Czechlad Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Obviously if this doesn't happen I am pretty bummed, but remember when people were complaining Bruce doesn't give our youth a chance? Well he wants to make Bree our #3 or #4 center back and now people are complaining about that too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could be wrong, someone could correct me. Suliman did seem to be next in line before he left, but I have a feeling Jacob Bedeau will be the next defender to move up from the u23s. That's on the basis that I regard Bree as having already made that step. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I think there's very very little chance we'll be looking for a new manager at all this season, let alone by October. Totally agree we won't be looking for one. We've already found him a month ago and he is just sitting waiting for the nod once the inevitable happens imo. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most, if not all clubs in this league will be looking at out squad with a mixture of jealousy and envy. until they get to our back line at which point it will be a mixture of shock and amusement. PS aren't jealousy and envy the same thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PS aren't jealousy and envy the same thing? No. Jealousy is worrying that you might lose what you have - you jealously guard it. As in "a jealous husband", who suspects his wife is playing away. Envy is when you want what somebody else has got. I've mentioned this frequent misuse in the OT "Piss You Off" thread! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacketspuds Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 It's just such an odd one. It doesn't seem like the sort of deal we needed to wait so late in the window to try and complete, especially if we had a backup option in Scott McKenna, who we also might have been able to get had we not waited until the last day of the window. Wonder if we could have got McKenna had we offered Elphick as a makeweight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
