Because he quite literally said we’ve had a couple in on trial who weren’t right for him and so sent them packing.

[BigLeftToe]

Scary times ahead looking at the current squad list above. Think you need to add Jessop, Pugh and Collins (did he play in the tin pot trophy??) to that list. That’s 18 “pros”, leaving room for 5 signings. If the trialists Bunn and the LB sign that’s only 3 spots left!

In my opinion we’d then still require a decent GK, CM, winger and two strikers to be in with any chance of being competitive.

[BigLeftToe]

Just means we’re in dire need of another CM (along with a GK, LB, 2 wingers and 2 strikers as a bare minimum).

[BigLeftToe]

It really is a bit of a shit show. A few injuries to what’s left of senior players and we’ll be down to fielding the youth team already (and look what happened with having a plethora of injuries at the start of last season!).

Looking at the current free agents still available, there really isn’t much to choose from. Putting a competitive squad together is already very unlikely, the bargain basket is all that’s left!

[BigLeftToe]

The embargo supposedly means you can only sign players on one years deals yet Millen signed up for two.

[BigLeftToe]

He’s Barrow’s GK Coach, so unless we give Muzzer his p45 he won’t be coming here!

[BigLeftToe]

We’ve had worse (although that probably isn’t saying much).

[BigLeftToe]

Always looked relatively decent when he’s played against us…potentially a decent signing especially as he’ll have something to prove.

[BigLeftToe]

He carried the ball well and worked hard but his end product was shocking…terrible crosser of the ball from open play. Devarn Green had a better output than him stats wise last season, which says quite a lot. Would still have him here though unless we start pulling some signings out of the bag sharpish!

[BigLeftToe]

Is this really what it’s now come to? Being unable to lure bang average players out of non-league! Just highlights the depths to which we have sunk.

Forgive me not getting excited, hasn’t been a regular starter for the past 3 seasons (started a whopping 10 games last season). Whoop-dee-do!

36 days until our first home pre-season game against Burton. Will we have a team to put out!?

[BigLeftToe]

Dave Mulligan’s solitary goal for us…a Del Piero-esque free-kick fired into the top corner!

Featherstone put stability in who’s midfield? Certainly wasn’t ours…was at the club for about 2 weeks without making an appearance!

[BigLeftToe]

Maybe he was telling the truth and we’re not making any signings and going with what we’ve got plus the youth team. Wouldn’t surprise me!

No BLT Israel was sacked because his views didn’t fall in line with Australia rugbys Views he did sue them and won an out of court settlement, The human rights act provides us all with the freedom of thought, belief and religion. No more no less. He just expressed his religious view that all gays were going to hell and that is what his religious freedom and belief says,might not fall in line with your view but it’s something that you have to allow, otherwise we will end up with a dictatorship, which maybe all well and good unless you end up with the likes of uncle Donald or uncle Kim running the show.

According to this logic any homophobe can spout hate based on one’s sexuality and just proclaim it’s due to their religious beliefs…and we’re supposed to just accept that as OK? Seriously? There’s a huge difference between freedom of expression and spouting hate, you clearly don’t understand the difference so go and have a lie down!

[BigLeftToe]

Israel Folau was sacked because he’s a homophobic bigot.

[BigLeftToe]

Goes to show what can be achieved on a shoestring budget if you make the right signings (funnily enough it’s not by signing the likes of Jarvis, KDT and Mooney who had never scored a professional league goal between them). Songo’o also looked twice the footballer he ever did for us!

Cliff Byrne's Right Peg, Northumbiron

[BigLeftToe]

Was promoted whilst playing with us, Blackpool and Oxford…can’t be all that bad. I’d take him over Watson.

[BigLeftToe]

It’ll be Slocombe who also played under Cox at Notts County. At least it’s a slight improvement on Watson.

[BigLeftToe]

“Cox is in charge.” One of the funniest things I’ve heard for a while!

He’s been relegated from League 2 twice in the past 3 seasons…will be just what Swann is after!

Why didn’t we offer Bedeau a contract to command a fee?

[BigLeftToe]

Probably cheap as chips too…let’s not forget he was just a non-league assistant manager prior to this season!

First time this season I’ve made zero effort to try and watch the game and just spent time outdoors with the family instead. Definitely the right decision after reading the comments here.

I’ve lost all interest…doubt it’ll come back anytime soon.

[BigLeftToe]

We just don’t look like a team playing as a singular unit at all. And I thought Cox had made us more solid at the back? Our defending is embarrassing, especially from set pieces!

[BigLeftToe]

Scrap that, it’s a 3-5-2. Double figures in corners conceded already…yawn.

[BigLeftToe]

Probably the most attacking lineup we’ve put out all season.
