Are we looking at the same signings Poojah? they're all signings from non league  or Scottish lower league.If I were a Scunt I wouldn't be getting very excited by any of them


Apologies, it was meant to say 'unestablished', rather than 'established' (which it now does thanks to a cheeky edit). That was my point; they aren't exciting and are clearly less expensive signings than Scunny would have been looking to make this time last year.

What I think we'll see are younger, less experienced and generally less able players taking up the places of senior pros that clubs can no longer afford. I think the dynamic of League Two will be very different and quite strange next season (and beyond); generally a poorer calibre of players with a smattering of players who have been forced to drop down from League One for the same reason.

Salford and Forest Green will do well out of this, sadly.

I saw him score quite a few goals on Skysports news and he is a real handful; he looks very mobile and obviously has an eye for a goal.



Funny that, they never seem to show any striker missing all the time do they? 🤣

When you are a Scunny fan there is never much to get excited about. This batch of signings is probably as good as it gets.

Do you really believe Mr Swann knows as much about players at level 4 in England as our Ollie?


I doubt the scouts change with each managerial change so he's probably looked down a list of names and chosen a few that he likes.

With the frequency they change manager, I would want to sign as many players myself if I was going in there. If these 5 don't perform, it won't the fault of Mr Swann because it never is!

Gnanduillet has never played for Town. Are you thinking of Oumare Tounkara by any chance?


Oh yes of course... I was convinced we'd had Gnanduillet on loan. I blame Dominic Cummings!!
