I didn't think Jim Barron was awful TBH, and Mark Jones was a classy midfielder in Div 4, the rest though....pretty crap.
Jones came when we got promoted... I liked him, bit pissed off when he got a red at Bormuff, against Arry's Cherries, probably cost us the game. |

Bet you weren't saying that about Ricketts when he nodded that one in at Bramall Lane.
I was right behind the goal and went mental. I can be as much of a hypocrite as any other football fan. |

More than enough for me. There's plenty of players out there, don't need to sign anyone who ever wore the yellow. The only one I can remember not being total shit was Mark Jones. Bumchum, Holmes, Ricketts all total shite.
Can't imagine that ever entered Flitcroft's mind when signing him - or was even aware. I spit on our rivals like most, but his previous is a long time ago as Reg says. Vale fans say he is surprisingly technical and good going forward but slow and prone to fannying around at the back. Seen enough of that, thank you. |

Another CB. That's that position sorted.
All a bit un-Swindon like. I think I've got a touch of the vapours (not turning Japanese, either).

We seem to be building a competent L2 outfit.
Just need a little 'oomph' now.

I guess the plan is to put solid defensive foundations in place then build from there. A sound philosophy. Feels like we've got too many defenders now though  |

Likes a red card, this fella.
So long as it's not for petulance or giving needless penalties away and gets stuck in, I can forgive him that. Quiet optimism now transfers are arriving, get a poacher in and I'll consider a good wager on Flitcroft delivering silverware. |

So from memory we have in the Gk and defensive positions:
GK - Vigs
CB - Lancashire, Robertson, Conroy, (Thomas)
LB - Brophy
RB - Purkiss
Getting there for sure. Pretty experienced heads there also.

Unless I have forgotten some players. I think the young lad Evans is a RB as well perhaps. |
