Jatta is interesting. ,he could be this seasons star ,well who knows

I’d say the owners believe that after spending 150k euros on him.

Twitter suggesting the sole trialist tonight is Cundy, assuming we're not looking to sign Kirk then and the other chap we had on trial.

Still think we're a CB, CM AND ST short right now.

We are many players short quite frankly, to be so low on numbers so close to the season is worrying

I'd say the striker is the least pressing need, despite losing Macauley. I'd like to see how the likes of Scott, Jatta and McGoldrick get on before we rush out and sign another forward. It could be that they actually thrive on not having to play second fiddle to Langstaff in the pecking order. All three are good players in my opinion. Sometimes one star has to move out of the way for others to shine. Of course, if the remaining forwards don't pull up trees we've got money in the bank to address the problem, so there's certainly no need to panic.

Similar to what you've said, we're probably one centre half short now, given recent departures, and I think we need a really big, robust defensive midfielder - similar to Bajrami but ideally even stronger. As much as we want to play good football, in this league you need the option of an enforcer, albeit one who can still pass a ball.

Are we? What about Palmer, Robbo, Tsarroulla and McDonald? Several players due back.

I think we could do with a couple more… but not worried about the numbers at this stage.

I would disagree, I think we are very light up front with quite a few questions to be answered. It sounds sensible seeing how what we’ve got get on, but we only have very limited time because after we’ve played 3 league games the transfer window closes. I don’t think 3 games is much of a trial, and if it’s not working or we get a long term injury we have severely limited options.

I still think we need a CB, a battling defensive midfielder, a striker ( maybe young and eager with potential ) and if stone goes a 3rd option between the posts

Also, been no mention of Sanderson , is he injured? Going out on loan, out of favour?
