Please could admin make a thread (possibly sticky) for anyone wishing to name players that 'could do a job for us'. Will save wading through several various threads on players.
T.V.M.


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

TVM? Didn't know he was available.

If we can get him in, maybe RVP might join too and with LVG as assistant to PH, we're in business.

Aaron O'Connor released by Newport, always liked him, strong and powerful. From Nottingham

31 now though and that doesnt really fit in with PH's signing policy

Alfie Potter not a bad player, Lee Minishull also been released could be worth a look, Rhys Oates maybe his fitness levels have been a issue in the pro game maybe a year deal to see what he can do with a full pre season. Wes Fletcher a good striker at this level would get you goals.

Fletcher and Potter good shouts! Wasn't that Lee Minishull linked with Town a couple of years ago? Newports promotion season maybe?

Tom Naylor has been released by Derby, was on loan with us towards the back end of the 2012/13 season. Probably wouldn't want to drop 2 divisions though.

Tom Naylor.

Possibly the most overhyped overrated player ive seen in recent years.

I thought he was average for us and didn't get the big deal with him at all.

James Norwood (FGR) had been mentioned on another thread but he has signed for Tranmere. Personally not bothered in the slightest

Tom naylor was a bit over rated by Mansfield, but they voted Gary Silk has one of their best ever RBs so maybe Naylor was a bit overated he's had quite a lot of loans clubs reminds me a bit of a player like Connor Townsend and Jamie Devitt with the amount of loans they have had in their short career.

But i think Connor Townsend the best out the three.

I would take Tom Naylor back here, but i think he will go back to Mansfield.

Silk looked like he knew what he was doing but was just sooo sloooow.

Naylor showed some good touches at times but never seemed strong enough on the few occasions he played in defence and rarely looked any better than his non-league opponents when playing in the middle of the park.

Not at all a surprise that he hasn't made any impact at Derby in the years since then and I can't say I'd be particularly interested in signing him.

Was never that impressed by him, if we are either in League 2 or still trying to get out of this Godforsaken league then we need better than him.

Matt McClure could be worth a one year deal got a decent record at Wycombe could be a extra forward to have a look at.

Is Ben Tomlinson worth a look at? Also its inevitable someone will mention the return of Bradley Wood before too long, had a very good season at Alfeton by all accounts.

Dean Keates also saved Disley from getting sent-off in the FAT final.  He got up after a very hard tackle and spoke up for Disley to the ref.   As reported anyway.

What is Nathan Pond doing these days? Any chance for us at all? On loan, maybe?

Just signed a new contract at Fleetwood. I don't think we'll need him if Pearson, Toto and Gowling sign.

I hope Hursty isn't going to act on all this advice or we are going to end up with a squad of about 72 next season.

I think a few of the bigger teams in our league will be after Halifax Midfielder Lois Maynard, in the last 26 games he banged in 12 goals.

A deal to join Cambridge in League 2 last season fell through at the last minute.

Barnet have signed Tom Champion and Ben Tomlinson so they're out! Not sure if Champion was suggested but Tomlinson was wanted by a few!

Cant see Ryan Bird going any further North than Cambridge


Christ you all wanted him sacked a few months ago. 6th place finish and he's now the messiah and can do no wrong  
Update:  I think I've got this right - He was the messiah. He then wasn't. He then was again. Then it turned out he actually wasnt. He turned into one big huge messiah again. Now he's not actually the messiah we thought he was . Now I'm hoping he rises again quickly
