Title: Is it a wind up??
Post by: raggytash on May 25, 2016, 05:24:23 pm
Ok Tommy Rowe great signing!! But what the hell is going on with the these two??? Blair... Attacking winger etc... 2 goals in 30 odd games, I'm sorry but quality wingers do a lot more than this and his seasonal progression as been a steady decline every year over the last 4 year so god knows with that one!   Especially after carrying a serious injury,.. And to top it all Accrington keeper who if you watched the play offs looks far from good!!....one quality signing followed by two gambles at best...

Do you want me to praise every signing???? A winger who scores 2 goals and 4 assists in 36 games says it all after an injury????? Do you think that's a good return??? As for the keeper watch the games and then reply.

I watched the games and everyone can have a bad game! Says a lot to me when their own fans say it is a loss so pretty much useless argument basing it on two games.

I'd argue a 21 year old with a 1/3 clean sheet record playing for Accrington is excellent.

Your opinion is not wanted, useful or relevant. Kindly log out of this forum, and don't bother coming back.

Opinion is all well and good, and I have no issue with different folks having different ones, but there are some posters who are almost always negative and seem to want to provoke an argument, rather than a debate...

Just my opinion of course!!

As for this GK, I'll reserve judgement until I see him play..

If neuer walked through our doors we'd still have some negativeness! Raggy is more than welcome to his opinion as is everyone else! Fwiw I think we're going about our rebuild quite fine at the moment!

We are moving quickly, bar rowe (and the possibility of mcsheffrey) the other two names thus far were not pedalled out like in the past - which has cost us admittedly - which suggests that fergie highlighted areas he wanted to strengthen (defence aside fair enough) and has probably therefore got prime targets!

I hope this an indication of things to come and that very shortly we'll have some movement in on the defence front!

This may just be the dawn of another upsurge in the fortunes of our great club!

The stats on Blair are a tad misleading because he spent a lot of that time recovering from a serious injury. All reports on this Keeper suggest he is a good young prospect.

Decent League two players by the sound of it. We need a team of them to get out of this league.

I'm far from being negative I just state facts, and I honestly think Blair is an awful signing, and a player on the decline, wether fergie can rejuvenate him well see, if anything I think it might be a deal to bring the defender in too...which in hindsight might be ok...hope I'm eating humble pie come the end of next season but I'm sure there's better out there..

Aye. We're shite at signing wingers.

Remember that tool that we signed in 2004? He'd failed at Newcastle, failed at Hartlepool and dropped into the Conference. 23 years old. Going nowhere. Attacking winger my arse. He'd scored 18 goals in about 30 appearances in Tier 4 and the Conference.

Bloody shite he was.

Post by: drfchound on May 25, 2016, 05:57:39 pm
How does anyone know whether Blair is signed as a guaranteed starter or a squad player?
Just because he is an early signing doesn't mean that other, better, players won't follow.

But it is being negative going off his stats rather than seeing him play. For Christ sake the lad hasn't even put a rovers shirt on yet and he's already deemed not good enough. Yes it's all good and well saying it is your opinion but my opinion is opposite to you!!
Title: Re: Is it a wind up??
Post by: Retdon1 on May 25, 2016, 06:04:57 pm
I would imagin Blair has been brought in as a squad player, One of the better players in a top half league 2 side. The young keeper signed from the team that finished 4th last season,  might have been brought in as a back up keeper, if u read the interview he says he expects to have big compition for the no1 shirt. Both sets of fans on their forums have said their sad to see both players leave so I would say that's good business.

Last season we signed the likes of ATS who were languishing in the reserves at Wigan. This season, so far, we've signed players who have played regularly at this level.

If you say the signings are shit every year you are bound to be right at least once.

How many games have you ever watched these 2 play Raggytash?? You have commented on the GK playing in the playoffs and not having a great game, he is 21 in a very high pressure game if that doesn't affect anyone I would be surprised! The fact that Accrington Stanley fans are disappointed tells me a lot, the fact he has kept a number of clean sheets in a rough and tumble league also tells me a lot and enough for me to be happy with his signature in the hope that we can help him develop! In terms of Blair,  he was fantastic from what I have read for York and was very well thought of by them and their supporters, how do we know at Mansfield he has been played on position, how many times have you seen him play? Is he short of confidence after sustaining a bad injury and just needs a good preseason under him? In terms of you meeting a woman to be able to procreate it seems unlikely!!!

I don't get why some of you have a question mark over Blairy. He had his injury in January 2015, at Carlisle, and has been fit for the last nine months. He's played more or less a whole seaaon with no recurrence of any issues.

I sincerely hope you keep referring to him exclusively as 'Blairy'. Eventually it will just become his defacto surname to the entire fanbase.

I have a mate who is a die hard Stanley fan. He's sorry to see the keeper leaves.  He reckons he was probably as good as anyone in league 2 last year very safe   His only criticism is that sometimes his kicking can be a bit off.  We should be used to that.

A lot depends on which players the fans choose to 'adopt' as a favourite. Stuckman, for instance was selected as such as soon as he was signed, before he'd saved a ball for us. For some strange reason some players become popular straight away, whereas others have to impress and not put a foot wrong for the  privilege.

    I still think Stuckman is more than good enough to be our keeper in league 2 and I would have preferred to have stuck with both him and Marosi for this season and used the budget elsewhere...However for whatever reason,and I still think something must have happened we don't know about, DF has decided he's not going to be involved in any shape or form and whatever our opinions it's his that counts...Etheridge is a good signing seen as though the above isn't going to happen...
    If nobody comes in for BFG it will be interesting to see if he actually comes back for pre season training,as there are one or two people who have been suggesting he wont, even though he is under contract...but then it's silly season on football fans gossip..lol
