New signing incoming...

[south247]

We do need an goalkeeper as Oxley look pretty much ****ed if I was honest.

Perhaps we should play rush goalie, or maybe Rush in goal. Can't be any worse.

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

we are now in negotiations with four further players at this moment

So Akinola to replace Humprhys is an open secret and then my guess is Grant Smith to replace Oxley (free transfer to return up North); Shilow Tracey to replace Miles Mitchell-Nelson (loan) and ???

There was talk of us having an interest in the Weymouth midfielder, their captain? Jake McCarthy?

It would possibly be fiscally prudent for him to stay put.

And a lot less stressful.

I’ve heard a CB might be one

Incoming or outgoing?

The key for this season is to build from the back. A strong defence means less goals conceded and clean sheets builds confidence. It only takes one goal to win a game, we don't need hatfuls of goals we just need to stop the avalanche of goals in our own net. Add some steel in midfield, i.e. McCormack and we might be able to stay in games and keep it tight.

As much as I would like to see beautiful one touch football I would happily sacrifice it for average football if it means survival.

What would help the defence most is someone who can hold the ball up and relieve the pressure.

Without a targetman we need to play one touch football otherwise the ball is coming straight back.

Yes, I would like to have a Corr or Fortune type upfront. Maybe Akinola can offer this?

From what I have seen of Akinola in the past, he's really not that type of player.

Incoming. And I’m not referring to McCormack either.

 

[Shrimpet steve]

Don't players have to have passed a covid test to get into B&L?

Also, aren't signings done at Roots Hall rather than B&L?

Sounds to me like we are waiting for League clearance.

Stop being negative lol

Any clues?

Genuinely no idea mate. CB is all I heard

 

[Andy_S]

Everything seemed to suggest that if we were to make four additional signings then they would be McCarthy, Akinola, Tracey and Smith. So if McCormack and a centre half are actually two of them, then who do they replace in the original probabilities I wonder?

as much as I'd love it, cant see McCarthy being one now. We'd have to pay a fee youd assume and he'd be mental to come here lol

Unless there is a clause in McCarthy's contract that does not demand compensation if he gets an offer to play League football.
