Ledson is the chosen one, he hath seen the light of our Lord and saviour Karl Robinson...

Rob Hall seems to be having some sort of epiphany..

 

[gingerox]

Eastwood
Kane Dickie Nelson ???
Ledson Brannagan
??? Henry Hall
???

Would be a decent foundation for a starting XI next year, presuming Rothwell will leave

I think we can do better than Kane. Also, would like to see Brannagan further forward...

Rob Hall is a very good footballer, when fit and firing he is often our best, but my big concern is his injury record. Based on his previous injuries and the appearance stats alone, it is difficult to look at him as a player who can make more than 20 appearances a season - Is that enough?.

After all the rehab i guess it is a waste to let him walk away, so maybe a one year deal is the best bet?

Karl said him and Rob have said they will sit down and sort out a contract. He's still young, 1 year with a 1 year extension option would be a win/win for both parties.

Yeah - I haven’t been overly impressed with Kane, but would rather give him the opportunity than bring in an unknown quantity from abroad or an U23 side.

Priority has to be left back, wide players and at least two proven scorers.
With the size of squads in the Championship there must be some quality players wishing to take a step down to get games, although the wage gap between the two leagues may mean we need to look down rather than league above.

As with every club the hardest job will be to find a prolific striker. I am still in favour of having two specialists, i.e. one fast direct striker and another that’s strong in the air and willing to get on the end of everything. Thomas and Obika are neither or.

Can we get rid of every one of Pep's signings?
Even Ricardinho who is the best of an awful bunch.
And also Hemmings and Mowatt.
Then I will be happy ish for starters

You want to get rid of Henry? Very surprised at that.

Oops. Forgot that Henry was a Pep signing (although I bet he was told to get him!!)
I like Henry- really good L1 player
Does anyone know how long we have signed Pekaslki for? He might turn out to be decent, but I am not holding my breath.....

Pekalski was signed on a 2 year deal. Honestly if what we are hearing from Robinson is true be might not get much chance. Didn't robinson say he likes young english talent? Centre Midfield we have loads of that.

Does anybody think we’ll ever see Kelleher in an Oxford shirt? Any news on how he’s doing at Solihull?

 

[bazzer9461]

I think obika and Henry were both agreed by mapp and already coming

Well I hope Robbo can lose Obika in the summer

 

[mooro]

Does anyone know what length contract Henry is on , and also who we have 1yr options on out of the OOC list?

Henry is a 3 year contract.
I think it's Nelson,Ledson and Ricardinho with an extra year from OOC.

/"Henry Hall"? Wasnt he some sort of dance band leader ?

...and who is this Dickie Nelson chap?

 

[Yellows1]

Mousinho is a leader on/off the pitch, has been promoted from this league and if nothing else is adequate cover.

I think IF we manage to keep our better players it's a great basis for a L1 squad. Pace out wide and a clinical forward is missing.

Mousinho played well for the first 4-5 games when he joined but since then he has made mistake after mistake, I’m amazed he’s been getting regular game time tbh, sorry but he’s not done nearly anywhere near enough for me, Jake Wright was a better defender by a country mile, need to move him on.

Went to see Kelleher play the other week at Halifax. He has established himself as first choice alongside an experienced partner, Daly. Kelleher played on the left side and slightly deeper than Daly and looked steady, didn’t find himself particularly and no clumsy challenges committed. Wasn’t required particularly to pass the ball through from defence as both sides tended to launch it from goal-kicks. Given KR’s comment about lack of height at the back, it may be worth persevering with this lad.
