I think Crooks, JJOT and Kasim will be the main three that get used - Taylor is getting on a bit, McWilliams is still really young and I can sort of see Foley getting lost in the shuffle.

It's entirely possible that JJOT gets pushed up behind the striker though in order to accommodate using Foley a bit more but that might end up being Bowditch. Still, as you say it's strength in depth and having these options is fantastic since it means we are good for injuries and makes us a bit unpredictable which is ultimately going to help give us the edge.

If Kasim gets in the matchday squad I will be surprised!

I got 40/1 with Bet365, it's moved to 28/1 now but you can still get 40/1 with some - try oddschecker.com

Had a look at most but ended up joining Skybet for £5.00!! But then upped bal to £10.00

bet £5.00 Top 2 14/1 £75.00

then 2 free bets of £5.00  Promotion 8/1 £40.00 and Playoff winner 22/1 £110.00

Still have a number of free £5.00 bets left plus cash balance of £5.00 

Last of the big spenders  Cool

The odds appear to be narrowing , but will wait to free bet deadline of end August before placing further bets.

40/1 if you fancy it..........or 10/1 top 3

Who are the bookies - or is it general? I feel like a flutter this season!
10904  The Hotel End / Cobblers Corner / Re: Summer 2017 Transfer Wishlist on: July 21, 2017, 16:08:14 pm
Define "top sides", then define "20+ goal striker".......

What about Marquis....? or even Toney?
Has Marquis signed for anybody yet?
10905  The Hotel End / Cobblers Corner / Re: Summer 2017 Transfer Wishlist on: July 21, 2017, 16:03:34 pm
Another great signing, and by and large a great summer of transfer dealings thus far. I echo the sentiment that we need a goalie and a proficient striker......JED knows we do...and for the first season in a long time i'm confident we'll get them!!

Just to add a little perspective :

From what I have seen so far the jury is out so far on :
Kasim, Lobjoit, Barnett and perhaps Bowditch. Most of us have not seen Taylorjunior,Crooks or even Pierre! Echo your sentiments as it look good. Some of the new signings wont make the bench!

The real plus so far is Goff in goal.
10906  The Hotel End / Cobblers Corner / Re: Summer 2017 Transfer Wishlist on: July 21, 2017, 15:06:27 pm
Shame we can't bring on an NFL style special team.

Very tasty looking squad now, surely the best on paper for some time. GK and another attacking player pending, there is strength and depth all over with the 2nd string on par with our 1st string last season. Plus, these could be shifted around in numerous ways to cover or create any formation going.

                              GK/Cornell
Maloney/Phillips    A.Taylor/Poole    Pierre/Barnett      Buchs/Smith

                  JJOT/Kasim      Crooks/M.Taylor

Waters/Hoskins       Foley/Bowditch          Powell/New Attacker

                             Rico/Revell

Four of the above won't even get in to the squad, along with McWilliams, Lobjoit, Iaciofano and Goff who might be well advised to get on loan ASAP if they want serious game time.

McWilliams will make the match day squad if not in the 11.
10907  The Hotel End / Cobblers Corner / Re: Cobblers final position come may on: July 21, 2017, 14:52:39 pm
Exactly - 1st


With you on this , but prefer just promotion!
However with decent goalie and 'striker' = 1st
10908  The Hotel End / Cobblers Corner / Re: NEWS: Cobblers sign Wycombe Wanderers defender Aaron Pierre on: July 21, 2017, 14:32:18 pm

ANYONE who thinks this "beast" isn't a MASSIVE upgrade on big Rod is a pure helmet!  Grin

10909  The Hotel End / Cobblers Corner / Re: Summer 2017 Transfer Wishlist on: July 21, 2017, 14:21:34 pm
A GK the final piece of the jigsaw to go then?

Great signing but still concerned at the quality up front.
10910  The Hotel End / Cobblers Corner / Re: Summer 2017 Transfer Wishlist on: July 21, 2017, 14:16:55 pm
I'm sure the guy he assaulted shares your opinion.

He might well do - expect he has claimed damages etc and the perpetrator has been fined plus prison etc
My sympathy is with the victim. Still don't like the moralistic tone some will take.
10911  The Hotel End / Cobblers Corner / Re: Summer 2017 Transfer Wishlist on: July 21, 2017, 12:53:22 pm
No, bit of a bad apple I believe. Will probably be going back to Scotland anyway.
.

Good player and a reformed one too - I dislike these moral stances. If he happens to come here the least we can do is offer hope and rehabilitation.
10912  The Hotel End / Cobblers Corner / Re: AFC Rushden (a) UPGRADED TO FIRST TEAM SQUAD FIXTURE on: July 21, 2017, 11:37:46 am
Agree with your comments. I actually think it's a bit unfair to expect him to jump 7 levels and play in a new position, but I guess if JE can turn him in to a striker/wide player then it opens up more opportunities for him in terms of playing time.

It's very rare a player makes this sort of jump successfully, at least not an immediate jump of 7 levels. Jamie Vardy went from level 8 - level 1 but played at various levels in-between. Scott Hogan went from level 8 - level 2 but again he played at various clubs in-between. Perhaps one of the best examples might be Conor Washington who went from St Ives in the UCL (level 9) to Newport Country (level 4) and had instant successes. Now at QPR of course. Lobjoit is coming from level 10 where up until the last 5 years or so it wasn't even mandatory to have floodlights or a bar around the pitch! With the greatest of respect it's incomparable to the professional game.

I think Lobjoit has the physical attributes but his touch needs to improve significantly.

Good sensible comment. Loibjot will have to learn to master the basics PDQ. Maybe the others had or acquired
a greater degree of skills!

Not sure if changed since earlier in the year, but:

Can a player be loaned out from a club where he is already on loan?

Incredibly yes! Yesterday Leicester signed Mali international Molla Wague on loan from Udinese, where he is already on loan from Granada.

This was possible because any loan spell lasting a season or more is registered as a permanent transfer by Fifa, and Wague was sent on a three-year loan to Italy by the Spanish club in 2014

well researched!
10914  The Hotel End / Cobblers Corner / Re: Summer 2017 Transfer Wishlist on: July 20, 2017, 19:05:04 pm
OK Everbrite I take your points. However, you haven't taken into account the game 24 hours earlier with the possible six hour journey to Frome and back. Oh... and the training the morning of the games.


Ok you win - yr part of the Brexit Negotiation team aren't you.
10915  The Hotel End / Cobblers Corner / Re: Summer 2017 Transfer Wishlist on: July 20, 2017, 19:02:01 pm
Going by your clue, and previous 'rumours'... are you alluding to Luke Chambers?

Higher Division  player - quote "get real" unquote Smiley
10916  The Hotel End / Cobblers Corner / Re: Summer 2017 Transfer Wishlist on: July 20, 2017, 18:52:42 pm
Pierre was in the league below us last season but I agree with your point. My only concern is that as Cobbler 78 has previously alluded to we run the risk of being a bit lopsided - effectively we'd have 4 first choice centre backs, it does make you wonder if JED would have signed Barnett had he known of the Chinese money. I'd be happier if we had a keeper in place by now - I don't know what the hold up is unless he is a premiership youngster playing in his parent clubs friendlies before coming here but that doesn't help with building relationships/understandings. Being greedy I'd also like a high profile attacking link option - maguire would have been perfect.

After last night I would say a couple of decent forwards , a number 10 what ever that is now! and somebody better at leading the line than we already have. Also Goff looks highly promising based on last night - looks a toughie as well!
10917  The Hotel End / Cobblers Corner / Re: Summer 2017 Transfer Wishlist on: July 20, 2017, 17:15:05 pm
Ive got another clue for you all to guess.

His Name Begins with Aaron and ends with Pierre.

Shall we just stop all this high and mighty stuff now.

How does this fit in with the first clue as yours is far to subtle!
10918  The Hotel End / Cobblers Corner / Re: AFC Rushden (a) UPGRADED TO FIRST TEAM SQUAD FIXTURE on: July 20, 2017, 17:12:22 pm
2 games in 24 hours tho and light training before the rushden game, was always going to be a though ask regardless of the opposition

Yeah - your right 30min for most on Tuesday and then again on Wed plus a bit more! The Oxygen masks were out!

Personally I thought JE managed it well, but it did expose the limited quality we have up front.
10919  The Hotel End / Cobblers Corner / Re: Summer 2017 Transfer Wishlist on: July 20, 2017, 17:00:32 pm
You'll have to work for it, follow the clues...

First clue: SPOTY -7

Sport personality of the year 2007

Blimey thats Beckham
10920  The Hotel End / Cobblers Corner / Re: Summer 2017 Transfer Wishlist on: July 20, 2017, 16:21:46 pm
He said another attacker.

Give Charlton their money back in exchange for Ricky.
