Yeah I think his interview echoes what a chunk of the fans think in as much as the squad looks more than decent this time round so the results need to follow suitjohnko wrote: Sun Sep 20, 2026 6:52 pm I listened to Nigels interview. Lots of praise for DOF, the way players moved on, new players in, players back from injury but I didn't hear anything about Richie. Add that to him disappearing after the match plus we have a two week break makes me wonder if he's moving on.
It’s not ‘hate’ to think one of your teams football players isn’t very good.Qin wrote: Sun Sep 20, 2026 10:37 pm I can't understand the hate on CW. I reckon he's decent, far too good for the National League
He's also better than Zech imo.
Thanks for the link.
CW has also provided a good few chances, the last of which was an excellent one missed by Mitchell. Thats why he is pickedQin wrote: Sun Sep 20, 2026 10:37 pm I can't understand the hate on CW. I reckon he's decent, far too good for the National League

Do you mean the ball he looped into Kabia, overhit it, but Demi did really well to anticipate and get ahead of the right back and get a shot away?DuvB wrote: Mon Sep 21, 2026 11:33 am

No Groombridge, Fresh Alias, I didn’t. You must be thinking of someone else.Groombridge wrote: Mon Sep 21, 2026 12:07 pmOut of interest did you continually share your obsession about Sam Ling ?Hoover Attack wrote: Mon Sep 21, 2026 8:31 amIt’s not ‘hate’ to think one of your teams football players isn’t very good.Qin wrote: Sun Sep 20, 2026 10:37 pm I can't understand the hate on CW.

Indeed, Ling Jr was a perfectly adequate NL defender but miles out of his depth in League 2Hoover Attack wrote: Mon Sep 21, 2026 12:25 pm Although funny you should mention it, Sam Ling only ever played League football for us under Lingys mate Emblefud, before returning to the depths of non league, where he has only ever played for Lingys mate Daryl McMahon. Makes you think, doesn’t it.
It was actually a question not an accusation, being new to this board I just don’t get this obsession of yours with Wellens junior , everybody knows your opinion just a bit boring and uninteresting this repetitive moaning .Hoover Attack wrote: Mon Sep 21, 2026 12:22 pmNo Groombridge, Fresh Alias, I didn’t.

It was a strange one. Personally thought he struggled at National League, one of those players that just doesn't influence a game because they're not at that level. Also makes you wonder how he spent so long in our academy as a kid, especially as we were a L1 club when he was there.gshaw wrote: Mon Sep 21, 2026 12:31 pmIndeed, Ling Jr was a perfectly adequate NL defender but miles out of his depth in League 2Hoover Attack wrote: Mon Sep 21, 2026 12:25 pm Although funny you should mention it, Sam Ling only ever played League football for us under Lingys mate Emblefud, before returning to the depths of non league, where he has only ever played for Lingys mate Daryl McMahon.

Unfortunately you are correct, on current form pretty poor.ELGUS wrote: Mon Sep 21, 2026 1:24 pm I will throw this one out there too, another player who shouldn't be getting near this squad is Theo Archibald.
Yeah, I'm not sure what he's done over the summer but he looks miles off it.ELGUS wrote: Mon Sep 21, 2026 3:53 pm I don't think he is up to the level required now, injuries have caught up and also bulked up far too much.
He looks lost at times, final ball and decisions are woeful.
I think from the winger we signed him, he has transformed majorly.
It’s sacrilegious to say it but Theo’s best season with us was the first one when he was on loan back in 2021/22.ELGUS wrote: Mon Sep 21, 2026 1:24 pm I will throw this one out there too, another player who shouldn't be getting near this squad is Theo Archibald.
