I wouldn't have thought some of those players would be available (e.g. Crankshaw, Quigley) - Newby will be.

My logic is probably doing 2+2 and getting 5 given the lie of our friendlies, however Newby on loan plus the lad up front from Stoke U23s, Goodwin, would complete our recruitment.

Ah, I've just seen Goodwin joined Torquay a few days ago. Shame.

Déjà vu this afternoon.

County were simply far too good for us (as you would expect) and that match could easily have finished with us conceding four or five goals.

Brockbank experienced a torrid afternoon but, in mitigation, he won't face many wingers who are as talented and swift as Southam-Hales in our league.

I thought that Lundstram was probably our best performer and, on the plus side, Byrne certainly looked the part during the second half. He produced one fine point-blank save from an attempt by Wootton and looks to have a prodigious kick in his left foot.

Alas, none of the trialists managed to make any positive impression whatsoever. I was hoping for so much more from Gribbin throughout that first half but he just never got into the game.

My abiding concern remains exactly where our goals are going to come from. Hulme cut an isolated figure in the opening 45 minutes and we only mustered one shot on target all afternoon - and that was a rather tame effort from Dinanga.

No teamsheet either, which is a poor show.

The highlight was the attendance figure.
 

I agree about the lack of a team sheet being frustrating especially as fans haven’t a clue who half the players are. Going FT isnt all about the players. The attention to detail on the administration side & the off field maintainance of the club also needs to be on the ball. 

I’ve said it from the start. For this to work it needs to be run like a well oiled machine.

Would Adam Rooney, if we could afford him, be worth a punt? Looks to be without a club after leaving Solihull

Was being paid £4k p/w at Salford and not much less than that at Solihull. Well out of our reach, surely.

Thought as much but to be without a club 12 days before the season, we might be able to offer a short term option.. Straws. Grasping.

Screams out Fylde to me, that does.

I see Danny Elliott ended up going to Boreham Wood - surely they can't have much more of a budget than we do, but I assume they're bankrolled on those attendances...?

That FA Cup run last season would have boosted their bank balance significantly.

We could transpose them Mooney sing fairly easily I suppose

Arsenal Ladies and youth use the ground and it earns them a mint, I think…

The owner supplies props to the movie industry, he's wedged I would guess. So bank rolled to a large degree.
