I am not Morias’ greatest fan and he certainly isn’t a proven goalscorer but he has a better record at this level than anyone we have signed so far or are trialling .
The problem is that he has spoken out against KC and black balled .

There you go again - all ok until the final sentence which is presented as fact! Most of us don’t know why Morias is on the transfer list. So all opinion on Morias is entirely subjective. It suits your agenda to promote your anti KC theme. 


 

Don't worry anybody cos El Curlio saw plenty of positives last night. We can rest easy once more.

KC recent signings have generally been welcomed, so I suggest we wait and see what his remaining 3 or 4 acquisitions are before making a overall decision!

Yes we do need more pace going forward!

The problem is that we have reached the point in the transfer window when the likelihood is that players tracked and desired are now settled-in. The signings we make now are either loans (currently surplus to the needs of the parent club or unwanted) or dregs. Just look at the current trialists.

For the life of me, I do not see the point of friendlies against far superior teams. Particularly when you put out an odd combination of fringe players many in the wrong position. Surely we should be getting a shape to the team and getting first team players match fit. Am I missing the point?

Not sure of your logic - players like to test themselves against ‘supposedly’ superior opponents. What it did last night was to expose our limitations particularly in passing to our own players and an ineffective midfield. True we had players OoP but that did not hide our inability to make more of an impression in the game. Where KC made an error was to allow SW to play ‘as in a training match’.

Gives our defence a proper test (did they do anything against Sileby?) and good fitness having to chase the opposition for most of the game! I think we've done ok against Championship teams in the past (beaten Derby, Wolves, Birmingham in recent years), can't remember getting spanked like this before though.

I am not “ sharpening “ anything - just telling it as it is , which you have then repeated in more detail .
The same could therefore be accused of you .
Btw , Bunney didn’t play left back , he played left of a centre 3.

Thought that Bunny played LWB second half.

Sorry to be pedandic but his record at this level is 6 goals in 46 games, and 10 goals in 45 games in League One. Not sure he's a "proven goal scorer at this level". That said, would rather have him than a 34 year old Robbie Simpson.

Would also flag up that he only started 19 for P*sh, scoring seven in those games. Not bad after the jump from non-league. Substitute appearances skew the stats. Agree with you that he's not exactly proven, but there's bags of potential there.
