So basically a team made up of players other clubs didn't want , Nobby's got his work cut out

Lupton, Youngquest and Thacko would be "ok(ish)" in our league now. In SL they will be very ordinary at best!!

We'll see how good he is now after years of having nice well off teams.
Personally I think they've signed well.
A couple of the players no one's heard of are good young aussies rather than over the hill types.

Their biggest issue will be the underprepared start, very unprepared

That's 'an' issue! Poor prep, inadequate familiarisation, an 'ordinary' looking squad - if the expected tonkings happen early on, the crowds will hardly flock to support the cause. The away fans will drop the fixture as NOT being one of their priorities! e.g. some Wakey fans on a restricted budget (I know loads!!) may have to pick and choose which away games they go to. With the crusaders perhaps being looked upon as a foregone conclusion (again, it is by many I know, not all - but by most), then they may prioritize a trip to Leeds, Cas, Northern, Wigan etc than the expense of a journey to Wrexham to see a nowt game!!!! - and believe me, that's how some of the people I know who watch SL are now regarding the crusaders fixture!!


As I said, that's "IF" the expected happens!

The other way of looking at is that he's got a team made up of players with something to prove.

I totally agree with this post.I would not travel to see a boring one sided game.They will come bottom of the league, and to be honest i do not agree with celtic getting a franchise place.
