Good player for us but not played for a year according to Wiki.
Done. One of my favourite charities.
They are planning to play 46 games of football.
Do you mean what are the owner/coo expectations?
Should be a big improvement on last season when we played football in about 4 of the games.

Same one.
I think it must have been something stronger IA.
No one on here has any idea as to the suitability of the trialists.
The 3 of them have been of National League quality or better in the past but all have been deemed not good enough for their previous clubs. That is why they are on trial.
Of the rest I would say any 11 of them as a team are not good enough for the National League. Any 5 or 6 of them put together with 5 or 6 newcomers that have experience of mens professional football, high fitness levels and a positive mindset would make a team good enough to survive and maybe even thrive in the National League.
Let’s not forget there are a dozen slots in the sick bay to fill. Probably 11 given Hallam’s block booking.
GK – Foster
RB – Rowe
RCB – Boyce
LCB – Taft, Young
LB – Ntlhe?, O’MalleyRM – Feeney, Wilson
CM – Beestin, Cribb, Moore-Billam
CM – Whitehouse?, Gallimore, Shrimpton
LM – Bunney?, LewisCF – Nuttall
CF – HallamCribb and the 3 known trialists added on basis they impress.
Trialists added on the basis they will sign for 10 bob a week and their weeks trial as Amazon van drivers is unsuccessful.
It may be better to have a stripped down squad with something resembling real strikers than what we’ve seen in recent years.
I really want eight in – could we manage with six if it were to increase our striking power?Training – Day Five! Signings – ONE!
Come on Lee and Keef. Throw us a bone here!

As we saw most Saturdays last season they don’t often work weekends NI.

If we stopped paying Hallam about £10k per game we could save a bit more.
Most of us are expecting to only spend one season in the National League.

Is the fire still alight?
I think the reason he does it is measured in dirham.
£5m to £7m overvaluation if ground is not included.
Only £3m overvalued if ground and all land included. Net of all outstanding debt cleared of course.
The problem is the owner will take some time to realise property and businesses are worth what a buyer is willing to pay. The sellers valuation is immaterial.

We signed 7 or 8 last summer and look how that worked out.
It’s not how many you sign or the date that you sign them. The clue is in the name. When you sign footballers it’s best to check if they can actually play football.

I think Lesgeo was hoping to have some players in for the start of pre-season. Based on the last 3 or so years very optimistic. The owner was at least pretending to be interested then.
But is his old man still getting the club to pay his pocket money?
That’s every player we signed last summer has now gone!
Chief scout’s still here though.

You forgot young Master Cribb.
That’s the back ups sorted out. When do we start signing the first team?

Saying Foster has league experience is pushing it a bit.
Had one decent game and is probably still having nightmares about the other one.
Remember having a summer job a Brumptoms when I was 14 or 15. One day the supervisor gave a bollocking to the forklift driver. He was about 18 or 19 and fancied himself as a bit of hard man.
Ten minutes later there was a pallet full of Export Shandy on the roof of the supervisors Morris Marina which was about a foot nearer the ground.
Happy days.

Seems the apple didn’t fall far from the tree.
Would be happy to have any 2 from Moore-Billam, Gallimore, Cribb or Shrimpton in the side at any one time. If it’s 3 or 4 of them we will have a problem and it’s unfair on the lads themselves.
Wilson probably needs a season as an impact sub. For Young and Foster it’s more difficult, centre backs and keepers need to be exceptional to hack it as teenagers so should be injury back ups at best. Lewis has shown enough to back up O’Malley at left back/left wing back.
“we don’t want him hes got a pony tail” response to Fox before he signed for Grimsby however.
Fox was the best player on the pitch in all 3 Cods play off games.
Not a foul never mind a second booking but the ref still had a better game than most of the England players.
Not seen anyone so clueless at his job since that fat bloke took up property development.

Saw all 3 playoff games and a couple of the Cods league games and he was decent to good in all of them. Read somewhere from Cods fans that the final pass/shot is what lets him down and there was evidence of that.
Like many players at this level it is the final piece that stops them being Championship or League 1 players and keeps them at this level.
If we have a sqaud the same calibre as last season he would play every game.
Can’t see us signing de Sousa. Would eat up half the player budget putting hi name on his shirt.
