18 caps for Australia in his mid-20s - he must have something about him.
I know they're now in L1, but Stags are making moves. Signed an established Australian international from the Scottish Prem. Midfielder.
Let's just hope that patience isn't a Matty Virtue.
Maaaahahaha
Similar with JJ - he was completely frozen out at Oxford following years of injury struggles. No way he'd have come here if he had been fit and playing. So the system works, mostly, but it can be...
True, but still, we don't tend to do obvious signings. We've made a few - like Matty Palmer - but mostly we tend to find players in unusual places.
I know, just using him as an example of the type of player we're unlikely to sign.
I'd love us to make a statement signing, like bringing in Croasdale or Sarcevic or someone else we've all heard of, but given that our strategy is to maximise value with every decision, I'm not sure...
Croasdale makes too much sense for us to be after him.
I'd say aiming for top 7 with a top 10 budget.
I'd bite your hand off for seventh. I just want to see us make a serious challenge for the promotion spots, and I hope we have a budget big enough to make that a realistic expectation.
Would...

Need a marquee signing to get people moving.
Where's Danny Haynes when you need him?
I don't think it will be, based on what was said during the fans' forum. You seriously think they'd cut the playing budget at this point, with the goal being season-on-season improvement?
I'd...
Love his penalties!
The last two seasons, our first signing was made at the start of June. Macca two years ago, Randall last year. So no need to panic.
Injury-prone kids seem to tick all the boxes. Like a young, inexperienced Charlie Colkett.
I could see Bedeau and/or Rawson at Notts. Haven't we been linked with them before?
Bedeau has plenty of experience at this level and higher while still being young. Rawson is a Notts lad. I'm...
Yeah, Hayden seemed like some player during that NL season.
Perhaps we were interested but missed out. We've missed out on quite a few defensive targets over the last year or so.
Re Sbarra -...
Dinosaur!
This is the problem with our style of play. At this level, you simply can't find CBs and goalkeepers who are excellent at the basics of their roles and comfortable with the ball at their feet under...
I heard just snippets online, but it sounds like he impressed as a shot-stopper at times, but his distribution and overall command of his area let him down. I think he saved a penalty as well.
He...
It's clear from this thread that some fans will jump on SM the moment we lose a game or concede a goal.
The problem with the goalkeepers doesn't seem to be the coaching but the overall ability. Stone isn't good enough. Not sure what Weal could do about that, unless he was pivotal in signing him.
Wasn't he their first choice keeper last year during a promotion season? Can't see it myself, but I'd be well happy if so!
