    Some of them look ridiculous.

     

    They can't half play though.

     

    Only game in the world that you can be 5 goals up/down with 5 minutes to go and still not feel confident of the result.

     

    It's brilliant and gut wrenching at the same time and the only thing truly good about Australia. 

     

    Except maybe Margot Robbie and Caitlin in the office.

     

     

    Actually sounds like watching Oldham, '87 to '94. What a trip that was.

    Sticks in the craw a bit this one.  I know a footballer's career is short and he's got to follow the money etc, but he's not even been offered a contract and has to have a trial??

     

    Could've stayed here, become a semi-legend if he'd helped us get up and then got a better deal elsewhere after proving himself.  Hope he enjoys his relegation battle...if even Orient decide to offer him a deal.

    It's a strange one. I thought he must have a club lined up. Bit of a gamble on his part. He's never put roots down. Journeyman.

     

    That said, if he does sign for them, then it's third division football as opposed to fifth.

    Depth as well, which is something we've lacked for a long time. It's an actual squad of players, not just a bunch of journeymen hastily thrown together

     

    Already feeling nostalgic for the endless lists of trialists on the team sheets, guessing who they might be, are they any good, are they trying to squeeze one more season even though they are knackered and injury prone, will they or won't they sign. The stellar signings promised by BO.  

     

    Damn this new, organised structured approach, signing good players well in advance of the start of the season. Rhino has taken the fun out of pre-season. I've not felt this positive for many years.

    Perhaps we're giving Dallas agent a nudge. Sign or we look elsewhere.

    Either that or we've done the budget on Raglan and are looking at Simoes as a pacy left wing alternative who might do okay at this level. Did alright at Barnsley but a bit hit and miss since.

    Another 23 yo. Clear pattern to most transfers this time. Reminds me a bit of Kewell's time with us. Young enough to be hungry to advance their careers, but with a sprinkling of experience. 

  5. Some people are very confident that he's signed. IF he has, then we have a very exciting attacking line-up, with options:

     

                                Willoughby/Reid

     

    Ward/Tollitt          Nuttall/Fondop.      Dallas/Green

     

                        Lundstron/Sheron   Shelton/Gardner

     

    Kitching/Couto  Hogan/Oil tanker  Hobson/Sutton  AN Other

     

                                          Norman/Hudson

     

     

    Just need a RB (or two) and a CB (with McGahey leaving at some point).

     

    This is starting to look really, really good.
