Even if he is not available every week we need him about as much as possible. Parky hopefully is on the mend as if no Hopey on a regular basis need him and Deaks. One of the new boys can also play at the back and has done before, Kingy :roll: :roll: holding out for a signing on fee :lol:
Still think the will be 2/3 more to come in.
And some of those signed on may not actually stay long, especially if they don't get a start!

The three yet to sign are probably the 3 non-contracted players I was most concerned about losing personally.
They say we've lost our money we're not famous anymore.....

Always going to be a problem in any Club, you need cover & a squad of 20+ but if you start well and have no injuries some may go a while waiting for a start. We do have more league games this season and 4 Cup comps so hopefully will be able to keep most players happy ish :!:

With the way things went last season + our support and set up, it will be easier for us to keep squad players than it is for many other teams.

Players will come and go but that`s the way it is, given a choice between 20 happy players and a mid table finish or a few changes in the dressing room during the season a a little bit of silver come next May I know where I stand.

Change is to be expected, think of the player turnover at NP as the club progressed in the early days.
