QPR are set to buy Motherwell’s goalie Calum Ward so that puts paid to big Ox coming I’d imagine even on loan.

We need to leave a pathway for young Thomas Margetts to get into the first team squad too when he`s deemed good enough.

the fee could have been something as low as 5 grand and the plan is another keeper comes in, Terrell moves back down south with him about to become a dad in the next couple of months.

with the struggles in that position until Oxborough came in, i cant see them only having those 2 as options. see what Lennon has to say on it either before or after the weekend`s game.

Crusaders look to be under a transfer embargo as well so maybe a deal they "had" to do to free up funds/squad place

The problem was the rearranged fixtures combined with our Cup run caused congestion which meant we weren`t always able to field our strongest team. It might have affected our qualification for the play-offs.


Not technically true. The league had plenty of opportunities to schedule the league games elsewhere, but they chose to put them right next to our cup games.

Having internationals is a good thing for the club. We didn`t have the squad depth last season, which is something it looks like we`re addressing this time around.

This is Andy Tod`s world and we are lucky to live in it.

Going by the socials, Crusaders fans adore him.

Saw an interview with their manager earlier. He said once he got going he was a match winner for them and will be hard to replace.

His compilation on youtube looked good and his timing and coming for crosses is a positive. From a couple of photos I couldnt make out if he needed a bit of conditioning, but no doubt NL and the coaching team will sort that out. He seems like a character and will be good to have around the place.

Are we on a par the Crusaders and their league ?

taken from the Courier
“Musa came to my attention a few years ago when he was playing sort of junior football, really,” said Lennon of Dibaga’s remarkable rise. “But it sort of went away again.
“Obviously, he’s been over in Ireland with Crusaders and he’s had a good second half of the season.
“He’ll obviously complement the goalkeeping area, which we’ve been short in.
“He needs a bit of conditioning work but he trained on Friday morning and he looks fine. He knows the environment and we’re going to push him and hopefully make him better."

“But we’ll definitely be going for another one, yeah.”

it also says the other wont be Kieran Wright.

Makes sense going for another one, in my opinion.

If we do get another in, I can see Terrell going out on loan.

I`d assume we have a scout or two in Ireland, or Lennon really fancies that market.

I`m probably reading too much into this but I noticed Dibaga is number 12 & Terrell is number 40 for the season, so presumably the keeper we`ve still to sign will have the number 1 jersey...

I know squad numbers don`t mean too much, but if Dibaga was signed as first choice I would`ve thought he`d have the number 1 shirt...

Terrell didn`t look like he was moving very well when they came out for the warm up, and he didn`t dive for many of the shots towards the end of it. There could potentially have been an injury there, which may have forced Lennon into starting a goalkeeper who had only arrived on Friday.

The main issues are at centre half and in central midfield. Gilmour needs more quality alongside him, and when we can`t defend long balls, it really makes you question the quality of our centre halves.

How have we ended up paying money for a backup keeper who’s in poor shape physically? He clearly wasn’t expecting to be playing at this level.

What am I missing?

He looks like he is 4-6 weeks away from full fitness I thought. Its obviously early doors but we were undoubtedly very poor and looked like the lower league team. A bit of work to do ready for the championship season where we must hit the ground running.

I think we`re being a bit harsh on the keeper, he`ll definitely be fitter for FT training but some of the comments on his shape are exaggerated.

I thought he did fine 1st half, what did surprise me about the 2nd goal was watching his highlights and with his handball background he didn`t spread himself, he must make himself bigger there.

I`m surprised at NL`s comments in that he`ll compliment the GK position, I`d presumed any signing would be as an No.1.

He`s actually chubby, an overhang on a championship keeper is poor.
