Any news of Gus departing ?

Morty01 · 2025-01-11T13:49:55+0000

4 days to get a man or 2 in.

I see Dackers has just forced a save for Morecambe their cup match V Chelsea. Hindsight is a wonderful thing, but we sure could do with him now.

Didn’t take him long did it

Jack_23 · 2025-01-11T16:48:12+0000

Moncur scoring from 25 yards . You’ve just gotta laugh

Barling Magna · 2025-01-11T16:50:10+0000

Moncur? Blimey, he looks good. Sign him up.

MisterStubbs · 2025-01-11T16:55:10+0000

A goal scoring midfielder, we could do with one of them..

jackj13 · 2025-01-11T17:00:48+0000

He finally decided to have a shot then.

Amazing what happens if Kev would take the handbrake off our players taking a shot

Finally allowed to shoot from outside the box?

Callumturner22 · 2025-01-11T17:08:58+0000

Amazing what having a shot does instead of the extra pass at times

JB Shrimper · 2025-01-11T17:15:33+0000

If only we had a manager who allowed shots on goal rather than needless passing.

NZamba Legend · 2025-01-11T17:32:59+0000

The lengths people will go to in order to have a pop at Kev Maher

They're not wrong.

TBF Moncur actually had quite a few shots when with us but all of them were **** or off target. I remember thinking on more than one occasion that I expected more from him in that dept especially. He could have scored a few for us with more composure and accuracy. Think his one today was a free kick outside the box

There's a bloke called Coulthirst who scored a hat-trick for Maidstone this afternoon. Is he worth a look?

Whilst I have no doubt you were chuffed that we signed both of them, not everyone was. Some were more circumspect, some heeded Jonny Stokes’ warning on both players. But I’m sure it was also Maher’s fault both players stunk at their previous clubs and fans were so relieved to see them go.

Some ws you say were dubious, however you are not one of them. When we got him you said:

This is a big signing.

For some it’s a big signing as they love the big names.

For COSU it’s a big signing as this will be a substantial wage.

For Maher it’s a big signing as he’s staking a substantial part of his remaining wage budget.

For me it’s a big signing as I think this is likely in time to force a change in how we play as I think we may need to move more away from the press to accommodate him and possibly move from the single pivot to more of a double pivot with Moncur of ahead of them, more of a 3-4-1-2. Interested to hear @ShrimperStats’ views on how he’d fit into our current system.

Eastwood Blue · 2025-01-11T18:18:19+0000

With York signing Josh Stones I wonder if we’d consider Dipo Akinyemi.

IloveShrimp · 2025-01-11T18:19:30+0000

George Moncur when playing for us was having to do so with the handbrake engaged, as are a couple other players in our team. It must be really frustrating for them as well as us the fans!
