Probably a trialist. Rightly or wrongly they never really fill me with confidence when we do this. All a bit flat so far this summer so hoping it's someone who will make the hair on the back of your neck stand up!

There will be another new face tomorrow,

Luna will be attending her 1st home game after going to Colchester and Cambridge she is hooked,

We are making the long horrible journey from Suffolk tomorrow because she has never stopped asking me,

"When are we going to a home game granddad ?"

Strange to bring her to a pre season friendly with an attendance of around1500?

You don't have to justify taking your granddaughter to a pre season friendly to this bunch Pete. Hope you have a fantastic day out and enjoy the fish and chips.

If yussuf does get shown the door then I honestly dont know what to think .

He has looked so sharp in pre season and we are thin on strikers as it is.

We better have two strikers lined up and I mean quality strikers coming in if this is the case not two lads on trial  on the cheap.

What has happened to Russell slade having all these contacts in the game because all we seem to be doing is having trialists and young lads in hoping to come across something and tbh nearly all of them have been average and I'm sorry but as things stand right now fentys statement of intent on league two looks a bit daft.

honestly not one for rumours but I was at the Winterton game and management were sat directly behind me and my kids, my son heard a very senior person having a conversation about signing an attacking midfielder from a league 1 side, so that could be it. I don't want to say who said it about who because it could possibly jeopardise a transfer

I was watching an old film as I had nothing to do with it raining  "Seance on a wet afternoon " seemed appropriate so I sat in anticipation. As soon as it started  there was an almighty flash of lightening and the screen went black,but etched on the screen was a name but I couldn't quite read it. Another flash of lightening brought the screen back on and I was able to continue watching. All the people round the table were holding hands and chanting a date--17  October  1996--17  October  1996.  I have no idea what this date means-perhaps somebody on the Fishy could help ?

IF it is to be Tyler Walker I hope we give him a bit of time and remember he is only 20. Been reading the Forest message boards and they seem to think he is a long way off their side as he lacks any sort of strength and lacks a trick.

Time will tell but I hope he isn't burdened with a huge weight of expectation

Quoted from Cloudy
IF it is to be Tyler Walker I hope we give him a bit of time and remember he is only 20. Been reading the Forest message boards and they seem to think he is a long way off their side as he lacks any sort of strength and lacks a trick.

Time will tell but I hope he isn't burdened with a huge weight of expectation


If true I'm sure PW will sort that side of things out having been there himself.

Lincoln fans who saw him perform against them midweek were very impressed by him so appears to have the potential so lets hope a) he comes in & b) he fulfils thst potential. Would still like a proven goalscorer through the door but accept any club would want the same so we sit, wait and hope!!!

So will it be announced on the pitch just before kick off or has our target changed his mind?

Honestly, it's just pathetic, when you have something to announce, just bloody announce it. We're not ten year olds.

At last we have a left back, good solid signing that gives us a very experienced defence.

Still think we're a quality striker short though, hopefully he'll follow soon.

I think Slade is just about done we have been banging goals in for fun albeit against vastly inferior teams. No point in rushing in wasting money on a so called "Quality striker"  who may not exist at this late stage.

Did the club really build it up though? They posted yesterday that they expect a new face to be here for Wigan. They then dropped a signing tweet about an hour before he signed...that's it isn't it?

It was a telegraph journo that said it was happening yesterday. And it was him who built it up and said we would be happy (though hardly building up).

We've signed a good player, I'm happy.

It was the Telegraph who built this up and a few goons on Twitter plucking names out of a hat added fuel to the fire. The club have done nothing wrong (this time ).


I'm happy with the signing anyway. The one area we didn't have anyone for and we've got ourselves a player who has played a lot of games at a higher level.

Yeah, I agree it was the telegraph building it up. Happy we have made this signing but honestly that new journo at the telegraph needs to learn his craft.

I'm going to allow Mariner09 to make my mind up about this left back as he's proven in the past he's a great judge of that position

We do have a really experienced defence but will the lack of pace come back to haunt us or does experince/positioning negate the need for pace.

Russell's teams generally play very deep too so perhaps our centre half's don't need to be that quick?

Makes sense. We've got a hard start to the season, on paper. The rest will come, I'm sure.

Slade said in his interview on iFollow that there could be a couple of new players to look at on Monday so more trialists.
