Not sure what he offers to be honest, would think Hurst is looking at bolstering the defence and forward line before looking at midfielders, imo


Well  we need at least 12 tip top players for nl. And as at present our midfield consists of Harry Clifton! Our offensive players numbers 1, the shop.

Incidentally Rhys Murphy is stalling on signing a new contract at Yeovil. Their leading goalscorer and experienced, regular scorer at NL and div 2 level

I'm sure he will be looking to bolster every area of the pitch, including midfield.

What order they arrive in is irrelevant  as long as we have what we need by the start of the season and that will develop as and when players become available I would imagine.

Are you kidding? We've just finished bottom of the football league and the only two midfielders who looked remotely the part, Matete and Coke, currently aren't employed by us and one definitely will not be. We need an entire new squad.

Genuinely perplexed by that comment! u don't think we need midfielders? or that we should wait before signing any midfielders until we've signed defenders and strikers, even though we will need midfielders as well?

Actually pleased to be heading into a pre-season in almost complete ignorance but with a level of assurance from the management that they know what they’re doing.

Didn’t know anything about McKeown, Pearson, Pond, Hearn, Nielson, Nsiala, Thomas, Amond, Nolan, Bogle, Robertson, Disley, Tait, Cook, Hannah, Magnay, Gowling, John Lewis, Menayese, Coke, Palmer, Arnold, Pittman or Matete and they all came in and did a decent enough job for us.

Happy not to bother trawling soccerbase.com or working out goals per game ratios, and just see what happens next year for once.

Why perplexed?....should Coke sign, we have Clifton, Khouri, Spokes, Rose, Williams and Scannell on the books already, look at who have in defence and up front, absolutely light in those areas.

He's exactly the type of player Hurst liked in his first spell, one who has been there and done it in terms of being promoted from the national league.

Quoted from monkeyboy


I see it on face book when the retained list announced. Quite a few different people had said it on there and also some on Twitter


If the rumour is from Facebook then that says it all. I'm much happier to wait and see who Hurst signs than think about what is said on Facebook.

What I do know is that come August we will have a team that will gell, work hard, be full of team spirit, and ability.


You can please some of the forumites some of the time but not all the forumites all of the time

Maybe I shouldn't post whilst under the influence in future..I think I was looking at his stats when I posted initially, thinking more along the lines of "should we not be looking for better quality"?..
