Walsall v Swindon Town matchday thread

[tans]

Be interesting to know who did the recruitment then.

…because based on what Holloway has got out of them you’d say our summer recruitment wasn’t too bad.

I assume it wasn’t Kennedy. If it was (and I don’t think anyone thinks it was) he could do a job within recruitment!!

Jamie Russell and Les Caffrey

Why would you want to see that?

Because you know full well this lot will sell at the first decent offer

Jamie Russell and Les Caffrey

Les is still on the scene isn't he?

[tans]

Yep

Yep

Good...

Ofoborh and Kilkenny as a pair I really like, just perfectly complementary

Spent a few years together at Bournemouth so the partnership had already been made - good to see them both playing consistently after a few years with minimal games.

I hope the people around him are sensible and when he gets his move this summer it's to somewhere that he'll actually be able to continue improving. I'd love to see him playing regularly in the Championship in a couple of seasons.

I’d obviously prefer that we keep him. He’s not played enough to be in a position to demand a move, and his value is only going in one direction. We should keep him for as long as we can. I understand the sentiment that some may enjoy seeing our players doing well elsewhere, but personally, I couldn’t care less where anyone goes after us. How much did you enjoy Lukas Jutkiewicz’s career, for example?

I think the additions that Holloway made to bring in some experience has helped the rest of the squad.  Ripley has made a big difference, Nichols as well.

First team to keep a clean sheet at Walsall’s ground in the league for 27 games (3-0 loss in Feb 2024).

I think we’d all prefer to keep him, but let’s be realistic here, this is Clem era Swindon Town and he will 100% sell him.

We're a 4th division club. Clem era or not if a club higher up the pyramid come in for a player he's is going to be sold. Same as every other club at this level.

McGregor has played enough this year that clubs will look at him in terms of what's his potential. So the best case for us is he goes somewhere where he stands a chance of breaking into their first team in the next few seasons. Then with luck he develops enough that a 7+ figure transfer happens & we get a decent wedge in a sell on fee.

Superb effort & a dare I say it a deserved win against a somewhat lacklustre looking Walsall.

A real shame that we aren't 3 months into the season instead of 7.
