Re: James Berry signs
Humphreys is our ‘best’ player - the one who could feasibly play at the highest level today. I’ll be amazed if he comes out of the team. He’s a mid table Championship player at least.
Re: Rumour Mill
Or 250/1 in my case (Ladbrokes odds boost).
I've already booked a cruise in June, in anticipation of the payout.
Re: New Manager Rumour Mill
the only wycombe managers whose tenures were entirely within the Noel’s House Party epoch were John Gregory, Neil Smillie and yes, Alan Smith
Re: Rumour Mill
Fairly certain this was in response to someone suggesting that we should send a team to play a friendly Vs Athletic Newham in pre season.
On the subject of Kone, the absence of @kipper is worrying me
Re: Ryan Tafazolli leaves the club on loan
Good luck to Taff - have been missing his YouTube vids as they were an interesting eye opener into the life of a professional footballer that you don’t get to see often. Especially during the mic’d up match days.
I was kind of expecting the news of him moving on today as I am sure I heard Sam Grace say a day or two ago (I think on an injury update) that they would be sitting down with Taff on Friday and see where he is. It didn’t seem like it was quite a “will he be in the match day squad” kind of sit down chat.
But Ho Lee Phuc I did not see a move to Hong Kong on the cards.
Good Luck to him. He’ll go with a fondness from me as he seemed, in his own way, to want to connect to the fans through social media and even just standing in the home terrace that time on a match day.
Re: Wycombe Wanderers Women
Something needs to be done to reduce the disparity in standards within divisions in each tier including WSL, part of this surely is
a) creating a proper coaching pathway for aspiring coaches to help improve standards
b) the FA supporting girls football in schools through a mix of funding, training coaches, positive engagement from the top tiers of the game, ensuring boys are not allowed to play girls football etc.
c) creating more opportunities to participate, including these proposals
d) rebranding/PR to make it clear women's football is a "different game" to men's & not a watered down version
I hope that they (FA, WSL etc) have canvassed and listened to young women & girls as to the reasons they get put off sports including football & thought about how they reverse that trend.
One of my companies delivers wheeled sport coaching (skate boarding, in line skating, bmx, scooters) and our biggest challenge is getting the promising under 10 girls to carry on once they go to secondary school, roll models like Skye Brown help but it is also down to positive feedback from parents, teachers, friends & coaches & debunking the myth that activities/sports are somehow unfeminine etc.
Re: New Manager Rumour Mill
Sir Alex Ferguson had squeaky bum time, at least we'd have Crinkley Bottom time
Re: Rumour Mill
Especially for those fans who have money on him at 150/1 for getting the golden boot.
Re: Ryan Tafazolli leaves the club on loan
Best of luck Taf, a Rolls-Royce when the parts were in working order.
