I tried!!

So, if I've got this right.

This is about the perceived strategy of Wellens, prioritising his budget not on a RB but presumably up front.  As pointed out the evidence shows this is risky, if you're serious about auto or even going up through PO's.... there is no example of an elevation with such a rookie RB as Tyler Reid in place, that's based on the 9 promotions I have seen.

One of the counter arguments is the contradiction inherent, in my wanting to give Henry a chance at the start of the season, yet the evidence is that in 4 of the 9 promotions the keeper either had no previous league experience (2 instances) or 5 and 7 league games.

I'm not advocating sticking with Henry if he shows he's not up to it, just he should be given the chance.

With May signing, I think this is a year long trial possibly. His contract is up next year, so maybe we will look to sign in January if he does well, for cheap?

Surprised we signed a loan so early to be honest, anyone else sharing those thoughts?

What sort of player is he anyway, I honestly don’t know much about him.

It could well be the equivalent of a season long trial as its obvious hes not really wanted by Jackett.

A Pompey supporter I know says he has a great engine on him and is a box to box midfielder who has a cracking shot on him and he likes to have a pop at goal and grabs a few but can also tackle and fill in at RB too if needed.

I spoke to my mate who works at Yeovil FC about Tom James the Wales U21 international and he says a few clubs have made their interest known for him but he was unaware of us. He says hes very versatile and can play in any position at the back and that he has a fantastic free kick on him and says he would be a good versatile asset in this league.

Not a rumour but old triallist Cece Franck Pepe has signed for Livingston

Don’t tell Reg

[Peter Venkman]

Southend have signed a new striker from non league, the high scoring Brandon Goodship (lollipop) from Weymouth after scoring 38 and 39 goals in the last 2 seasons respectively.

That could free up Theo Robinson to leave Roots Hall for a return to us.

Breaking News -

From STFC OS -

"Robbie Wellens reports he is scrapping his current transfer policy and following the Phil Brown model of signing a players utilised in one position. That season it was central midfielders but he has highlighted, for 2019/20 the importance of having experienced players, especially at RB.

Tomorrow we will be announcing the new starting XI including 20 new (some familiar faces) signings. STFC 0fficial can confirm they will be;

Paul Caddis (GK)

Miguel Commingues (RB)
Jack Smith (LB)
Kevin Amankwaah (CB)
Rod Thomas (CB)

Paul Allen (RM)
Nathan Byrne (CM)
Scott Cuthbert (CM)
Billy LLoyd (LM)

Nathan Thompson (FW)
Will Henry (ST)

RW reiterated the importance to go slightly against the grain of an all RB starting XI; he has drafted in Will Henry as his no.9 but states he won't be relying on Henry to score 20 goals. 'Will needs to be given a chance - in any position but as no.9 I see him flourishing. I've set him a target of five goals. Along with three other players.'

We have another thread for Reg's crap. It's called 'more crap'

Unless they are ones for the future.

[Peter Venkman]

Unless they are ones for the future.

He is nearly 25 so not really one for the future hes been signed to play now according to Bond.

Bond has also said that he will welcome Robinson back to training so he could still be part of his plans too. I would welcome Theo back but its no major loss if we don't land him.
