The B-Ark / Re: Seasons Expectations ?? Come On.. Voice your opinion United Fans !
« on: August 09, 2012, 07:57:52 AM »
I'm more positive than a couple of days ago by virtue of Wilson stating that he would like to make the loan move permanent and the signing of Silk appears to be an excellent move. I still have the same reservations about centre half and agree with WP wholeheartedly here.
I think that we can't really tell from pre-season performances though - 92/93 anyone?

Where are we getting this about Gary Silk from? Not seen anything that he has signed or is on trial?

I think that the opening month will set the tone.
We are due a cup/trophy run but can't see it this year and will crash out probably in the second game of both competitions.
As for the league, the squad looks similar to last year with the same failings as the end of the season being lack of experienced centre half to help the young lads out to learn their trade.
The capture of the loanee gives more balance to the centre of the park than Milnes/Sleath/Ross axis which is a positive but if he goes after the three months then he needs to be replaced with the same type of player otherwise i fear for the middle of the park.
Upfront is quite positive with Jones looking a decent option along with Newsh/SWD/Fairclough.
I don't think that we are strong enough as a squad to challenge at the top end but should be safe. Midtable beckons again with hope of the play offs dead by the time March is out.

Can't believe David Noble is thirty-eight? Surely not?

Northern Ireland is part of the UK, not Great Britain, hence three countries

I'm also disappointed with them getting only 2 over my prediction after getting to my prediction in March

Isn't Sleathy still a student and hence coming into his exams so will want to concentrate on that rather than signing a contract when he doesn't know where he'll be geographically?

I like the Norwich one.
Also, for really bad kits, then look no further than the French Rugby side Stade Francais

I like the look of the new kit and don't really car that's it red and white even though, as for me, our rivals were Kettering having started supporting Boston in the Conference days of the very early nineties.

I agree with both of you in part.
Agreeing with MNH, that it has been clearly obvious since at least October, possibly since July last year that we needed a commanding centre back (once it was clear that Austin was no longer that man), a ball winning midfielder and a target man up front as a Plan B.
But also agreeing with WP that the replacements brought in were some of our better players after Xmas (SWD, Marshall and Ross) and so do inspire confidence but they still did not address the problems which were created, especially after Whitey leaving and it being clear JL was not the answer up front.
This is now make or break for JL with Semple especially being popular but didn't seem to fit the 4-3-3 formation being played, as well as seeing whom out of the players with terms offered decide to stay..

I think the likelihood of church returning is low (hoping to be proved wrong however) as it is likely he will return south as he will not be a pro here and that was the reason he went to Grimsby instead of returning south last year.
Unless he has settled in the north of the county and isn't lured by the £££s at Trinity that is, then he may return but I still feel is unlikely.

I have to echo everything that Woad has said about this season, sharing my views except for Worcester away which was truly awful but a mere blip

So our forthcoming away adventure takes us the first of the two in the South(ish) West and thus my first away game of the season. Terrible I know.
Weather looks good in Cardiff today so hopeful for a good game and 3 points to add to two good performances in the last couple.
Trains are a touch tight getting there but time on the way back so anyone fancy a post match pint then hunt me down at the ground or DM me on here.
