After watching the league 1 playoffs I wouldn't be to keen on either the chesterfield boys to be honest, got no problem with going into lower leagues to get players, the 2 I would prefer over the chesterfield boys would be 2 Swindon boys wing back or winger he played called byrne absolutely ruined sheff united & the other boy lugano who looked a really good player.

But with adyemi, okeefe, dikachoi, whitts, ralls, gunnar do we need another centre mid??
is dikachoi doing all this extra pre-season to be sold or to actually play??

Don't knock it butty.Not many had heard of Wittingham before he signed.


Whittingham made 56 appearances for Aston Villa before signing for us. An odd statement to make


Exactly. I knew all about Whitts when he signed. All this transfer talk is very underwhelming. Another season of mid table mediocrity if this is the route we're taking.

Just for understanding.
Does anyone know where the first 11 came from the season before this at;
Bournemouth
Watford
Brentford


I would like to find out, mainly because jacks, saints and a couple of others got promoted to premier with largely league 1 players

Not sure about the players being looked at themselves but need understanding as to why the horror at picking quality from league 1 instead of costly from premier?

Good point.

In fact the Jacks had players whom went with them through each division.. Rangel, Tate, Monk and a few others I think.

However the difference is that they had a system and a style of play that was conducive for that kind of player development.

We do not. We have Slade who seems to think we played decent football last year.

Doesn't matter if we are getting in league 1 or La Liga players... they are coming into a bit of a coaching nightmare.

I think getting players from lower leagues is fantastic... as long as we can get the best out of them and sadly have no confidence we can do that.

The chief reasons they got promoted was the goals of Scott Sinclair & Fabio Borini, Chelsea products. Young and hungry players that wanted to kick-start their careers in professional football.

Agree about having a system in place/ players being developed, I forgot to add :thumbup:

Christ people got a short memory on here.When they were in the championship people were saying how boring their system was and laughing at the fact that they won most of their games 1-0.
