Feels like Gus is the only one playing for the shirt

That makes a change

If Gussy left in January, I wouldn’t even be surprised if he skips League 2 and goes straight to League 1. The difference between NL and L2 isn’t huge and he’s already way, way too good for this league

When he goes. Hopefully we will get a very good fee

But can we score 2 or 3 goals is the question

I watched Brum v Wrexham last night. None of our players would get into either team. Appreciate that's top of L1, maybe a lower L1 team may take a punt but I'm not convinced.

How the **** is that not a pen? The protection keepers get is ridiculous

 

[Harry Bullocks]

Going for it, 2 up front

 

[SeldomSeenShrimper]

Genuinely thought Pebble was gonna go in at Centre Back the way things were going

 

[amsemp]

Kev going for the win. Unless Bim was a fitness concern, this is the way we should’ve started. Love Kev, but he can be way too safe sometimes

 

[Shrimper]

I can see Gus going to someone like Gillingham if they're going up or a team like a Wycombe or Cambridge in League One.

 

[duncan bulgaria]

2 actual strikers up there now and a positive chance so I’m hopeful for the last 30 mins

 

[Hadleigh-shrimper]

Kev going for the win. Unless Bim was a fitness concern, this is the way we should’ve started. Love Kev, but he can be way too safe sometimes

He said before didn’t think either would do 90 mins. Hopefully bonne can now lol.

I was thinking he’s a perfect Peterborough player, but maybe a bit old for their transfer model at 27

 

[Crowstone Crevette]

1,088 at the match. No info re travelling fans

 

[Harry Bullocks]

1,088 according to Victoria

 

[Harry Bullocks]

Snap !!

If Gus has 10 goals by xmas then sell fee shouldnt be less that 500k

He’ll have 10 goals by the end of September if he carries on like this!

 

[Harry Bullocks]

As I understand it, both Bonne and Pepple are strikers who play off of a target man ? We appear to be lacking said person as we speak,,,,,yes

 

[Supa Shrimpa]

That's laughable. He's 27 !!

It's embarrassing that all our goals are coming from wing back.

Been saying for a while that Gus will leaving us in January. Too good for the national league

Yes and no. Odd, for sure, but the wing-backs are coached to get forward, and to get in the box when the ball is on the opposite side of the pitch to them. That's where some of his goals have come from.

F me is Maher feeling alright. 2 up top and Bridge wide.

It's what he has done in pretty much all of his 140-plus matches in charge up until we hit a striker crisis a few weeks ago (and which we are still in, by the way), so I'm not sure why this is surprising.

Kev going for the win. Unless Bim was a fitness concern, this is the way we should’ve started. Love Kev, but he can be way too safe sometimes

He was absolutely blowing out of his arse in the second half on Saturday, and received a head injury, so probably being cautious with him. Injure him and we're back to one fit striker.
