Am I missing something? Surely Bennett was signed before TW was here? Bennett arrived in Jan 18 and TW in summer 18?

So just to clarify, all the sh** signings made were DC but every good player signed was down to someone else. Add to that the lucky promotions he got and we can all agree he doesn’t deserve a scrap of credit. This seems to be the gist, don’t dare disagree 😂 |

Tommy signed Bennett who DC liked and played most weeks and Cogs doesn’t rate. And let’s not forget DC made some brilliant signings which got us into Div1 and helped retain our status last season. I don’t know why people think I’m hammering DC, I’m saying TW isn’t the villain a lot say he is “what’s the point of TW?” |

Just to clarify I’m not hiding behind a user name in my pants in my bedroom. I’m Paul Colley, as I said a lot know me on here anyway having played for the forum side. Got a suit on heading into London on the train, no Banned word hiding behind a user name making sly digs. I hope some of you have changed your pants.  |

Going back to his former club to sign two players, one GC already knew, is hardly doing a great job! |

Going back to his former club to sign two players, one GC already knew, is hardly doing a great job! As a scout you are asked to find players and you give a manager list of what you have found. I know for a fact TW never found Rodman or Payne, his team were just asked to provide backgrounds on these two. Paul Hurst left Shrews and him and DC are real close and the question was what should we take from them now you have left? Mathews is one for rhe future, Bodin only came good in his second season. Let’s see what Matthews is like with a bit of maturity. Reilly I believe is one of our lowest paid players in the club. DC asked for a striker to play off a big man, this is what Reilly did at St Mirren. But he’s been signed and hasn’t played off a big man has he? Payne was big but never won anything and Gavin has started a lot of games next to Nicholls. Now we have a big man Nicholls is playing off him but I saw with my own eye at Southend that again Reilly has potential, did you go and see it? Finally Upson and I have a question for you Topper, why did DC ask for a holding player when we have Ollie Clarke and then give another contract to Sincs? Why wasn’t the budget spent on a winger? DC asked for an experienced holding player, Upson is this and won promotion to the Championship with Yeovil and also played a high level with Milwall. A scout can only bring you what he’s been asked to bring you and with Upson came Ogogo who Cogs rated as well but DC went for Upson. So you answer my question Topper, why was the budget spent on 7 central midfielders and no path to the bench for Russe? You will ask how I know all this, it comes with foundation and I have to watch what I say but I am a supplier to the club along with 6 other football league clubs. |

Not that I’m defending the amount of midfielders we have at the club compared to our paucity of widemen, but surely DC asked for a holding player (Upson) because we didn’t have one at the club before he arrived? Sincs and O.Clarke certainly aren’t holding players. Lines sits deep but is a playmaker rather than an enforcer. We did need a CDM IMO, but for sure both DC and GC have neglected the flanks criminally. |

And we saw it last night WeAreGas with no width, Rodman is a working wide man like Monkhouse but we don’t have a game changer match winner like Bodin or Muzzy and we should have signed more wide men. But even if you say Ollie abs Sincs are not holding players then and we needed an Upson, you have to still ask why budget wages were spent on Sincs with his injury record. Add in Leads as well with Clarke and Parts, DC choose loyalty over what we actually needed. Upson isn’t a Blizzard, his CV shows he hasn’t mugged a career and I won’t judge him until I see a proper side around him en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ed_UpsonIt’s funny how Bakayoko and someone on this thread said lucky escape is turning into a fans favourite at Cov and rated. And it’s also funny the Sky Commentators said last night Sunderland were after Jonson Clarke Harris as well regardless of him being ex Cov where TW was. |

We 100% miss a game-changer/match-winner - although I imagine Bennett was supposed to be that man in DC’s eyes.
As for Sincs, I imagine the thinking behind it was that he’s on very modest wages (I’d have thought?), versatile, and a superb personality to have around the club even when injured (especially when we’d also lost characters like Ellis and Browner). My guess would be that DC wanted to squeeze one more season out of Sincs to help ‘transition’ the squad. Leads I would have binned, however.
JCH looks like a cracking player to me and a very smart addition to the squad.

Bump, our scouting/transfer efficiency seems to have improved since this bloke has come in. Looking at Coventry yesterday (where TW arrived from), they seem to be doing something right too..

I wonder how many of those young players he had signed when he at Coventry? Plus were today's already lined up before BG arrived. |

Our recruitment under DC was terrible for the large part. GC really reaped the rewards of Tommy’s work and BG will too. His knowledge is first class.

Seeing the club made a ton of money from it and we got two promotions it couldn’t have been that bad. Not doubt someone can come on and tell us that every good player was nothing to do with DC but every crap one was. Is he still to blame for the 17 million debt as posters were implying. |

I’m starting to think Wael’s been doing a programming course down Filton College and gashead1981 is his first attempt at writing a bot. |
