players mentioned.

 

 

I'm not over-rating anyone. But I know that most the sides in League Two won't be anywhere near the same quality as League One.

Another released striker is Lyle Taylor but he has also had his fair share of injuries but at 34 would he do a job at League 2 level for a season

Cambridge fans hate him. I'd be very underwhelmed with him.

Lyle Taylor’s agent is the same agent that represents Rhys Walters

Tom Pope scored 12 goals in yotal during the 3 seasons prior to 2012/13. He was never a regular goal scorer for most of his career. He scored 10 plus goals 5 times, 4 of which were in league 2. He had 2 fantastic seasons as a goal scorer, first season back being the other. If you discount the promotion season he scored around a goal every 4 games. That's a good record for someone whose game was more than just goals but not a prolific goal scorer. The fact is most fans were disparaging of him in the summer prior to his dream season. I made quite a few posts on here saying he deserved the chance to prove he could be the main man and was pretty roundly condemned for saying he could score 15 goals. 

Tom Pope was paid more than 3k a week at Bury.

Tom Pope had also scored over 80 goals at the age of 29. Uche isn’t near that. 
And if you believe the narrative, Uche was being paid 4500 quid a week this season.

I see nothing in that donkeys game that says he worthy of a wage in any professional football league.

Jesus wept im reading people arguing that we should resign uche. I give up. 

Even if he had double the amount of goals, and scored twice, I still wouldnt want him because he cant play a full 90 minutes. There’s no excuse for that. It’s your job. Id also question what the management team was doing allowing that. Im constantly hearing people claim that ‘we cant blame Moore because even pep couldnt get a tune out of these players’, but ill tell you for sure, pep wouldnt be having someone with uches fitness anywhere near his squad, no matter what level he was managing at.

Quality. Correct. 
A league lower you do need a lot of determination and heart. 
Bar 3 or 4, this squad is devoid of any fight whatsoever.

Spot on.

Hes an 18 stone lump who can’t play football and can’t stay fit. 
 

Fans laughed at Akinfenwa. Now he was a beast who could play football and for 90 minutes at that! Even towards the end of his career.

Uche is a joke of an “athlete”.

Another striker who i aren't sure if they have had injury issues or not but I think Moore signed him for Doncaster is Fejiri Okenabirhie released by Cambridge

Vale sign Fejiri Okenabirhie,
A striker with flair, I agree.
With a flick of his toe,
He'll make the goals flow,
And lead Vale on a victory spree.
