Maybe Neil Alexander has been registered as temporary back up? Expand We will have Ox and Matty Connelly - I'd expect a trialist will be there or somebody will sign this week and join up with the squad.

StAndrew7 Posted June 24, 2024 Report Share Posted June 24, 2024 Happy with that one; 6' 3" and all we really need to ask of him is to win headers and get the ball to fuck so that's perfect. Essentially the Bevis role without the added Bevis shenanigans. St J fan on P&B says he played his best football centrally in a 3, so that's ideal. Next; a keeper, LWB x2 (one of those will probably be a loan) and I'll be upgrading from pleased to very pleased with out business. Also, at this point last year, we'd only signed Obika (cc @capt_oats on P&B for that). Kudos to getting the business done early to Ketts / Dawes / Caldwell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllyMax Posted June 24, 2024 Report Share Posted June 24, 2024 What has happened to this forum ? Several posters happy with a signing ? This can't last.

Maybe another striker if Theo moves on. Expand I actually think we're probably OK on the striker front even if Bair does go; Robinson, Moses and Stuparevic vying for what's effectively one spot (although I can see the latter playing as a 10, akin to Vale) should be OK, although a bad injury and I'd agree we might be in a spot of bother but do have Ferrie, too. Priority is absolutely the LWB and GK slots, now. Maybe a few Terrance Rialists during the pre-season tour. Was it @steelboy who mentioned Randolph is out of contract?
