Still time to get a few players in, I think we need 3 great signings if I'm being honest. Losing Hoban was a massive blow as an attacking threat. Decent striker and 2 wingers a must if we are to do well. Defensively we are strong and centre mid is good when everyone is fit, would think Bunts and Curtis will be the 2. At the moment mid table, a couple of good signings play offs.

really worried about the midfield ,so far weve been outbossed ,,,no real leader...although bunts is a great leader (hasnt featured much in preseason), it worries me on his fitness to stay the distance,,we defo need a quigs type player,,,my other concern is the strike force,,,,ive no doubt theyll score goals,but they are all of a simular vein....all strong and powerfull .....so basicaly we just launch it forward and hope they can get on the end of it,we need a fox in the box type of player ,someone who feeds off scraps(jason turner esque),,,,,,,as for jake,,,,i cannot believe after all his years of playing he hasnt worked on his right foot,,,,soo many times ive seen him with a scoring oppertunity on the right only for him to turn round ,to get it on his left,get tackeled,and loose the ball.....hed score another ten goals...anyway,,,bring on the new season

Four more sign. I knew that evangelinos would sign as nobody else who's been involved in previous season could play wide left.

Yeah, Ross Oulton. He's been playing at Step 3 with Leamington and appears to be a wide midfielder that likes to drift inside. Exactly the sort of player we needed.
They say we've lost our money we're not famous anymore.....

I'd imagine one of those players in discussion would be Bradshaw. Looks unlikely that wreh will sign with five strikers in the squad

Yep, Bradshaw signs
Aidan played right back for Thrapston Town against us in our first league match back in August 2012.

I note that Luke Hipwell played for Wisbech in the FA Cup on Saturday - and hence is cup-tied for them.
