“Can’t understand the decision to release Pugh – not a world beater by any means but I’d be surprised if he’s replaced with anything better.”
If he’s not we’ll be in more trouble than I think we’re in already.
Morning or moaning?

Welcome Tom, you started off very well then let yourself down a bit after “massive worry.” Happily you recovered and finished strongly.

I think Andy Dibble has retired. Shame they could have built an interesting squad.
Does that include the ground?
He’ll be there to countersign the contracts of the 8 new players that Keith has lined up ready for the return to training.
Excuse me for being thick, but why eight days?
Most contracts aren’t up until 30th.8 players in before pre-season training starts (in 3 days at time of posting) is what les is hoping for. He knows, as we all do, that it’s very unlikely to happen but his optimists hat sits firmly on his head. Mine is already in the suitcase on top of the wardrobe.
All last summers signings now gone but the chief scout, presumably a major contributor to their recruitment, still remains. Keith Hill said in interview that current recruitment is down to him with possible recommendations from Lee Turnbull, Tony McMahon and maybe even Andrew Boyce and (unbelievably) Dan Gallimore. One significant omission from that list isn’t there?

Would he come for 10 bob a week and a portion of chips?
He might if you included a fish (not cod-too expensive) and guaranteed they were from Grimsby not Scunny.
He’s settled in the area so we could be his best/only option unless he’s happy to drop several divisions. Surely we’re still paying more than Cleethorpes and Barton.Not sure where Wilson will fit if he gets in but surely Shrimpton is behind Beestin, Gallimore, Cribb & Moore-Billam in CM. Then when we sign the 2 new CMs, which we obviously will, he’ll be even further down the pecking order and unlikely to get a game.
According to twitter were after a striker who’s been plying his trade in national league and has scored a mind blowing 13 goals in 7, yes SEVEN season’s at that level.
I don’t do Twitter WG, only the SUFC one on the off chance there’s something on there that’s not restaurant or season ticket based. Where should I be looking for the more interesting stuff that you find?
Saw Deere at Walsall circa 68 where he played left wing (left midfield for our younger viewers) Took my mate, a Manc., to see our star player, Dave Sloan, only to find we’d sold him and replaced him with George Kerr.
I’d rather judge on ability.
With the exclusion of football club chairmen.

Worth every penny though!
Sounds like you’ve had too many doubles already.

In a list of necessary signings for next season an 18yo keeper shouldn’t be in the top 50. My pessimism will deepen further if this proves correct.

A respected sauce mick.

If it takes £5k per week to bag Wootton then I fear our team of players on less than £1k pw will struggle to compete.
Those that can’t get anything else and that’s what we’ll end up with.

Yeah. I passed my test with QP.
Only last week, I was trying to recall the name of the trainer I had.
Came from Epworth, I think. A pal of my Dad, in fact.
Brain quietly disintegrating, here.Dave Coggan?
It’s all about opinions, based on my record with Mrs CT I’d say yours is more likely to be correct.

I’ve thanked your post les because I agree with you 85%. (Approx.)
I can’t go along with:-“Secondly, I think he did precisely the right thing trying to use ‘dead season time’ to blood loadsa youngsters and let ’em experience what it’s really like at the sharp end”
IMO it was too many at once and clearly, for some, much too soon. I fear some may never recover.
So it seems that appearance rather than ability is the chief scouts priority?

Both better than Pugh.

“Pugh & Wilson are the best young players we’ve got yet ones been released and the other is almost never mentioned”Not even close IMO. I have no great hopes that any of our youngsters seen so far will make the grade (and, yes, I hope I’m wrong) but Pugh was well down the list in terms of ability and Wilson didn’t stand out at Scarborough. Lewis & Moore-Billam look most likely to me.
Not likely to get any info. from the club mick, unless he sells season tickets or runs the restaurant.

1 & 3 don’t fit together Daz, and we’ve signed Boyce. 18 senior players would be a massive improvement on where we are now.

signings
And the tosser who signed them!
Could be still here?

Let’s hope we sign some average players, they’ll be better than plenty of last seasons who can only dream of being average.
