Was thinking the same….can’t see him on U18 or B team or first team on official site.

Surely you can carry a striker if he’s going to score goals?
2 cloggers up front won’t get you out of this league. Not saying Healey is for one second but if he gets injured then where’s the goals?

I think it is more the impression it gives the rest of the squad if they see Duff picking a player who is tossing it off in training and matches. He said in his interview when he joined that he has 3 non negotiables which are fit, strong and organised. He also says "sweat on the shirt" a lot. Bojan hardly moved against Harrogate last week, touched the ball about 3 times and in reality didn't look arsed. Duff clearly isn't having that and is showing the group he means what he says

Anyone heading over to Austria? We're going over on Wednesday to pick up the Thursday and Sunday matches. Be good to meet up for a few I'm just over an hour away after a steady road trip from the final in Berlin. Any meet ups planned other than the matches and event on Wednesday?

There are quite a few of us based in and around Worgl. Where are you staying? Think Worgl will be used as a meeting place

We’d die for that shirt wouldn’t we? If manager has made an example of him then so be it. A costly mistake of a signing on evidence seen so far.

Francis Hurl is a keeper. He was loaned to Golcar briefly in 2023 and did well in his one and only game. He signed pro last season.

Surprised with the lack of CB's that Loick Ayina isn't part of the group?

Not sure how he got on in Scotland but clearly not anywhere near as well as Spencer did Our defence in general has looked dodgy over the last two seasons, 139 goals conceded in that time. Hopefully we have some new CB's lined up to tighten things at the back. It should be a big priority, especially now Balker has a broken ankle.

Hopefully we have some new CB's lined up to tighten things at the back. It should be a big priority, especially now Balker has a broken ankle. I’ll keep saying this: a big reason for defensive frailties has been that the midfield was nowhere good enough. Not enough ability on the ball to take pressure away, not disciplined enough to keep the ball away from the defence. There’s a reason we talk about two organised banks of four as a basic defensive shape, and that’s because the midfield is a key line of defence. The same defenders, minus Colwill and Sarr (notably left-footed it should be said) plus Helik and Nakayama behind a competent midfield in 21/22 were far more solid. On Ayina - done well in two spells north of the border. Has looked raw when we’ve seen him, but I think he does have something. But he needs to break through this season, and if Duff doesn’t rate him then his chances are limited.

How nice does that place look. Wouldn't mind going there to "work" for a week That miss from Koroma at the end was funny. Sorba with the arm waving in disgust. Easy to say from these short clips but it looks like a harmonious squad at the moment

Presume injured or he would have played for B team today? Not according to chicken on his pod Chicken now saying on X that Bojan got a slight knock. He's not going to survive a full season.

PR spin this one.
news leaks we’ve left him at home because he's not training at the required intensity so use the slight knock card to cover it.
definitely doesn’t make sense to leave a player totally away from the squad for a knock, a big injury yes a knock no. Would still be useful to have him at the camp, in training, team bonding etc.
I’d be gobsmacked if he’s still with us come close of the window.

Hopefully he isn't, because we need players that will run through a brick wall for us, "sweat on the shirt" as Duff calls it. You can carry players that are a bit soft if they contribute in other ways, such as bagging loads of goals or creating loads of goals, but let's face it, he's not one of those players. He won't be missed if he does go (apart from a few who will be gutted at his departure), and it frees up a squad place for another recruit.
