The Squad List (2024/25 Edition)

[Kinky Tom]

I'm with you, I was questioning the poster who said there were clear divisions as I've seen absolutely nothing to suggest that myself.

It was clear from socials that the team spirit was great last season with a very new squad, just can't see that the players already involved wouldn't integrate the newcomers.

Have seen Williams and Darcy integrating, McKirdy with Hutton etc. Doesn't look that bad, but I may not be as ITK as some clearly!

I'm Total Klutz?

First post updated. Squad is pretty huge now - 28 not including Lyden, Parsons (loan) or any of the youth teamers. Need a few loan outs.

National League and below can carry on loaning players with no deadline so I expect a couple fo go out on loan.

minturn -> Gloucester City (loan, obvs)

Not in their match day squad today must have been completed too late, he looked decent in DMC on Tuesday TBF.

Might go and watch a few games when I get a chance as nearby. Strange choice though, they play on a 4G pitch so not where I’d personally want to send players on loan but guessing we have limited options.

We have a "good working relationship" with Gloucester City so expect more loans in the future to them.

Where do Gloucester play these days.

Back at Hempsted at Meadow Park. It’s a good 4G pitch but still completely different to grass.

Cheers theskson. I haven't followed them since they left their old ground but vaguely remember them playing at Cirencester for a while.

They are back at there old ground now but very little remains, they’ve built a stadium out of shipping containers.

was mentioned by Sandro. Don't know if it's actually gone through yet

I’ve seen a few people on here and on Twitter saying that this squad is good enough to be challenging for promotion, which I’ve taken to mean is on par with last year. Is that true?? Comparing with the XI involved in the run in last year….

Goalkeeper - Bryn is better than Ward. We’re stronger here

Centre Back - not sure i see much to suggest McDonald is an improvement on what we had last year, albeit I like the look of Clayton. Will call this a draw

Full Back - Egbo was better than hutton. FBT is essentially a left footed Rob Hunt. We were better here last year

Midfield - Khan isn’t anywhere near as good as Payne. None of the carryovers look to have improved much. We were better here last year

Forwards - shade isn’t as good as McKirdy. Wakeling isn’t as effective as Davison in the middle, but he contributes more than Barry did. Adeloye doesn’t exist. We were better last year - even if jephcot performs to expectations I’ve not seen much of the wider cast to suggest an overall improvement on 21/22

Based on first impressions, not writing players off and think they can improve blah blah blah before anyone gets too annoyed.
