The rumour...

Quoted from Bigdog

Still a pacy centre half short too imho. Three very similar centre backs as it stands..

I don't disagree. But maybe Hurst is happy with using one of revan, crooked, sears as a pacy CD? They cam play there can't they I think it was mentioned when they signed, especially in a 3. I would rather a specialist speedier CD signed though

I think we have had more than long enough to get the squad together . This dilly dallying is going to cost us dear.. If you have targets and they are what you want just go for it and make offers they dont have to think about , It may sound like thats going to cost but if you have them on 2 yr contracts  you spend less the next season  buy cheap buy twice to stay the same

Quoted from Grantley

You think Longe-King is similar to Pearson/Waterfall?

As opposed to someone like Hewitt, yes. He's a stopper like the other two but more mobile, so similar, but you're right, definitely not the same.

Pearson and Waterfall are both slow and prone to giving far too many free kicks away, Personally I'm not a fan of either, but if Hurst wanted SP back, I'd be ok with that if he'd let Waterfall go..Those two making up two thirds of our centre back offering gives me the shudders..

Agreed, I think we WERE in for a striker and got pipped to the post. Pretty certain that the next signing will be soooo underwhelming too.

Mid table at best - hope to be proved wrong!

Yeah the Boreham wood training ground teaser when we signed Pearson, the persistent rumours and the no. 9 shirt being kept free would suggest we were in for him. Bitterly disappointing.

Being an also ran playoff contender (I.e below 3rd) probavly looks like our best hope now. I assume we wouldn't be in the business of paying a fee for cheeke. Unless Hurst pulls an amond type rabbit out the hat fingers crossed

lmao i'm v sceptical about the size of our supposedly competitive budget if we couldn't beat Chesterfield to signing Tshimanga (who last time i checked barely have a pot to urine in). better hope hurst's got an unheard of prem / championship youth team striking gem up his sleeve on loan then i guess

Ffs let’s hope the phones still ringing !!!

They furloughed players last season when the season restarted in the March for NL Clubs, and then bought Danny Rowe

At least we’ve got sprinklers.

But seriously, this shows how far we’ve dropped. I think many have underestimated the task in front of us.

I am not obviously going to name my contact but it was suggested to me that our players budget may not be the size some on here were expecting.

There is deffo something wrong if we cannot out bid Chesterfield ,  I know we have got some good players in  but not whats going to get us out of this league so far. A lot of good things are happining around the ground but to the average fan its what is on the field that counts.. and a lot of fans have put there hands in there pockets thinking that we are going for it  and will be very disapointed and feel let down
