If so, I’d expect a CB, RB, DM, AM, ST and winger, and then top the squad up with some decent EFL loans. All aboard the #HMSpisstheleague Early days I know but thought we might have heard something if there’s at least six coming in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unsworth said we were well down the line with the players we are hoping to bring in, so would expect it’ll start happening in the next few weeks. He’s banged on about the importance of pre season practically from the moment he got here, so presume he’ll want them all in before training begins, which should be towards the end of June. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBigDog Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 Thursday is June 1st. I think that is when we will hear of our first two signings. Also, I would expect a total of 6 or 7 signings in June, which hopefully will include Yarney and Green. What I do believe is that Unsworth has to get the signings right - whichever players he brings in have to be the right fit for a promotion push.

Yeah, when I say hammer I don’t mean we’ll dominate very session because they’ll fight like hell- I meant at the key times and thus the series result. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty Burns Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 before anybody gets justly upset of this flagrant rule breaching for such a boring sport, if anybody wishes to make further comment then OWTB helpfully provides other such caves to do so. so lve started a thread there if you wish to kill seconds and minutes of the longest summer ever!!

redlion Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 Not many people know this but cricket was actually invented by an immigrant German medic called Professor Borrrin Fokker who created cricket as a cure for insomnia and won a Nobel prize. His great great grandson went on to coach Geoffrey Boycott. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Worcester Owl Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 We need to bring back downvotes. Anyone who finds cricket boring, especially as practised under McCullum and Stokes, needs to give their head a wobble. Bring on the Ashes. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Aussies (and media) are arrogant pricks who think they have already won. They also thought that they would walk the T20 world cup. NSW thought that they would walk Origin 1 last night. Then the mighty QLD happened. They never learn. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
