Must be Dixon i would think

Maybe he's having botox?

just need a good midfielder  and a number 9 now.. leaving it late now

Probably need at least 1 left back...

Will he be a trialist or a new signing ?

Suppose to be a signing today according to twitter highly likely they say we shall see

I wonder if its a new new face or an old new face that has been on trial with us.

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!

Hope its not the Belgian who played at Winterton last night, without being derogatory to him he was crap.

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?

Knowing the club we won't sign anybody and it shall be a false dawn

Apparently nothing happening today, going to happen tommorow instead.

i think international clearance holding it up so expect it to be mustoe or dixon

That makes sense

Quoted from Cloudy

Will be away on holiday for the first league games,

BUT

We will be back soon, she just wanted to go to any game asap  so I gave in,

As usual. :).

They are both British?!?!?

last clubs not in england therefore they require international clearance

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.

just like osborne who's last club was Kilmarnock

Cheers mate but I will have to watch Luna eating hers as I am on a diet awaiting knee surgery.

Liam Wood at the telegraph reckons fans will be happy with the signing.

Wow . Just heard  .... what a signing ...

Did we have a 50k buyback clause on Omar?

Quoted from fleabag1970

Wow . Just heard  .... what a signing ...

Say it then

If we are going to be happy it must be someone we havnt heard of todate - like a Lone striker from a prem club perhaps?

The wording states 'new' face

Nottingham Forest u23s are away at Grantham Town tonight. Be interesting to see if Tyler Walker features or not.

Can it be the long anticipated return of serve makofo, commonly remembered as the non league Messi.

Wonder who it could be ladies and gents?

Hopefully tomorrow will bring long awaited good news to the best fans in the world. Roll on Chesterfield 😎

Paul Wilkinson getting his boots back on?

So the loan striker we want from Forest didn't play?

Not about a new face but just seen someone on social media claiming Yousef has departed? Anyone know if this is true?

Lincoln like signing ex-Mansfield strikers, maybe he's gone there?

Maybe meeting his future management team in Currys then, he was in  there at three o'clock today looking at stereos, dressed in his town training kit.

Sounds like the usual bollox being talked by people that claim they know something that really know shite all

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.

Somebody else saying the king has got no clothes on.

Yussuff leaving for barrow

If we are all frustrated imagine how Slade feels.

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 ?

I have a good feeling in my water about this coming season    :)

I wonder if Jamil Roberts might be offered a deal as a spare left back/left winger.

he looked confident and competent last night for sure

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

So he's as quick as a flash with crisp footwork but not a runner? ;)

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?

Ffs get on with it town

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

Dixon signs. 2 year deal

Dixon

They built it up as something we probably all knew. Solid signing though at LB

Hairs, neck, stand, back of,  not quite,      but sounds from comments a decent player :-/

Solid signing. At least we have a defence now!

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.

Agreed

Solid signing but stop building things up to a whimper ffs.

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.

Vacant number 9 shirt suggests he's not finished just yet

Just a striker needed now

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.

Apparently we have some very interesting names with a good experience at this level but there's no rush

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  ;)

Someone on the bench called 'Bridge', anyone heard anything.

Believe it might be Jack Bridge, 21 ex Southend

Yeah, Jack Bridge and Jamil Roberts on the bench.

Umberto Bridge. From Barton with a Italian mother hence the name.

Pleased with Dixon. We've got a really experienced defence.

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?

Osborne has a bit of pace, so he could become a starter.

Looks like Slade's first priority is to make us hard to beat. Wigan hardly got through us today.

I'll take 23 0-0 away draws and 23 1-0 home wins  ;)

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.
