Welcome to Alty. Sounds like a decent player.

Jones or Harrison won't be signing I guess

Think your right.. I wouldn't have thought we needed another CB if the others had all been retained

I think we need 4 centre backs, if one of them can cover full back.

Sounds promising and very positive he can play in several positions.

I have a feeling Harrison will move on to play regular.

I rate Harrison but feel Hannigan and Jones are more suitable at this level.

Has anyone thought hang on we may well be going three at the back ? maybe we need the 4th cb

I'll be gutted if Harrison leaves.

Three at the back would be interesting, for sure.

Not a dig but why would we change the way we play?

Yes we need a plan B but for me we start the same formation as last year.

3 decent signings and we can compete for top prize.

We desperately need a couple of quick wide players. I would love to see Hemmings but I think he may still have a year on his contract.

Teams will be ready for us this season we need to change/have options and we have the players to do it plus we need to drastically improve our defence from last year but still keep the attacking threat .

Defence is an area that concerns me. Yes, we did have injuries at full back and I think we all rate all our defenders, but we still managed to let in too many goals last season compared to the teams around us.

Is it the keeper, the system we play or just bad luck?

Totally agree - but I think the damage had probably already been done by then stats-wise.

Nothing against TT - however a top-class keeper for this level like Hinchcliffe at Stockport would be worth another 10 points a season at least. We've got to be ruthless, otherwise we'll never push forward.

Drench signed on an 18 month contract, I guess we will have TT as well next season.

Heard on the grapevine that Elliot may have been released. That’s a shame in my opinion...very talented young keeper who seemed to fit in well. We were never going to keep all 3... but I’m saddened that it looks like he may be on his way out. Hopefully he’ll get himself a good move.
