Welcome home Callum keep ya head down and do the business. Haven't seen the interview but I think in the circumstances we can give a youngster a second (third?!) chance can't we? As a backup, can we insist he gets a lift everywhere? (JOKE! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crusoe Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 (edited) Doubt it’ll be much. At league level rules are predefined based on time with the club, appearances, etc. I think it maxes out in the mid-five figures. Not sure what rules apply in the National League but it won’t be any higher. Edited August 23 by Crusoe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

League one forever Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 Does anyone feel like a decent side is being built? In the last two seasons, it’s been very splash dash. 6 centre halves, 6 strikers, one winger, no right back. The balance of this squad is so so much better, with really good options now. We’ve been let down so many times, but I genuinely think we’re in for a really good season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players appear to be being brought in to do a job, they need to fit, improve us or give us something we don't already have I'd say we have two very good teams which will hopefully translate in to a decent squad. Only worry for me would be an injury to Hudson and maybe the Reid/Kitching situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mellon must think Maloney is better the Norman so we have adequate cover there. I think the Kitch/Reid thing won’t be as prevalent now, MM has a lot of ‘his’ lads now and if they start I think they’ll be quickly ostracised.

What did Nick Haughton do until the last 4 years, and he's 6 years older? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nick_Haughton He's only on loan BP.....

Think he needs to show us what he can do first....maybe he's talented but a big big risk to take on someone who will be on decent money with little or no track record and with a chequered past. Surprising if he is as talented as you say he's been ignored by everyone else! Good luck to him though and let's hope he's the gem you say he is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did really well on-loan at Torquay so was recalled from his loan early by Fleetwood. Was in their squad before getting injured. After seasons watching Mark Shelton and Nathan Sheron this will feel like a godsend. He’s a more physical Jack Byrne So been reading what others have said and stand by my view that he's done very little to impress in his career so far... Hence why he's on a 4 month loan to a NL club. I'm not saying he won't be a success, just that he needs to demonstrate that he is worth a contract and is better than what we have. All this bollocks about doing well at Rylands and Torquay is a bit lame... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
