What time does this start?

That’s one of the most sensible posts I’ve seen in the last few days! Far too many slate players and are absolutely vile towards them at times.
 

No-one has been 'vile' towards any players. Not on here anyway.

There may be comments that certain players aren't good enough, but if the players are on here seeking out opinions then that's on them. 
 

I never said “vile” on here as it was a general observation. I would also doubt players are on here to see what folk say but time will tell who cuts the mustard and my only hope it fans cut them some slack.

Holt did better than I thought he might up against quick movement of Luton forwards. Thought Ross Graham was solid, and Cleall-Harding came onto a decent game after a shaky start. If anything, Holt looked like he adapted better than Declan Gallagher. Yes, another right-sided CH would be nice, but after watching our defensive shape yesterday and how good a job our midfield did (most of the time) at keeping Luton on the outside and taking away passing lanes, I would not lose any sleep if we went into the season with the CH choices that we have. If we are going to play a 3 in the middle, I'd be tempted to have Sevelj central and sweeping in behind a Ross Graham + 1 CH pairing, and I wouldn't be against that +1 being Sam Harding, fairly often. Yes, we'll take a couple of beatings as young lads don't have the consistency of the seasoned pros. But let them develop in the team.

Any word on Strain? When he's back (which could be a number of months away), I think we have the makings of a decent team here, with enough experience to be able to play a couple of young lads regularly and let them grow.

For as far back as I can remember, for every one player brought in that has had a positive impact on the team, there have been 2 or 3 plumbers signed. Goodwin and his scouting team are knocking that statistic out of the park, at this point. I also think his man-management has been very good. Treated Watt in a way that got some performances out of him at a time when we couldn't afford (both financially and due to squad depth) to let him go, and now that we are in a better position and can offload him, Watt's done. I won't soon forget Watt and Mulgrew doing their "player power" bit to let us get pumped more than once so that Jack Ross was punted. Looks like Goodwin hasn't forgotten that either.

Based on recruitment (both in and out), man-management, and on getting us up at the first time of asking, I'll put my tin hat on and say I hope we stick with Goodwin fo
