  1. That's daft! So you would jeopardise promotion? The best deal for us to sell him for as much as possible and keep him on loan for as long as possible!
  2. There are rumours about him coming to us for a medical tomorrow on link below http://thetownend.com/index.php/topic,42445.30.html
  3. What absolute rubbish!! There is no comparison between them....
  4. Sorry mate - see my other post...
  5. Article from previous post - good read. Josh Wright: Living up to expectations at S****horpe United 25.03.10 | Chris Beattie READ MORE NEWS ON: Liverpool, S****horpe United, Tottenham 0diggs diggThe ease with which Josh Wright has tackled his first full season in the Championship suggests bigger things ahead for the young S****horpe United midfielder. A regular with England's youth teams, Wright captained the U17s on more than one occasion, the stylish holding midfielder is enjoying his first campaign at Championship level and meeting the expectations of those tipping the 20 year-old for a big Premiership career. "I am very pleased with how this season has gone at S****horpe especially after such an up and down - or I should say down and up season!" laughed Wright with tribalfootball.com. "I'm gradually getting there. It has been a slow procedure but its coming together now." Having come through the system at Charlton Athletic, Wright's reputation drew interest from the likes of Liverpool and Tottenham before the Addicks went into meltdown. The midfielder admits Charlton's problems did hinder his development. "If it wasn’t for how Charlton, the club itself, had gone over the years, I'm sure I'd be where I and others want and expected me to be. But I'm playing in the championship at 19 to 20 years of age, which is a very good achievement, especially when you look at how few of the players in my age group with England are still playing and at what level," says Wright, who does hope to catch the eye of England U21 boss Stuart Pearce before the end of the season. "I haven’t spoken to Stuart, himself, but I've heard he has been at one or two games and some of his scouts have been here through the season, so all I can do is keep trying to do my best at this level to impress him and others to get myself in the u21s," adds Wright. Wright credits his move to Glanford Park after a successful spell on-loan last season with hometown club Gillingham. The youngster helped Gillingham win promotion to League One, including an influential performance in the Wembley playoff victory over Shrewsbury. Wright takes up the story: "There were several clubs interested and S****horpe being one of a few in the Championship, they were one of my favourite choices. The main interest came after the final at Wembley. "I went on to meet the gaffer (Nigel Adkins) and I was very impressed with what he had to say and I made my choice there and then. I'm sure it was the right choice after playing so much this year. "I had something in my contract at Charlton which allowed me to move to another club if I wished, so that helped. I felt I needed a change and that’s all I need to say about that. S****horpe just seemed the right club for me." While reluctant to discuss the manner with which he left The Valley, Wright admits the way Charlton went into freefall after their relegation from the Premiership was a heartbreaker. "My time at Charlton was very strange. Overall I loved it there and the club will always be in my heart and I feel I'm not finished there," says Wright. "It was horrible at times with the relegations and the change of managers. "You would impress one manager and he’d love you and then I would have to go and do it all again with another and that was the story for the years I was there." Despite the senior frustrations, Wright is grateful to the grounding he received at the Addicks' acclaimed academy. "The academy is superb there and they have played a big part in where I am now. But its just a shame how the club went over the years because it didn’t help youngsters like me and I feel they have lost out on a lot of players because of it. "I'm sure I would have played there more and would still be there now if it wasn’t for what happened to the club, but I'd love to see them back where they belong and that is in the top two divisions - definitely. "I enjoyed my time there overall and would never rule a return out because I have unfinished business there. They will always be in my heart." These days, it's all about S****horpe and keeping the club in the Championship. Recent results have seen United move five points above the relegation zone. "I'd love to keep S****horpe in this division and for us to push on as a club to bigger and better things," adds Wright. "It's a well run club, although it's small, but that doesn’t say we cannot push on." Wright says Nigel Adkins' passing game is ideal for his development and insists they can maintain it - and beat the drop. "Yeah, it suits me because they are a passing team and a close family club that make you feel welcome. We all believe we will be safe." .
  6. Interesting interview. http://www.tribalfootball.com/articles/josh-wright-living-expectations-s****horpe-united-724331
  7. Garbage? DH is an excellent full back so sorry you're completely wrong in my view!
  8. Sorry what a total overreaction! Adkins has done well the results prove it get over it...
  9. I said that I agree with Nick's sentiments so was not being defeatist. I just think that there is a long way to go. I think the sequence of games between Feb 1 and March 5 will be critical when we play 6 out of 8 away!! If we come through that then I will really start believing!
  10. Nick, whilst I agree with your sentiments we have played 17 games, 10 at home and 7 away, and lost 4 times under NA - MK Dons, Huddersfield and Carlisle away plus Brentford home. Therefore let's not get carried away Brentford springs to mind!
  11. Here here!
  12. Sorry Ormerod was rubbish, Beatts was quality!
  13. Frankly this is like a Puncheon witch hunt! The bloke played well yet people just want to slag the bloke off. In the first half he was our best player. Get off his back....
  14. Sorry you are wrong. He was by far our most dangerous player in the first half.....
  15. Absolute rubbish!!!
  16. Wasn't Barney on the bench last week - and often last season? I like Dickson and don't understand how bloody Lee Holmes gets off the bench first. He is hopeless!!
  17. Guly after his brilliant performance last week! Barnard from bench again.....
  18. Lee Barnard is a knob frankly for getting involved, and should be fined by the club if this is proved...
  19. .......why no loanee???
  20. and then there was one..........
  21. Isn't all this rather an over reaction? I think the mods do a great job keeping an eye on the rest of us. As far as I can see since I have been a member this sort of problem has always been there, and is minimal in comparison with some forums around. Frankly what has changed is the forum has become dull. I put this down to the lack of rumour, inside info, gossip or whatever else you want to call it which of course is not anyone's fault. NC's rather rigid, ultra secret way of doing things is probably the reason why this has happened. Finally I would also remind some posters that the forum is a very small, dare I say insignificant part of SFC, and that noone really cares what is posted. So just loosen up, let people say what they like and stop taking it all so seriously.
  22. PNE fans wanrt usa to take him - they think he can't pass and has no heart.....hope they're wrong....
  23. More likely means NA realises Pulis and Wotton BOTH starting is disastrous............
  24. I have no reason to question you but surely NA did? I cannot believe easily that NA would leave a supportive workplace allowing him freedom, to then join an organisation that you describe. NC may be a control freak (the owner of Coliseum coaches who drive the team might support this) but if it s bad as you suggest.................no way......
