Post by: Danjackson10 on Monday, June 26, 2006, 09:45:08
Pre-season has started, the players have returned and its now time to put in the hard work! Only 6 weeks to the start of the season!

Still, that will make the defence work harder!

We are applying for special dispensation to play "Skelly" next season.

How can they do training without any keepers? Shoot at an empty goal?  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

I'd imagine some of these trialists, providing they're present currently at training, are goalkeepers. And there's Jon Stewart.

this could be a massive chance for stewart!

I doubt it!

Anyway, we need a keeper and fast....infact we need to sign one about 2 weeks ago!

To be fair, we're back in training alot earlier than anyone else! And the ballwork won't start for a while yet, it'll all be about getting fitness levels up at the moment, so jogging gym work etc. Furthermore, most players contracts don't expire 'til the end of the month.... i'm sure there'll be plenty of developments then....

To be honest we need 2 keepers .. one experience and one young one

We need a good experience centre back with a bit of nous

We need 2 good central midfielders (assuming Wisey doesnt play!)

We need 2 good forwards .. one very quick goalscoring machine and a hard working player to cover (someone young tho Caton / Lukas might do this job)

All in all thats 7 more players

Id get Tom Heaton from Man Utd and quick!

But most important of these is the striker ... Ricky Lambert never really seemed the answer .... we are going to have to spend most of our money in this area .. well unless we can get Sam Parkin on loan for a year ! :-))(

IM pretty worried about how long its taken us to sign 2 players /... and then when they arrived they were a crocked left winger when we already have 3 players who could play there already and a duff stiker whom Cambridge didnt want ... worrying!

Stop banging on about Tom Heaton ffs, he wont drop down into League Two.

Because Man Utd don't like it.  They prefer experience to be gained at Championship level normally or they send them out to the club in Belgium.  League 2 just doesn't make it worth it for them, may as well have them in the reserves.

why would they need goalkeepers to do pre-season training at this stage? it's all running and fitness innit.

In recent years I believe it was to ensure no injuries were picked up while our keepers kept bending over to pick the ball out of the net.

I think we should break the bank for the Angolan keeper!

Looks like Charlie was the only one that turned up, presume it's the one on one assessment.

Did they run out of film after Charlie C-Platt finished his running?
