Our Cathedral City Imp fan friends are panicking like mad.
Three good players gone and only 1 in so far.
In a squad that was already the smallest lightweight squad in League 2 where the need was to sign a further 4-5 players.
They now only have 17 players which includes three keepers and one or or two that are out on loan including Callum Howe at Easleigh.

Many of their fans are scared witless and hoping that the Cowleys have got something up their sleeves to bring in a shed load of quality players, capable of mounting a promotion push in League 2. But the common consensus is that they now need 7-8 new quality players, which is a very difficult ask during the January window.

Others are suggesting that the need to get 7-8 new players in is like virtually a complete rebuild of the squad.

Lots of suggestion that the Cowleys may have been naive in not getting enough through the door in the summer rebuild and relying too much on loan signings.

One thing is for certain, they have got a massive job to do now in January in order  to sustain their position and get over the line.

Will be interesting to watch

Let's hope it all goes pear shaped.


When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”

No-one is arsed tbh. Well done them for turning round a club in deep decline into one looking at a second consecutive promotion. With a progressive modern, management team. With millions in the bank. How on earth have we been allowed to become the third ranked team in Lincolnshire?
