Title: Squad
Post by: robininstockport on November 02, 2008, 08:39:29 AM
Coburn will out for at least two week's, Street out for season and Denham has little vision in one eye. Add the fact that Waterfall can't paly in the FA cup there's going to be more space on our bench on Saturday than Histon's ground on a good day.

Don't want to sound negative but we could go out of three cup's in 10 day's. We really are very thin on the ground.

Surprised at waterfall not being allowed: he has only played once for Tranmere.

I know GH is looking for a loan signing, hopefully he can get one who isn't cup-tied/not allowed to play.

Maybe we will register some of the youth team.  Surely some fit bodies are better than gaps on the bench

Well there's no shortage of BSP players unattached or looking to be released by their teams in trouble; depends on how much money GH has left in his budget.

worrying if Denham not near fit, we need more options up front.

Can we not sign some of the ex Northwhich players?

It wouldn't suprise me if GH is already in contact with them, esp. Byrne.

They'll be cup tied as well won't they?

would no one else like to see trev benjamin at alty... heaps of experience and it would be a different option for GH. Would we be able to afford his wages??

This would be just about the worst signing possible.I saw him come on as sub for Northwich in their 2-0 win over Grays & last week's 3-0 defeat against AFC Telford United in the FA Cup.He is incredibly slow & I think that Jimmy Quinn was spot on when he said he was "past his sell by date" when he was at Bournemouth earlier this season.

I'd rather have Floella Benjamin to be honest.  What a waste of space

Have they changed the rules on F.A. Cup eligibility. It used to be a player needed to signed 7 days before the tie. But I noticed  some clubs were signing players on friday to play in the F.A. Cup.

Yes but it gives GH options to rest/rotate - let's be honest if it goes as per the form book we could only have 2 more cup matches left anyway.  Trophy hasn't started has it?
