I appreciate it is only training but both Coleman and Schofield look very decent. I rate Schofield extremely highly, he has been better than Smithies (who was excellent) at each comparable age group but he is still very young. Joel Coleman on the other hand is a few year older. 23 soon to turn 24 and really pushed Danny Ward during his time here. I would go as far as to say Colemans shot stopping was better than Wards, but Wards distribution/passing was better (which was a vital part of Wagner 4231 system from kick off). than Coelmans. However he's had 3 years to practice (promotion and 2 years in the Prem. Maybe looking for a loan keeper is not the highest of priorities? forget Ben Hamer. if thats training its laughable, bloody hell footballers are on easy street, It’s an 8minute video, I’m sure there must be some hard work going in. But yes, if just relying on what’s shown there, there is virtually zero physical effort or enthusiasm to react being demonstrated...maybe they’re just “learning the drills” rather than gaining from them at this stage. They need the guy who does the scouting highlights reels to do the videos of the hard bits of training, he usually can make any old rubbish look good. |

To be fair, Hamer looked good in the videos from pre-season last year. I agree that Schofield looks to have something about him and might be in contention for a first-team role before too long. I'm not convinced by Coleman, not sure why. He's at the age where he should be pushing for a start, regardless of who else is on the books. If we were to bring in a highly-rated prospect on loan, like the lad from Bournemouth, there are no guarantees he'd be any better than we've got. Personally I would prefer to see an older head come in. David Marshall would have fit the bill, but looks like he's going/gone to Wigan?Announced yesterday, 2 yr deal |

Westwood, as expected, signed back on at The Massive.

Would have been good, as would Westwood. Think your Adrian call is a decent one. |

We don't have £3.1m though, unless someone leaves. The young Bournemouth keeper, on loan at Wimbledon last season, seems about right. So what happened to our parachute payment, or is it generally accepted that our impoverished new owner has spent this to fund his purchase of the club? |

Watch players in a circle in training playing piggy in the middle... They have great control and quick passing. Put those same players in a game and half of them can't trap a bag of cement or pass a ball when not under pressure. Training videos mean nothing. How many visits down the local coop you expecting this season Yorkie? I am hoping for and am expecting a successful season with far more competitive matches, so hopefully far less than last season. I have nearly run out of COOPS now but at least I know where the CCTV is.. 👍 UTT. |

Lossl's wage (plus Durm, LDP, Williams etc) is off the bill and the relegation clauses have hit so the bill is affordable. |

The general feeling is that we’re only going to be spending into the millions this window if it’s generated first from player sales/releases. If this is the case, what’s happened to all the money (and I never thought we’d be spending into the tens of millions before anyone has a go!). |

I think the club's "players have to leave first" comment may have added to this, but in reality it's the case that aside from Left Back and Goalkeeper (both positions where players have left), we have depth. I believe this comment was more about space than funding - why would we go out and spend £5m on a defender before Zanka goes? Same in midfield with Billing, and so on. Being prudent isn't the same as being skint. |

Dear me what a pathetic thing to say.believe me town keepers work as hard as any in training clement his a real taskmaster and for illimformed people like you you are posting rubbish You’re reading what you want to see. I haven’t written anything at all to suggest what you’re saying...did you read the post directly before this one, they should be read together. Let me break it down for you.. - The effort demonstrated in the video is very low key. Do you disagree?
- I have stated there must be hard work going in, and that this is a simple 8minute clip taken out of a full day of effort...ie, there’s more to training than what we see in the video clip. This was my comment on someone suggesting footballers have an easy life, which obviously they don’t.
- The goalkeepers specifically also look pretty low key and lacking effort and drive in the clip (just as the outfield players)...so I was merely questioning whether the other person who thought they looked good was basing that on the video (which would seem odd to me, since they ARENT demonstrating hard work, technique or high effort), OR, based on what they’ve seen elsewhere...which obviously would be an opinion then that I’d attribute more value to.
So...in what specific way am I posting pathetic rubbish ?? I know how hard they work and I know training isn’t about 100% constant effort...I haven’t for one second suggested or thought that they aren’t being trained anything other than optimally. For what it’s worth, I have trained at the same track for the last few years as a current age category world record holder (who just ran a couple of weeks back as a 17 year old, an 800m quicker than the one that earned Steve Ovett an Olympic Gold ahead of Seb Coe)...I know exactly what the effort of the highest level of training and coaching looks like (and I know it’s not full on all the time), so, no need to wheel out the “you’re illinformed/you don’t understand it/I’ve been in the game” line that you often do thanks 😉 |

Indeed, would wages be an issue. Not really - if we paid him £25k a week on a 2 year deal that's £2.6 million, add on a decent signing fee and we could secure him for less than £3.5m - surely worth that? £30k a week is £3.1m not including signing on fee. I would agree with that, but not to sure that Big Phil will think the same, given Ramsdale on much less per week! Also, would Adrian choose to drop down to Championship level? An unknown I suspect. And, as I am not knowledgeable enough to say myself, would Adrian have the "playing style" that JS is most likely looking for (a ball playing keeper, not so much an old school keeper)? Just questions. Though it does look from the gossip that Ramsdale is the more likely choice. |

The initial post was very late last night after a bottle of red.

Also the games Coleman played in the cup when Ward was here, his 1sr leg semi-final play-off appearance and his game last year. When watching the video linked (there is a 2nd training video from yesterday showing some of the conditioning gym work, weights, core-strengthening and so on) I thought Coleman, Schofield and the other keeper looked really focused in the couple of training routine snippets we saw. Clearly keeperwise, we only saw a bit of warm up ball handling and and recovery movements. All those experiences of watching both Coleman and Schofield triggered the thought " Ahh if Coleman really works hard and shows development this pre-season then he might be in with a shout of taking the No1 shirt. I would still prefer a more experienced loan keeper brought in but maybe it might end up a lower priority than I thought at the beginning of the season. Hamer is a gonner Schofield genuine talent ready to push Championship level in about 2yrs. I hope that clears it all up for you both. |

So what happened to our parachute payment, or is it generally accepted that our impoverished new owner has spent this to fund his purchase of the club? It will be used for what it is designed for, to pay the wages of the players who are on big wages even with a 40% drop. You do realise that without the parachute payments our income will drop by almost £100m down to around £20m. Also, from what PH said in his interview, the budget for this season is the same as it would have been with DH still in charge. Which implies that the parachute payments are NOT being used for a leveraged deal - unless you think DH was going to pay himself some/most of the parachute payments. Hopefully someone can ask him directly at the Q&A whether it is a leveraged deal or not. |

It’s not fifa mate, if we go out and spunk our cash on new players before we get ride of the deadwood we’ll be paying top dollar for unused players. Of course there’s money to spend but we’ll be back down to under 10mil a season in a couple of years, you wouldn’t upgrade your car and just leave the old one to rot on the driveway would you? |

If anyone thinks that Dean's illness didn't motivate the sale and the timing, please have a re-think. This time last year he was fit and ready to continue the project. His illness changed everything. |

As a EPL why would he want to sell, the club seemed to have more or less transformed into a vibrant more or less self sustaining business...there isn’t a queue of multi billionaires knocking on the door trying to aggressively buy Hudds Town football club and throw £300m at it over 2 or 3 years. He probably had no intent to take a step backwards until during his illness...and he’s chosen an owner who he hopes will continue his legacy, to build on a community minded, sensibly ran football club that won’t chop its feet off to try and build a ladder with them to reach the apples. I suspect we’d have ended up with a similar / the same owner if Dean had exited whilst Town were an ongoing EPL club. |

I agree fully. With the caveat that Joe Coleman has these 2-3 weeks to stake his claim to being No1. As you say I can see a good loan keeper coming in either as No1 or to compete with Joe. With Joe turning 24 soon, he does need to get playing games regularly somewhere, if not Huddersfield then somewhere else in January. |

No, I too would like to solid, experienced pan keeper brought in. However when Danny Ward came in, he and Coleman were a similar age and fairly close in ability terms. Ward got the No1 spot and clearly developed over the season becoming the better keeper. Coleman is now nearly 24, time to make his break through ( with or without Huddersfield). So I think Coleman has the next few weeks to step up and stake his claim to being No1. If not get in a loan keeper. There is a couple of weeks grace there. I do take the point about Ben Hamer looking good pre-season and then crumbling under the pressure of a proper league game. Coleman has never been anywhere near ward in terms of ability. Not sure what you are basing that on .. and I'm sure unless he makes huge strides and or our money runs out then he will next play at first team level for someone else . But it's a game of opinions and you are of course entitled to yours Struggling with the first bit, anything on target went in with Ward in goal and his reading of a game was laughable. Good job he can save pens. |

It does beg the question why didn't DH sell at the top of the market when we were in the PL and could have got the sort of owner that might have made a serious investment in the club, instead of when we've been relegated and our market value and attractiveness has plummeted. Maybe because he spent half the season at death's door in hospital. Just a thought. Yes DH of course had much more very serious matters to deal with - like his life! |
