Is anyone starting to get nervous

[caytonmiller]

First pre season tonight Vs park gate and we are imo 5 players short.
MH wants to play with wingback which implies using 3 CB.
ATM We have
2 keepers.
2 fullbacks
2 cb (1 injured)
2 wingers (both only played a handful of league games)
4 CM.
5 strikers. (4 have forgotten how to score)
Which makes 18 players
Plus a handful of 18 year olds or younger.

ATM we don't have a team to play 3 cb and wingbacks so what will hamshaw do?

Our best cm who pulls the strings is our only LF midfielder.
We have 3 senior defenders. So wouldn't be surprised if one of those picks up a injury this pre season.
It's looking desperate boys n girls.

I think it?s pretty clear now that the old ?only sign players better than what we have? option is gone, unless you apply it as anyone is better than an empty shirt. We will imo most likely end up with a rush of out of contract players that otherwise face unemployment in order to field a team come August. A bit like the mid 90?s all over again.

I wonder if there will be a few ?trialists? on display tonight?

Cayton, Speaking to someone very important at the club the other night, he said the issue is, 'We need a cash injection it's as simple as that'.

Boy is he not wrong and now we hear from the forum minutes that TS is open to investment. Why has he held off any offer of a cash injection all these years? There has been offers.

MH he's in the Warney mould. Needs to man up more than that. How can we play with wing-backs when we're struggling to sign more of what we need in other areas of the side. Rafferty James are full backs nothing else. Get the heart of the side sorted 1st at centre back holding midfielder big forward.

Yeah mate Know who you were talking too.
I'm also a bit concerned about TS statement regarding cash investment though can't help thinking we're in a SIM position to wednesday. No salabl assets, no stadium also we have no training ground.

Don't be surprised if one of the two Rafferty/James are used as one of the back 3. (Possibly both with Jules)

No chance especially James he's not the strongest of players.

need to retain L1 status until inward investment arrives - which can be a protracted process

Pipppy there?s allegedly 2 trialists tonight quite what MH will learn against Parkgate I don?t know maybe Parkgate will have a few decent players we can sign!
