Where was that from?

Hopefully not! I’m guessing it because he scored against them in the cup!

We need to be keeping these players who are here for this season and try to add to this squad .

I don’t believe Ashford himself would want to go and join a sinking ship, when we are doing so well :bluebird:

At present, this is arguably the ideal environment for the Academy players. The manager selects them regularly and develops their game, and the results are clear to see. It’s reasonable to expect growing interest in both the squad and the manager, with many clubs monitoring closely.

Agree. If things carry on the way they are going it will be the January transfer window that we will see that interest really come to the fore.

I don't understand all the talk of the younger players being linked elsewhere who have only started one handful of games I'd get it in January or end of the season tbh but I won't judge any of them yet in my opinion as it's a long season and things will probably change if we get one or two more injuries and the supposed "quality" signings don't happen then things will be different no doubt results wise. Although there all going good ATM so long may it continue :bluescarf:

Cian is 3 games short from 50 appearances; with the majority of that being in the Championship. Hardly a handful...
