...in 2008 (17 years ago) Matt Bloomfield played 90 minutes for Wycombe Wanderers in a 1-0 League Two win over Rochdale at Spotland.

In 2009 (16 years ago) Matt Bloomfield played 74 minutes for Wycombe Wanderers in a goal-less League Two draw with Rotherham United at Adams Park (replaced by Lewwis Spence).

In 2019 (six years ago) Matt Bloomfield played 87 minutes for Wycombe Wanderers in a 1-0 League One defeat to Gillingham at Adams Park (replaced by Nathan Tyson).

I would go for ‘bizarre’ rather ‘worrying’ personally. It suggests there’s something going on we don’t know about.

Not sure this jury is still ‘out.’ MD just said they’re fit, they’re just not good enough to get into the team. Which is not what we needed in the January window. Wrexham signed Sam Smith.

Did we? I must have missed that. I read that he had scored 7 goals for Chesterfield from 22 appearances in League Two but, if I remember correctly, he hadn’t played much in the lead up to his transfer to Wycombe. I believe he may have been recovering from injury.

Yeah but Kone has only just come back and the others haven't exactly been on fire in recent games. Add in Sadlier when ready and Berry could be way out of it, he's probably wondering why we bought him as much as we are.

Yeah, usually if you want to use data or your contacts to get unknown gems from unusual places you not only go younger but also go cheap so the risk isn't there, spending so much on unheard of and unproven players smacks of agents hawking their clients about.

It certainly seems an unusual approach.

Even if we understand that we're getting signings in before rules change a bit, it seems unlikely there weren't equally as higjh rated/cost signings to come in and make an immediate impact

Unless they were signed with a certain manager in mind, a manager who then didn't want to come.

But that'd be getting into conspiracy type stuff.

This is why WTV is becoming an increasingly attractive option.

MD also said he didn’t intend disrupting the team that had done so well before his arrival and he hasn’t. He’s had just 4 games as head coach and remains undefeated with just one unstoppable goal conceded. I think if any jury considered those facts the verdict would be not guilty.

We may lose players to injury or suspension before the season is out and if that happens, the new guys will get their chance.
