Yes I also agree Liam and even late on in the season he has not dominated his area.

There are other players than just ex Wimbledon ones.

Agree WTID. No doubt he got better but still unconvinced with his crosses or coming off his line. He clearly got better but let’s face it the defence in front of him protected him. At Wembley the scrambled Hardbottle clearance was down to him

After all the clean sheets I’m probably in the minority but I’m still unconvinced that Goodman is going to be the answer for us in league 1, I like a keeper to be physically imposing & he’s a little on the short side for me, but my main reason is that the defence he’s had in front of him all season has been immense so much so that I’d of backed myself to have kept a few clean sheets if I’d had them in front of me this season, yes he’s made a few good saves here & there but for most part he’s had quiet games due to the brick wall in front of him, maybe I’m being harsh but his record with Colchester wasn’t great so has he really improved that much or has the quality of our defending made him look better than he actually is? maybe I’m being harsh, but i’m not convinced he’s our answer for next season

DO: I think you maybe under the influence!

Wags = wages

Palmer to play as the hold-up striker, take ball down, pass to Lowe or Stevens. Height handy at corners at either end. Could also play as part of a 2 with Kelly or Stevens. Wags would be the problem as he is on a good wedge and under contract for all of next season.

Not sure about palmer. 33 years old, probably past it

Need to tap Assal up while he is here for the testimonial too

I was wondering about Palmer... 3 goals in 31 games for Wrexham this season, 8 in 46 last season.

So - sign Smith, Palmer from Wrexham, Lowe on loan from Stoke and get Goodman back on loan again and we're halfway there! If the five who have been offered terms or are in discussion sign too, we are 80% done, imho.

Not too many 2 goals conceding after that though....

Friendly at Sutton 19th July.

And good write up by Mr Dunford too

Just read this good blog by Plough Lane by Numbers [Link] and it reminded me that we were 0-2 down after 9 mins on opening day of the season lol

And have a good hol Mr Dunford

Bookies favouring the three relegated sides from the Championship to be the stronger Lge One teams this (or next?) season. Looton, Plymouth & Cardiff

Thank you Bush Womble. Interesting as ever.

Thanks for that link, Mackie. Interesting report and sound reasearch.

Morning all. SW19 has been updated - [Link]

Smith's work and positioning were terrific. His control and need to pass backwards or sideways very frustrating. Really think he will look out of his depth in a division higher.

Maybe we can convince Rudoni to turn down the prem and come back to us

PW - we played 26 games since Browne made his debut. He started 13 and came on as a sub in 8 of them. Played 1,226 mins - 52% of all possible mins.

Don't give away next season playing plan Hardon. 😂, think we will be even more defensive, but may not work against better attacking teams.
