Near enough every player we have bought in were not offered a contract at there previous club..

I know turnover is high and I know players move on but I don't think we have signed a player were he turned down a new deal to come to us , I know we might not have the big bucks and some might use the old chestnut about location but I get the feeling we ain't really bought any one in apart from dembele who a club in our league would particularly want.

Mostly other teams cast offs.


If they aren't that good, why sign them?

We have lost a couple of very good players that RS clearly didn't want to keep and both of them would have done a far better job than a couple of the clowns on Saturday.

My guess would be he's talking about Disley  and Pearson, but I stand to be corrected.

Andrew is a loss but we wanted to keep him and was clearly far too good for this level and Clarke doesn't look a sutiable replacement for Pearson.


I've wasted my life in black and white, a pathetic act for a worthless cause

Correct, after watching Clarke's display on Saturday he is not a patch on Pearson.

As for Disley, I felt his best was behind him and it was probably right he moved on but after witnessing a dreadful performance by Kelly and Rose I would still have him in the team.

Clarke was excellent at Chesterfield.

Disley's days have gone, struggling for form in Conference North.

Still think we will be fine and finish top 10. The league is inconsistent, not just us.  Hope i am right

People need to realise that Disley and Pearson are not Town players now.  It's pointless bringing them up on almost every post, they were both only wanted by non-league clubs and that's where they chose to go.  Three games in and 'doom and gloom' already, typical of some Fishy posters!

You obviously didn't go to Stevenage then?
