Crowley Sold to MK Dons

[Could'vebeenacontender]

If this is the case (and I get the impression you don?t make this stuff up) then I think it would be best for all parties if we were to let him go. That way Notts get as much money as possible to soften the blow as I do think Crowley is a talented player and we have more chance of getting promoted with him at Notts than with him being at MK Dons.

I?m not going to criticise the club or the player the model is clearly doing its job.

Of course from an emotive fan point of view it?s annoying and incredibly frustrating it?s a team in our league that wants want we want promotion and not a league one or championship club.

There is the nightmare vision of us playing at Wembley in the playoff final against MK Dons and Crowley and Nemane coming back to haunt us. Let?s hope such a scenario doesn?t come to pass and we can go on and get automatic promotion or not have to cross paths with MK Dons in the playoffs. But there are many permutations and outcomes to this season that we simply do not know at this stage.

As always enough has been done for me to continue to trust the radar.

I think the club did all they could in the circumstances

I think JJ and Jarvis will sit behind Jatta. Allows McGoldrick to rotate with Jatta as well. Have Grant and Edwards to come and rotate with JJ and Jarvis with two of Tsaroulla, Martin and Austin on the wings... That is a tasty attack.

Seems the three medicals was correct, who is the third? Hoping for a beast of a midfielder, if so, all aboard the train

That?s how I see it, I?d like us to bring in Browne from Derby or someone similar. We could give him some game time by not keeping Jatta constantly on all game and maybe even resting him where poss as there?s lots of games to go.

I bet Les Bradd, Tony Hateley etc etc never had to be rested, nor substituted unless injured.

I know football is different today, but resting wasn't thought of in their day.

In 1972/73 our appearances included:

Brown 42
Mann 42
Stubbs 42
Bradd 43
Brindley 43
Worthington 43
Nixon 44
Masson 44
Randall 45
Needham 45

In addition, 3 of these played in an extra 8 cup games and 7 played in an extra 9 cup games.

Played by blokes who'd not be able to keep up with the pace of today's game. Have a look at some top flight football from the time - the standard and game speed is negligible compared to today's.

Read somewhere players now cover 2 to 3 times more ground back in the 70?s early 80?s.

Hence my comment:

'I know football is different today, but resting wasn't thought of in their day.'

I agree about the standard and game speed, but physically (as in tackles, contact) it was far, far harder.

That?s why older players struggle to walk when they get older, they were sent out half fit full of cortisone injections.

I was criticized for saying I'm on a permanent downer due to selling better players after 18 months or so, that would be three, pivotal first team starters gone since last season. If McG hangs his boots up and JJ wants a move, that's a lot of attacking flare to try and replace for next season.

You get called a permanent downer - because you are a permanent downer, no surprise you are lurking on this thread and ignoring the positive transfer news made previously. Three pivotal first teamers? Langstaff - Replaced , Nemane?? not hard to replace his 4 assists last season, Crowley - the new lads will step into his shoes as DC stepped into the ?un replaceable? Ruben Rodrgiues.

Let the scouts at Radar do their jobs and dont worry, theyve proved that when it comes to replacing the big players they are up to it (not to mention the overhaul in defence this summer).
