I’ll be gutted if Wildsmith goes and haven’t heard that rumour. He was a brilliant signing two years ago, imo, and still has his best years ahead of him.
Don’t expect us to be ‘shopping at Harrods’ but without a fairly major overhaul I fear it’ll be a long hard season.
This side has done well this season but it’s been a poor division and the step up to even lower mid table in the Championship is considerable.
Wildsmith, Cashin, NML, Smith, Sibley, Nyambe and Nelson are, I think, the only players with both proven Championship and fitness reliability records. I’d like Adams to join and there are others one can be optimistic about but we need serious strengthening.
Well there you go…Wildsmith gone and…I’m gutted!
Don’t get it. Two years ago we let Ryan Allsop go, for me the best keeper, with the ball at his feet, we’ve ever had…but we had no choice, the club was in crisis and he was one of many that the vultures were circling to steal away. Then the master stroke of poaching Wildsmith from Wednesday…not as good a kicking game as Allsop, but excellent in every other way and a great role model.
Now we have to add finding a replacement ‘keeper…as I say…just don’t ‘get it’ and, unless there are circumstances we know nothing about, a big mistake…as is letting Korey Smith go…imo.
Many thanks to the pair of them.
