Is it just me?
Sturrock wants a squad of 20-22, with competition in all positions.
At the moment we have a squad of 15 (I think).
Taking Akinfenwa as a given, 3 of that squad (Bayo, Ade and Barry Corr) won't be fit for the start of the season.
We have 2 goalkeepers, so that leaves 12 fit players.
I know there's still a few weeks before the beginning of the season, but pre season starts Monday and the Austria trip is 2 weeks away.
I'm sure Sturrock will get us the players we need, I just wish he'd get a move on!!

Good shout Ronnie, I think he irons out all the contract details normally.

The Adver today says this about Akinfenwa: "Sturrock has been informed that the former Torquay United, Leyton Orient and Doncaster Rovers front man could be fit in time for the opening League One clash away to Northampton Town on August 11." |

So this is how it stands at the moment then:
Brezovan
P Smith
J Smith
Ifil
Williams (injured)
Aljofree
Vincent
Nicholas
Zaaboub
Pook
Easton
Peacock
Roberts
Corr (injured)
Akinfenwa (injured)
Sturrock
On the fringe:
Caton
Allen
Probable new signing: Adams
Strong possibilitities:
Blackburn
Coughlan
Folley
Possible possibilty (!!)
Croissant (heh heh!)
I'm assuming that Pook and Sturrock have re-signed or will do shortly. Does anyone know what's happening with Noubissie?
That doesn't look too bad to me though. I like the sound of this Chris 'Jesus' Blackburn. Sounds like the Morecambe fans are distraught at the prospect of him going. By all accounts they played us off the park in the Cup didn't they?
I'm pretty happy about the playing side at the moment to be fair. It's 'The Dark Side' off the pitch that's of more concern to me right now :?

When you put it like that OST it doesn't look bad at all. I think Corr will turn out to be fantastic for us and the signing of "Croissant" would simply be worth it for the entertainment value of his name!  |

I'm hoping Macca is right!
The squad does look stronger than when we went down but I'm still not confident. A couple more decent signings and I think we can be quite confident about staying up at least

Well let's put it this way. How many managers have got all the players they want for the forthcoming campagne by the 7th July???
Yes, that's correct.
None.

Rigley since when did he get promoted to the first team :? His youth stint has ended and has since been given the same opportunity to prove himself as Andy Caton. This was announced ages ago. |

Pook hasn't signed yet, how do we know that he won't be signing for that bigger club, MK Dongs.
