Title: Re: Shrewsbury Town & League One chat Post by: DungBeetle on June 19, 2013, 09:55:28 AM Confident of bouncing back Chompy? Dwight Gayle will leave do you think?
Title: Re: Shrewsbury Town & League One chat Post by: Chompy on June 19, 2013, 04:40:42 PM Looking likely that most of the squad will stay put, including Dwight. Tommy Rowe will be sold if the right bid comes in - club policy when they only have a year left and won't sign an extension - but otherwise he stays. Zakuani wants out but isn't a major loss; better news that Bostwick is going nowhere.
This is far and away out best squad in this league - barring a glut of unexpected leavers - and we should go straight back up. We'll score a lot of goals and Gayle should be no bigger than single figures for top goalscorer imo. This is a poor division and way less competitive than the Champo. Expect us and Wolfs to crush.

McGinn was showing real promise at Watford, but suffered an 18 month layoff with a cruciate injury. This stunted his progress and he was swallowed up with all the Udinese midfielders joining and never got a look in after he recovered around December time. He's a bit light weight - could be a problem in L1 but good luck to him.

Title: Re: Shrewsbury Town & League One chat Post by: LeedsRhodesy on July 03, 2013, 09:58:46 PM Bradford pick up mark yeate from Watford, does anyone know much about him? Title: Re: Shrewsbury Town & League One chat Post by: rinswun on July 03, 2013, 10:02:29 PM If that's the Mark Yeates who was once at Colchester, he was outstanding a few years back but always looked susceptible to getting a bit chunky. If he's fit, he'd be an outstanding player in this league.
Title: Re: Shrewsbury Town & League One chat Post by: TightEnd on July 03, 2013, 10:04:28 PM crap, overweight and disinterested when on loan with us
flitted in and out of the Watford first team last year definitely a case of if he is motivated, especially with regard to fitness Title: Re: Shrewsbury Town & League One chat Post by: horseplayer on July 03, 2013, 10:52:48 PM i am really starting to like the look of the Bradford squad
Yeates can get away with a lack of fitness at this level, he is a player that needs to be loved and also needs the team built around him to a degree At his best he is easily championship quality if he is 80% motivated he will be a good signing any more will be your player of the year. Title: Re: Shrewsbury Town & League One chat Post by: LeedsRhodesy on July 03, 2013, 10:59:54 PM Really can't wait to get this season under way now So happy that we still have Davis and jones and (wells at the moment) If we get to the transfer deadline with wells still here we will have a good season Title: Re: Shrewsbury Town & League One chat Post by: LeedsRhodesy on July 03, 2013, 11:02:59 PM Just seen the news Doyle has signed a 1 year deal today

He also has Emile and Tyrone to offer and I wouldn't be at all surprised if Wells winds up at London Road. Title: Re: Shrewsbury Town & League One chat Post by: LeedsRhodesy on July 04, 2013, 10:17:02 AM Really can't see him leaving for another league one side ATM Title: Re: Shrewsbury Town & League One chat Post by: DungBeetle on July 04, 2013, 10:35:25 AM I really didn't rate Yeates at Watford. Did a job when called upon, but suffered in comparison to the players around him. Probably will do well in L1.
Title: Re: Shrewsbury Town & League One chat Post by: luther101 on July 04, 2013, 02:56:18 PM Mark Yeates;
Upside - very good free kick taker. Downsides - slow, salad dodger.

Title: Re: Shrewsbury Town & League One chat Post by: DungBeetle on July 31, 2013, 10:51:20 AM Assombalonga SOLD to Peterboro. Very surprised at that. We have first option to buy him back but even so.
Any feel for the fee Chompy? Will be looking to back Brit as L1 top scorer. Will get a hatful in a free scoring posh team imo. Title: Re: Shrewsbury Town & League One chat Post by: Chompy on July 31, 2013, 10:58:32 AM Oi oi! Daragh produces the goods yet again. Watford only wanted to loan for the season initially but we put in a 'club record bid'. That'll be more than the £1.1m we coughed up for that waste of space Tyrone Barnett then. Bradford turned down a 'similar amount' for Nicky Nacky because they didn't need the ££ after the cup run last season. Happier with Assombalonga tbh.
This week is a big one for us. If we hold on to Tommy Rowe - Blackburn are chasing him and he's been after getting back op north for a while (only a year left on his contract and we couldn't turn down £1m+) - we'll crush imo. Assombalongalonga @ 12-1 or bigger a good bet imo. Tomlin is as fit as I've ever seen him, Swanson likewise, and the Jack Payne/McCann midfield is as good as we've ever had. Also, keeping hold of Bostwick was a massive plus. All looking good at the moment and can't see beyond us, Brentford and Wolfies. Title: Re: Shrewsbury Town & League One chat Post by: DungBeetle on July 31, 2013, 11:08:08 AM Assomolonga has greater potential than Wells imo.
Really surprised we let him go on a permanent. Have just piled into Posh points at 72 on Spreadex (74 on Spin) Title: Re: Shrewsbury Town & League One chat Post by: DungBeetle on July 31, 2013, 11:10:04 AM You fancy Wolves?

We've also signed Mark Little back up for another year, which is good news. That would soften the blow of Rowe going, if he does. Still rumours about Paddy McCourt joining us, even though he said he wanted to play in the Championship. McCourt, Tomlin, Assombalonga and Swanson could be insane.

Have just piled into Posh points at 72 on Spreadex (74 on Spin) Not a chance have you seen wells play? wells is not proven in this league but will score more then assombalonga this season Yes - saw him play in your cup run. The fact is he's 23, had one good season the year after being binned by Carlisle. Assombalonga is 20 and scored goals last season at a similar rate to Wells in a weaker team. I would be very surprised if he outscores Assombolonga this year now that Britt is playing for a better team than he is.

Title: Re: Shrewsbury Town & League One chat Post by: anthonyl on August 27, 2013, 10:20:54 PM Great job pboro, see you next season!
Title: Re: Shrewsbury Town & League One chat Post by: Chompy on August 27, 2013, 10:37:05 PM It's beyond a shame that we were relegated last season. Had we stayed up and kept Gayle we'd be genuine play-off contenders this time round. We were from December onwards last season after all, but it's pretty hard to recover from losing the first seven, and 14 of the first 18.
This squad is the best I've ever seen and they're all coming to their peak now. It's just looking like a waste of a season tbh, and if we manage to keep Tommy Rowe and Tomlin this time, the chances are they'll be going next summer anyway. Just a joke that Yeovil are in the Championship and effecitvely took our place. Gary Johnson set things back a good few months at London Road. Anti-karma ftw. Oh well, at least there's some easy money to be made puntering. Title: Re: Shrewsbury Town & League One chat Post by: DungBeetle on August 28, 2013, 09:38:12 AM What on earth happened to Reading last night? Were Peterboro just excellent, or is their something afoot at Reading??
Title: Re: Shrewsbury Town & League One chat Post by: Chompy on August 28, 2013, 09:46:40 AM Reading looked bad. Adkins has changed their style completely and it didn't look good last night. Their fans are fumming on forums, with the usual stuff about 'shouldn't be losing to Peterborough'. Reading fans have always been pretty deluded, so quite pleasing to see them suffer.
Gorkkkssss and Mariappa were particularly bad. Apparently they're after Becchio and still fancy Alfie will be on his way. Title: Re: Shrewsbury Town & League One chat Post by: luther101 on August 30, 2013, 01:09:32 PM Chomps - could there be some 'nice odds' in your next L/C game? Title: Re: Shrewsbury Town & League One chat Post by: Chompy on August 30, 2013, 03:04:58 PM Away at De Canio's nutty Mackems?
Lot of water to go under the bridge before then sir, think we're gonna have a busy final day of the transfer window on Monday. Whoever gets Tommy Rowe, if anyone does, will suddenly show massive improvement. All I'll say is that the game against Crawley could be the last time Rowe, Tomlin, Assombalonga and Barnett play together. Posh have scored 4+ in four of six games this season, and can be backed at around 6/1 to do the same again. In other footballing news, I've spent all morning studying the Champions' League draw and have come to the conclusion that Napoli have wound up in a tough group.

Title: Re: Shrewsbury Town & League One chat Post by: Teacake on August 31, 2013, 07:24:10 PM Pboro knocked back 3 bids for Tomlin today from Celtic!
Title: Re: Shrewsbury Town & League One chat Post by: Chompy on August 31, 2013, 09:25:23 PM Yup, they went in with £1.2m, which was lol. Maybe quadruple it and they'd have been in the right ballpark.
Tomlin played the first half. Sort of. Then was subbed at half-time and spent the second half looking at his mobile. Think this illustrates a problem with the Scotch transfer window closing on a Saturday. Title: Re: Shrewsbury Town & League One chat Post by: Teacake on August 31, 2013, 10:03:22 PM The reason it's today is because the SFA messed up again. The ban on the current incarnation of Rangers registering new players was until Sep 1st, the muppets overlooked the fact that this fell on the weekend and the and window would actually close on the 2nd thus allowing them to sign players on Monday. They declined to switch to be in line with every other association, they really are incompetent fools.
Are you saying Fatty is worth £5m? Genuine question I've never watched him. Title: Re: Shrewsbury Town & League One chat Post by: Ant040689 on August 31, 2013, 10:10:52 PM Boro' drive a hard bargain!
Title: Re: Shrewsbury Town & League One chat Post by: TightEnd on August 31, 2013, 10:15:25 PM Tomlin is Kris commons with puppy fat and a liking for a pie and a pint. Released from the Leicester academy at 18 at his request as he wasn't up for it, went to non league and began to like the game. Always been a serious talent
Title: Re: Shrewsbury Town & League One chat Post by: Chompy on August 31, 2013, 10:36:35 PM Yuh, Fatty is super-talented. He's Darragh's pet and we were never selling at under £5m. On talent alone he's worth that sort of figure, but it's not just about talent with him. As today proved again.
Defo no players leaving according to Fergie tonight and fee agreed to bring in Stefan Scougall from Scotchland. He looks decent on his youtube compilation but then don't they all? Title: Re: Shrewsbury Town & League One chat Post by: Teacake on August 31, 2013, 10:44:30 PM Jesus he's earned his nickname if he's bigger than Commons.

I wouldn't want Watford to pay more than £2 million for him, but I reckon Bradford will be looking for £3/4 million. I assume Bradford coffers got a boost from the cup run last year so they are in no hurry to sell.

Correct, if it was not for the cup run last year we would defo have to snap sell at £1,2million but we now have money in the bank, plus i don't think Wells is in any rush to move on and think we will only leave if its the right offer for him! i would guess someone would have to bid £2.5/£3 million Title: Re: Shrewsbury Town & League One chat Post by: LeedsRhodesy on September 04, 2013, 01:07:16 PM How do you think Lee Tomlin will play now his dream move is over?

I know you may laugh at the comparison, but Palace's version of a player that was technically very good but really hated the game by his own admission was Tommy Black. He would only put the effort in to make sure he secured his contract and then he would get fat and not bother afterwards. Just interesting how some pros don't absolutely love the fact they play football for a living.

Always going to be given as a foul though and more often than not going to be a red too.

It is with his trailing leg, and despite his leading leg really lunging in it doesn't make contact nor did the keeper intend for it to, it was more of a block tackle than going into the player. Even if you think it is a foul, I think it was outside the box, and is it a clear goalscoring opportunity, pretty hazy for me. Regardless think the keeper plays the ball without a shadow for me. Title: Re: Shrewsbury Town & League One chat Post by: luther101 on September 25, 2013, 08:53:21 AM Slowed down contact outside box, keeper gets to ball .... ref a mile off - raised leg (that didn't connect) probably deciding factor .... ul goalie - but at 'match speed' you can't blame the ref for that decision!

Title: Re: Shrewsbury Town & League One chat Post by: Chompy on November 07, 2013, 06:49:48 PM With what sir? Poshies?
We've been poor since beating Reading 6-0 in the crapital one cup tbh, and rode our luck in getting a few of the wins, notably the 1-0 away at T'Millers. Defensively we're OK but the goals have dried up since Tommo had his head turned. I have a horrible feeling that we're gonna get dumped out by Exeter on Saturday. Darragh has been busy tho... 'I sense a young gem like uncut prolific, pacey, unpolished diamond being delivered next Monday to Posh, found in one of our fav hunting grounds' 'And it wont be the only one, another shall follow as well. Nothing like a couple of gems to mix in with the older diamonds in our collection!' 'And no its not from Dagenham.' 'Perms after initial loan period ala Gayley.' It's almost certainly the latest Macclesfield hotshot. Title: Re: Shrewsbury Town & League One chat Post by: Ant040689 on November 07, 2013, 09:05:15 PM With what sir? Poshies?

You have a great knack for getting young gems, i think players must look to you as their ticket to the bigtime, or at least capable of demanding a very nice sum to play your future football, like McClean and CMS. Title: Re: Shrewsbury Town & League One chat Post by: Chompy on November 07, 2013, 11:56:03 PM Yuh, plenty of lower-league talent has come through.
Wish Fergie would give up on this diamond guff though. It hasn't worked since Boydy left and is embarrassing when Tomlin is out of the team. I'm expecting a striker and attacking midfielder to come back in. Maybe we'll even put Luke Freeman out of his misery at Stevenage. We're used to entertainment at London Road, not grinding out 1-0s. Think Darragh is leaning the same way also. Title: Re: Shrewsbury Town & League One chat Post by: Ant040689 on November 08, 2013, 01:04:50 AM Yuh, plenty of lower-league talent has come through.

Is he that integral that when he is not playing or not playing well the rest of the team aren't capable of pushing for the top two spots?

Are you still advocating comfortable promotion? Title: Re: Shrewsbury Town & League One chat Post by: Chompy on November 08, 2013, 02:08:16 AM We are now very strong at the back, with the best keeper in the league and an awesome defensive midfielder in Jack Payne, but without Tomlin there's no service to Assomba/Barnett.
Ask me again a couple of weeks after Connor Jennings and ANOther have come in. Just hope we get past the mighty Exeter and Daggers first.

Some interesting quotes from Blades fans... Absolutely horrendous on every level. Can't believe I've just paid £18 to watch that garbage. People need to wake up and stop thinking this is all of a sudden just going to get better, it isn't. Without exception these players are absolute ****. Make no mistake about it, we're in a relegation fight. ------------------------------------------------- This group of players we have assembled are rotten to the core. Half of them are simply not good enough and the majority don't seem to give a toss. I've lost count of the number of matches I've been to in the past six months where they have showed absolutely NOTHING. They did their best in getting David Weir the sack and now it looks as if they're doing the same to Clough. ------------------------------------------------ It's not even worth ranting about. Our players are getting paid more a week than I am in a month and I do more than most of them when I'm sat watching the game. Pathetic. Seems they will be down there for a long time.

Your lot have plenty of spirit, which got them back in the game late in the day, but it was all pretty one-sided tbh. Parkinson got the tactics wrong in playing three at the back for the first half. Kyle Reid looked very good in the second half, albeit he was up against Mark Little, who doesn't like the defensive side of being a defender at the best of times. Britt and Tomlin missed sitters late as Bradford pushed for an equaliser, but not many teams have come to London Road this season and given us the sort of time in midfield we were given today. McCann and Tomlin ran the show and Nakhi was kept quiet the whole game. Ref was a disgrace. The difference in ref quality between the Champo and League One is massive.

Title: Re: Shrewsbury Town & League One chat Post by: rinswun on December 22, 2013, 01:46:42 PM I think the loss to Carlisle in the cup could end up being one of the key results of the season for the Bees. Last seasons cup run, culminating in the replay loss to Chelsea, undoubtedly served as a distraction and now with only the league to go for, I really think Brentford will go up. Still looks like 2 from 3 for automatic promotion (Orient look to have already begun their inevitable slide). Whoever doesn't go up from Wolves, Bees, Posh, has to be the favourite in the playoffs. Perhaps the key to the rest of Brentford's season is keeping hold of Adam Forshaw. Definitely one of the best three players in League 1. I'm worried Rosler will come looking for him in Jan.

Title: Re: Shrewsbury Town & League One chat Post by: Marky147 on April 19, 2014, 10:49:01 AM Brentford have recently signed a player who played 30 games for Villarreal and a Czech Republic international winger. Matthew Benham isn't keen on taking the chance of the playoffs this season. Can't see us not going up to be honest. Have a chunk on at 14s for the win and 9/2 for promotion. Forgive me for the self indulgent bump (I know tikay will be on with it!) but weeeeeeeee! Can't wait for the Championship next year. I think we'll have a season very similar to Bournemouth's this year. I'd be surprised if we were relegated. Congrats to your mob, rinswun! Can't believe I lived about 5 minutes from the stadium for over a year, and still never made it to a match... Title: Re: Shrewsbury Town & League One chat Post by: Chompy on April 19, 2014, 12:42:58 PM What price we thinking Wolfs for the Championship next season. I strongly fancy them to do a Norwich.
Title: Re: Shrewsbury Town & League One chat Post by: arbboy on April 19, 2014, 12:48:11 PM 12-1 to 16/1 surely can't be any shorter than that?
Title: Re: Shrewsbury Town & League One chat Post by: TightEnd on April 19, 2014, 12:51:43 PM remember, they've had premier league parachute payments in league one. no paracute payments next year.
top half, possibly top six but no shorter than 14 or 16/1 in my opinion Title: Re: Shrewsbury Town & League One chat Post by: horseplayer on April 19, 2014, 12:58:02 PM With King Kenny of the jacket in charge i would not want to lay anything bigger than 12's
Title: Re: Shrewsbury Town & League One chat Post by: arbboy on April 19, 2014, 01:00:29 PM Given what tighty has said that's a massive disadvantage given the money bags teams that will probably be in the div next year. Sunderland/Fulham/QPR/Forest/Derby/Brighton/Reading/Leeds/Watford must all be more likely than Wolves to go up. Pretty sure you will prob get 20/1-25/1 in a place.

Slybet make them 8/15 for a top half finish. Given we backed Watford at 2/7 this year and Watford must have been a 14/1-16/1 shot pre season that would make Wolves 20/1 min surely. Disclaimer: slybets prices are not an accurate guide usually of future performance. Title: Re: Shrewsbury Town & League One chat Post by: TightEnd on April 19, 2014, 01:08:10 PM Watford were 8-10/1 pre-season
Title: Re: Shrewsbury Town & League One chat Post by: Sheriff Fatman on April 26, 2014, 07:30:17 PM Just thought I'd pop in and get used to the place! I have a suggestion for a team to replace Shrewsbury in the title thread!!
See you all next season!! Title: Re: Shrewsbury Town & League One chat Post by: Chompy on April 27, 2014, 04:38:09 AM Not us, we're going up in the play-offs. Like are we fk.
Title: Re: Shrewsbury Town & League One chat Post by: Chompy on July 28, 2014, 01:01:57 AM Can a mod, or Celtic, change the team in the title to Barnsley. Ta.
Poshies are going up this season. Title: Re: Shrewsbury Town & League One chat Post by: Marky147 on July 28, 2014, 02:52:07 AM Can a mod, or Celtic, change the team in the title to Barnsley. Ta. Poshies are going up this season. Your chairman is the dogs bollocks! Good luck to your mob, Chompy. Title: Re: Barnsley, Peterborugh United & League One chat Post by: Chompy on July 28, 2014, 11:10:18 AM Darragh fancies himself as a chatshow host for sure. We are ridic lucky to have him in charge.
All he wants this season is for a return to old-style Posh after such a dull '13/'14. So many goals in this current bunch. It's gonna be fun. Title: Re: Barnsley, Peterborugh United & League One chat Post by: rfgqqabc on July 28, 2014, 12:41:55 PM Its a sad day when my only hope for Doncaster is staying in League 1. For a club that was run well for a decent amount of time behind the scenes, bar letting good players go on the cheap having let their contracts run out, the current state of off the field matters is a shambles. Really disheartening.
Title: Re: Barnsley, Peterborugh United & League One chat Post by: DungBeetle on July 28, 2014, 01:00:25 PM Yep - poor old Donny. Only 6 months ago they seemed fairly secure in the Championship - still struggle to work out how they managed to go down instead of Birmingham!
Title: Re: Barnsley, Peterborugh United & League One chat Post by: Chompy on August 07, 2014, 03:41:43 PM Poshies trying to get Luke James from Pools are a Britt replacement.
Title: Re: Barnsley, Peterborugh United & League One chat Post by: Chompy on August 18, 2014, 07:02:26 PM Pools striker Luke James has today handed in a written transfer request. The club has acknowledged the request but advised Luke that he remains under contract to Hartlepool United.
Title: Re: Barnsley, Peterborugh United & League One chat Post by: Chompy on August 27, 2014, 06:42:54 PM Marcus Maddison arrives at London Road.
Supposed to be a bit tasty this lad. Anyone seen anything of him? Title: Re: Barnsley, Peterborugh United & League One chat Post by: Chompy on October 24, 2014, 02:02:45 PM http://www.theposh.com/news/article/20141023-video-macanthony-interview-2035651.aspx
Such a legend Title: Re: Barnsley, Peterborugh United & League One chat Post by: pleno1 on October 24, 2014, 04:19:41 PM Peterborough my new favourite second team.
Title: Re: Barnsley, Peterborugh United & League One chat Post by: Marky147 on October 24, 2014, 04:25:02 PM http://www.theposh.com/news/article/20141023-video-macanthony-interview-2035651.aspx Such a legend Confirmed hero! Title: Re: Barnsley, Peterborugh United & League One chat Post by: Kmac84 on October 24, 2014, 06:17:14 PM Liked him on the deadline day transfer show on sky a while back, seems a bit of a dodgepot though looking at his Wiki entry.
Where can Posh go, can they ever make to the premiership in reality? If they do does Darragh immediately sell? Title: Re: Barnsley, Peterborugh United & League One chat Post by: Chompy on October 24, 2014, 07:14:47 PM Premiership is unrealistic but a good spell in the Champo is quite doable, although crowds will always be an issue.
Peterborough is full of plastics. Best bit was where he had a dig at Karl Robinson. Title: Re: Barnsley, Peterborugh United & League One chat Post by: Kmac84 on October 24, 2014, 07:23:03 PM Just watched that in full he comes across pretty well and he has a passion that some clubs would kill for.
Title: Re: Barnsley, Peterborugh United & League One chat Post by: The Camel on January 24, 2015, 11:40:32 PM Lee Tomlin proving with that turn and shot against Citeh (which left Kompany wondering what day of the week it was) that Chompy was right all along about him.
Title: Re: Barnsley, Peterborugh United & League One chat Post by: Chompy on January 25, 2015, 12:29:17 AM With a better attitude and less KFC, Tomlin would have been with one of the big boys by now.
