Nah, he'd be on multiple trials all over the country....

Back to the original topic. Cambridge has to be in a bit of doubt this weekend, surely? A lot of wear and tear on the pitch on Tuesday followed by persistent, heavy rain forecast for today and tomorrow. Would not be at all surprised if it postponed. Just hope they are sensible and do it early if th...

To coin a DC phrase, we are a million miles away from becoming an established League One side. And that's not because of mismanagement, it's because we are fundamentally a small fish in a relatively large pond. Until our incoming increases to the point where we are in financial mid-table, we will a...

RS1978 wrote: ↑07 Feb 2024, 13:19 Any ideas who it is/was?

DC said it would be on non-contract terms, whoever it is / was. I can't recall the last time we had a player on non-contract terms.

Artemis

I'd say progressing from a Southern League club to third tier is good going to be honest. The likes of Rochdale spent 30 years in the same division. Oldham spent 20 at League 1 level before dropping like a stone. Sometimes it's a good thing to take a step back and just appreciate how far we've come...

Artemis

That would be Tony Diaz who I think had a long association with Dorchester Town. Pretty sure we signed him for the last few months of the season to help with the promotion push and he returned to the south coast at the end of the season. Thanks - I looked him up, and here's an article about him. ht...

I have a sense that if we do drop, Sercs will leave us.

Artemis

It looks like 9 wins are now needed from the last 18 matches to realistically have any hope of staying up. That would take us up to 50 points. A few seasons ago even that wasn’t enough and Plymouth were relegated on about 51. The hard truth is that Cheltenham were as good as down after the first 11...

Artemis

we might see a 3 4 3 in some games,.Lloyd and a winger flanking Taylor.

“Another possibility is/was Wes McDonald who did well for DC at Walsall. Played against us wide left when we won 2-1 up there four years ago. He’s currently a free agent.”

I was trying to remember where I'd heard that name recently. Good shout Fuller.

Artemis

Would Darrell take any notice of that? Thankfully not but everyone on here was moaning that we got the dregs and not our first choice targets and I’m glad DC is manager. The query was the length of contract? Yup. Taylor is the proven L1 goalscorer DC said he wanted and that we need, so no criticism...

Artemis

Wes Mcdonald....played for DC at Walsall, recently released by Patrick Thistle.

Quite...although I probably wouldn't have waited until 85 mins...

He'll be found guilty.

Sorry!

Guilty of impersonation...

Artemis

Liam McAllinden is a free agent

Artemis

As he's also on trial, I'm guessing he's a free agent.
I think the registration periods are aligned across UEFA.

true but to be fair to him, our strikers have missed from closer

Yes,.I wouldn't have had confidence in anyway bar Lloyd or sercombe from there.

Artemis

The nagging question I have had in the back of my mind is, we got ourselves in a position to have a chance with escaping the drop, with the squad we had. Did we need the major overhaul we have had? Hold on to Goodwin and maybe a couple extra ....... must dent the confidence of a few who got us to w...

Artemis

if only Curtis has landed that chance from 6 yards out...

Artemis

Because everyone on here said he was shite as he’s not been playing even in League 2…. Would Darrell take any notice of that? Thankfully not but everyone on here was moaning that we got the dregs and not our first choice targets and I’m glad DC is manager. except Taylor was apparently DCs top targe...

Artemis

apart from the unlikely Wickham and the absolutely no chance Gayle, anyone any ideas as to who it might be realistically?

Artemis

"might just" doesn't smack of confidence, more hope over expectation.

Artemis

Midfield definitely looking stronger and we will need legs there. But up front is the real concern which is such a shame as we seemed to be firing all cylinders just a few weeks ago. Think we need to hold fire on what's improvements or weaker until we actually see them on the pitch for a few games....

Seconded.

Artemis

Tbh as there are 7 games this month DC has to integrate the new signings and get them firing pretty sharpish. If we have a stinker this month then that might be it for L1 football next season. DC wanted Matt Taylor so now he's here so let's get behind him. I can see starting vs. Wycombe with Lloyd/...

Artemis

Is Sloggett the player due to be completed today, or is there someone else to come?!?

Yup, especially local ones.

Artemis

or Charlie Kirk?

Artemis

We have lost all the other loanees as well since Darrell came in. Seven loans, plus Thompson, Smith and Goodwin gone. Taylor, Kinsella, Nuttall, Shepherd, Harrup and two more. 10 out, 7 in. Aye, a reduction, and Street out injured for what sounds like some time. And we mustn't forget Adshead and Ch...

Artemis

The messaging was quality and experienced over quantity at the start of January....if three more come in, even with Thompson, NBO and Goodwin gone, that's the quantity argument blown. Street is effectively gone aswell (for the season) if his injury is as bad as feared. The frequency of games is als...

Artemis

wow, and two more in before Saturday, rather than today. Free agents then.

Might turn out like Naylor, Reg Varney or Larry....who knows. But on the face of it, unless it looks a significant risk.

not the old, if you think you are better do it yourself argument, just because you have an opinion. Pretty strange if you apply that to all walks of life. Absolutely. I’d like it explained why it’s a “disgrace.” Maybe the poster fancies asking that to DC. Let’s see what happens on the pitch. Take a...
