The opposition - Cunninglinguist - 25-06-2023
Includes everyone in our division.
Any major shakers in the transfer market? Lots on here who whinge about who we have or haven’t signed but other teams who have aspirations to beat us have to do the same scrabbling around for players. Who are we up against?
RE: The opposition - Theyak2 - 25-06-2023
I think Oxford utd have signed well. 5 or 6 in so far.
No one else stands out for me
RE: The opposition - Hammie - 25-06-2023
At least with 'Wigan and Reading coming down and in strife, the rest of the division might be slightly better placed than usual compared to the relegated lot and money. Might even become the norm for relegated clubs looking at championship fianances

Bolton I reckon will be strong. Derby the same.
RE: The opposition - Hammie - 25-06-2023
Derby (nd Bolton) show how quickly financial problems are swept under the carpet and clubs and fans just carry on regardless.

Swept under the carpet problems means they still have problems just out of sight. Is this actually the case? I’m guessing only they will know
RE: The opposition - bluetagagain - 26-06-2023
I think Oxford could be a force this year they’ve made a couple off good signings so far, although last seasons squad for them was poor.
RE: The opposition - Cunninglinguist - 26-06-2023
Who have Oxford got that are any good? They spending big?
RE: The opposition - Pompey_in_Derby - 26-06-2023
Interesting developments on the opposition front!
First up is that nauseating Joey Barton and his bunch of thugs. They've just signed Jevani Brown, who's sure to get a hostile reception from the FP crowd - and especially from our female fans!
As for financially strapped Reading, they've offered their manager's job to scummer Selles. Could be a match made in heaven. After all, he has achieved a grand total of 2 wins in his entire managerial career and Reading have a transfer embargo with possible points deductions to follow! Then again, they may remain without a manager if he's refused a work permit!

Bristol Rovers have signed a couple of players as well as Jevani Brown, his court case is scheduled for early July. Barton starts a 3 match stadium ban at Fp for misconduct towards a Referee following a home defeat to Sheffield Wednesday. Charlton have signed Chichester born goalkeeper Harry Isted after his release by Luton Town. Isted impressed when on loan to Barnsley at the end of last season. If Charlton's take over is concluded successfully I would expect them to sign more. They had a bid accepted for Alfie May but the signing hasnt gone through yet.

Rodrigues won’t have Langstaff in front of him inflating his numbers.
also won’t be playing against part time plumbers or electricians he won’t be getting the same time or space he had in the national league.
RE: The opposition - Cunninglinguist - 27-06-2023
It’s amazing, the in depth knowledge of other teams/leagues players there is on this forum.
I can just about work out whether our players are shit, or not.
RE: The opposition - West Australian Portsmouth Fan - 27-06-2023
I think Sean Raggett is borderline shit. Some good points some bad. He’s no Matt Clarke or Adam Webster let’s put it that way
RE: The opposition - Cunninglinguist - 27-06-2023
I think there would be quite a few league 1 sides who would like to have him. I wouldn’t see a rush from Championship teams, clamouring for his services.
Despite a lot of negative comments on here, I doubt there would be many who’d want to see him on the opposition team sheet.

No arguments from me there I think you’re spot on. He’s the epitome of a League One centre half
