Surely can't be another defender or midfielder?
You'd expect it to be a striker.

I'd HOPE it would be a striker. I'm fresh out of expectancy.

Is this what I've got to look forward to in the next three years? 😂😂😂😂

I'm afraid the level of pessimism is directly proportional to one's age.

Most likely a keeper judging by form  :o

I'm fuming. Set the alarm for 5 this morning and still no word.

Would love it to be Josh Lundstram.

He has been on the bench for Crewe just lately.

Kyle Ferguson on a short-term deal.

Certainly bolstered the defence in the last few weeks. Hopefully we can now stop leaking goals.
A big strapping Jock… Ideal.

So we're planning to play 5 or 6 at the back then??!

Seriously, I'm beginning to lose track of the squad now.
Which loanees are still with us (and for how long) and which have gone?
What's the score with Hampson?
Are the ones we've sent out on loan gone until the end of their contracts (ie not coming back)?

Be interesting to see if this season we've exceeded the number of players appearing during the Young tenure.

So……

Defenders:-

Densmore
Morgan
Perritt
Hampson
White
Jones
Mudimu
Hanighan
Mullarkey
Cooper
Ferguson
Digie - Out on loan
Sutton - Out on loan
Hall - Out on loan

He’s had some backing has Parky

Seems strange to me how some of the signings like Mudimu slip by unnoticed until he appears on the teamsheet and others like this one are made big announcements

I think they call it the scattergun approach

I wouldn’t be surprised if Hampton and Hannigan will be long term absentees.

I wouldn’t mind seeing Dens and White as fullbacks.

As for the centre backs then it has to be Toby plus one other, Mudimu seems ok . The new bloke Ferguson is a big tall lad which would give us some much needed height and presence in the team.

One common theme amongst the new players is that all seem to be well over six feet tall and with a bit of pace. Wonder if Parky's expecting us to face a lot of hoofball between now and the end of the season?

That,  and an eye on next season maybe

The recruitment strategy has all become rather perplexing. 

With the recent departure of Peers and the unfortunate injury to Conn-Clarke respectively, I was rather hoping that we would increase our options in attack.

It's almost as if we are already holding public trials for next season.

Welcome and good luck.

There's certainly a massive imbalance in the squad.

Title: Re: New Signing Announcement..
Post by: Saughall Robin on February 25, 2022, 08:50:59 PM
That's probably not too far from it.
Especially if we plan to go at least hybrid, quite a number of our defenders have jobs they'd be reluctant to leave as proven in the last close season.

PS. I think I deserve a phantom Goodwin for refraining from making a flippant riposte to the 'public trials' thingummy 😎

Post by: Alty Bri on February 25, 2022, 09:18:01 PM
It is absolutely a case of us holding informal trials for next season. I just hope that at least a draw tomorrow will effectively take us 4 games clear of Weymouth and keep us up.

We try to announce each signing with a website article & interview, Seth, however this isn't always practical. as in the case of Alec Mudimu, who had been training with us & was signed & drafted into the squad at the last minute for the trip to King's Lynn.

Is there a reason he's missing today?
