Think he spat his dummy out after the reid situation When Reid inevitably leaves, we need someone who can come in when his best mate Kitching starts to cry about the situation again. Wise move and Doro can also provide extra cover if needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be amazed if we don't see outgoings, permanent or loans. If we are trying to sign Stones that would make Reid 5th choice. He has to be going surely!

Crusoe Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 Caprice signing seems a wise move. We could definitely use another striker, preferably with some pace, even if one to develop. I'm slightly more concerned that in signing another keeper we're paving the way for Hudson to leave. Norman's form does not inspire confidence.

GlossopLatic Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 2 minutes ago, LightDN123 said: Time will tell if he is able to get up to speed for us, Monty, Hope I am wrong. Hes scored goals for us which have contributed to wins. But sometimes it's not the player that you need it is the man, and Mellon has talked at the fans forum about him driving standards in the dressing room. Like Norwood he's at an age where he needs younger more energetic legs around him but he cam still be an asset to us. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafc1955 Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 Assuming we sign Khan, if we can offload Reid, Hogan & Norman & get in a striker, hopefully Stones, there is no reason why we can’t win this division. I think this team could also be good enough to be able to challenge at the top end of league 2! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can sort out our attacking set pieces (which were dreadful last year) then that will be a massive asset. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diggleblue Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 58 minutes ago, mick26 said: Osgood Schlatter or something but it can clear up I think Osgood schlaters is a condition affecting the knee in young adults caused by rapid growth which causes tension on the quads insertion point just below the knee cap or caps. The condition is painful and restricts running ability. Usually treated with rest till the growth of muscles and limb length catc up. Takes months rather than weeks to settle.But it does usually resolve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
