Genuine question. What have I said that's wrong. I was being complimentary in response to the other poster or have I misunderstood the other posters post? Chappers himself has said he has a purple patch when he scores goals for fun. I was just saying imagine how good he'd be if he had more than that purple patch. [Post edited 31 Jul 2024 20:57]

Personally think he had more than 'a' purple patch last season. You're right he's said that he tends to score in patches but don't think he's ever said he only has 'one' per season. These are the game weeks that he scored and assisted in and his goal contributions are spread well throughout the season. Scored: 3,4,6, 10, 11, 16, 18, 20, 27, 32, 34, 36, 39, Assists: 7, 8, 16, 18, 20, 22, 35, 46 |  |

Chappers definitely does have streaks where everything he touches goes in and other bits of the season where he might go a little while without a goal. In case anyone misunderstood the post you were responding to, it was intended to be tongue-in-cheek - Chaplin is a great finisher. Such a fun little player to watch, hoping he steps up and has the season of his life. |  |

George Hirst on 19:51 - Jul 31 by FrimleyBlue | I've mentioned above what i think in regards to numbers.. I am aware alot depends on who stays who goes from now. And whilst the way you have written the post it comes across dramatic when you see 17.. But from the end of season.. we lost Hladky Sarmiento Donacien Ball Travis Moore Williams ( only using as took a squad place) Ahadme Jackson Potential going or gone that we know of Slicker loan Ndaba As mentioned in other post. Maybe taylor. Harness. Edmundson. Walton. Baggott. Humpreys. Ladapo So yeah that's quite potential number of changes from the end of season squad. The key here tho is potential number.

I really don't think we need to find replacements for players who didn't even kick a ball for us last season |  | |  |

Of course not a necessity for two of them to be replaced. |  |

Same as broadhead he didn't travel then it came out, I read it as said until it's confirmed, Whether it's BS on some media platform someone said he had keyhole surgery in the week, time will tell, |  | |  |

Perhaps to not throw more leverage to clubs we’re looking to buy from. Being desperate buyers only ramps the price up. |  | |  |

Because if we are trying to sign forward players at the moment, this news will only drive up the prices! |  | |  |

Presumably it will come out today. Surely the question will be asked by the local press. |  | |  |

You got downvoted a lot. Fair play, I didn’t engage in the thread as believed the information to be true but didn’t want it to be. We look so light up top don’t we.. [Post edited 3 Aug 2024 12:28]

I didn't comment directly in the OP but who has egg on face? The OP literally said the only info he had was a message from a mate and no idea where info was from. Majority of time time such rumour is rubbish and it's unhelpful to post it out. We still have no idea the situation with Hirst other than looks like injured to some degree. 1 bloke getting a rumour right means it's good to post self confessed unvalidated "message from mate". |  |

Depends on how trustworthy the mate is. A value judgement they made. His mate could be KM for all we know. Those with egg on their face are probably people digging him out saying he has past form for this, etc. It's there in writing. From my limited knowledge, I'd say Parky is a loyal Town fan that doesn't seek attention. So I was willing to listen and see, rather than judge and put down. |  |

There’s no secrecy, just the news is always confirmed by McKenna at the next available opportunity, and that was today. |  |

Said mate has been correct multiple times this pre season, which is why I posted it. I have no idea where he gets his info from and don’t tend to ask. [Post edited 3 Aug 2024 15:51]
