Shaun Jeffers has just left Brackley, he's a striker. Anyone know any more about him?
Yes lots he grew up in Oakley and his parents still live there, he’s 27 went to Bedford Modern school and was at Coventry as a youngster. Has played for a couple of league clubs and various Step 1 & 2 sides. He came on as a sub for Telford at Goodison in the FA Cup a few years back but the most important fact is, we can’t afford him.

What about his star sign and shoe size Brownie?

Great news about Collard, although he could still leave if someone makes a good enough offer to him and the club, but at least we can now get a fee for him. Hopefully we can also get Reynolds onto a contract.
I have not given up hope of Fairlamb coming on loan.
I think with our budget we are going to have difficulty signing any "big" names, but I am confident Peaksy and co will find some decent players for us and maybe we will be able to introduce some from our Under 21's and 18''s

The news about Fairlamb yesterday was a blow as I had hoped we'd be able to get him back, but that blow was softened today by hearing that Collard had signed a contract with the club. Fantastic news!

Provided we can keep the other members of the back 5 then I'd say that area of the pitch is sorted. It's the other end that we've got a problem!

I would not rule out Fairlamb completely. If he continues as an impact sub he may prefer to come to us on loan.. it really depends on if he can prove to Wilkins that he is worth a regular place.

I had a chuckle to myself after the last game of the season when we got promoted when he said to a couple of us at the bar that he thought he was good enough to play at the level above. I don't think he was wrong to take the chance but I can't say my opinion has been changed and I honestly don't think he'd be a stand out player other than the fact that we don't have many other options in wide positions.

Personally, I wouldn't be affected adversely if he rejoined nor be distraught if he didn't, he wouldn't be that much of a difference maker at this level and his distinctly average goalscoring record in our promotion season supports that quite well I think.
Everywhere we go....
