only MK dons away, i prefer away games when its not just the regulars and "real" fans, i like it when the atmosphere isn't as good as people are incapable of buying tickets together and need to hold someones hand in order to join in the singing.

for me, when there is hardly anyone there and they are all singing it just isnt as good.

Thanks for that, I had absolutely no idea we'd be playing at a higher level next year.

I'd personally argue we need to be better rather than quicker but each to their own.

There is a strong possibility that being quicker would result in us being better.

I think we should get rid of the entire squad and replace them all with better players.

I want pace, strength, resilience and quality in all areas of the park. Where we have pace, I want lightning. Where we have strength, I want steroid fuelled hunks of meat. Where we have resilience,I want more resilience. Where we already have quality, I want premier league.


My shopping list:

Bayo
Adebayor
Hernandez
Tozer

we struggled against pace this season - we will struggle more next season.

I honestly believe we struggled against no one this season - only when our team failed to perform to their potential (which happens at every club). I personally wouldn't say pace has been a particular weakness at all.

My personal shopping list:
Better centre back than what we currently have to partner Concrete
Better centre mid than what we have to partner JJ
Better/younger striker than Richards (very tough, I know)
Being greedy - someone better than D'ath... but would love to keep D'ath and see how he develops. Definitely a very useful player.

With regards to the current players we have; that Holmes interview shows how much the players are enjoying this season and it shows with the player/fan interaction at the end of games. I will not be surprised to see Smith signing a 3 year contract with suitable release clauses. How Wilder likes to manage, I expect a few of the younger players being given contract extensions.

Rob Hall's pace terrorised Buchanan all night in that replay at MK.

Exactly what I was going to say earlier before my bus caught me on the hotelend.

A player of his pace to replace Martin.

With D'ath I think Martins continual selection effected him. He seems like a confidence player rather than one that reacts to competition.

Obviously they have to be faster than the likes of myself, they're professional athletes. But I would say, if a player is good enough... they do not need to be lightening quick. Derek Asamoah or Marc Richards?

You know, I was reading a few posts yesterday from the start of the season. It really struck me how almost everyone wrote of McDonald as a non league carthorse.
I could provide quotes, but I suspect you all know what was said.
Perhaps we should not be as hasty to judge any young new recruits next season?

Platt scored 6 in 37, Sabin 13 in 57. We can do better than them both surely?

Our best forwards in past decade:

Mcgleish
Bayo
Richards

Quality > Pace

I still remember the time on a Tuesday night when Bayo thundered back to intercept a nippy left wing back (east stand side) and caught him ,took the ball off him then went on the attack himself. It got the biggest cheer that particular evening. It didn't happen that often but he had every available after burner fully (beast mode) on, on that occasion.  Tongue

I remember that too. I felt an overwhelming urge to shout "Look behind you" to the player, as you might someone about to be flattened by a bus.
I also remember when he fell on a unfortunate left back, (Wycombe?) who left the field looking as if he was auditioning to play Richard III.

Another I think would be worth looking at is Dan Holman, although with Cheltenham coming up it may be difficult.

Unproven at this level but still young and a local lad too.

Would love to see Dan at the Cobblers next season  but Holman is contracted to Colchester and was only on loan at Cheltenham. so i am guess they may use him next season since their relegation.

Holman's impressive form on loan at Woking, scoring 14 goals in 26 appearances, drew attention from other clubs, and he signed for National League leaders Cheltenham Town on 5 January 2016 on a six-month contract with a view to an extended deal in the summer
