Understand the young lad with the afro who played for Swindon in the second half is former Notts County forward Jeremy Balmy #stfc (Matt Edwards via twitter) erm, most recently at Oxford x 2 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeremy_BalmyIt's possible Town fans will warm to him quite quickly....  |

Understood. I'm interested to see where our wage currently falls, in comparison to the rest of league one. It seems (maybe this is just hearsay) that its relatively low for a team considered challenging. I'm not saying break structure, just we ought to be paying more than say Southend, Scunny, Fleetwood etc. (We may well be) Alas we haven't been privvy to any detailed accounts in recent years.
Indeed, we will not know about budgets etc in comparison to other teams for a long time...if ever. I would say that SOuthend and Scunny would have a larger budget than us though judging by the size of squads etc. Scunny especially so with Henderson recently signing for them and they have not been slow in making new signings this season and last, Madden was said to be on good money at Yeovil before his transfer there. Either way though we have to live within whatever budget Power deems right and I would say we are in the bottom quarter of the league budget wise.....we will see. |

.. Fans might warm to him..
Yes. Not suggesting linking a player to Oxford= auto non starter. Just a bit concerned during what was a short term deal they shipped him out to Oxford city. That said, he's only a trialist. No harm looking. |

Scunny have a huge budget and will be challenging top 6, maybe even autos. |

That makes about as much sense as 'I'm feeling good about having piles'. Avoid. |

Yes, clearly Scunny have a bigger budget as they could afford Andy Williams and we can't....our budget is probably comparable to a top ten Div 4 club, certainly < Oxford. Does it matter? Not really, as long as the template produces results. |

Just thinking. If we had the exact team as last season we'd still be twitchy about the defence, the short goal kicks, goalkeeper distribution, individual cock-ups etc.
So, in effect, not much has changed except for a few personnel.
It's the system I tells ya!
