Without any signings
Realistically we are going to have to bring in a dozen or so players, am assuming grey and mani D leave.

Does anyone really think we can pull any sort of decent team out with that many new players needed and us so late to the game?

also bad news if Grayson is putting his trust in Monks given his recent track record, a team full of chairman’s Hunters and Folarins is NLN bound

Will pre season training be on a 5 a side pitch?

A team full of chairmen's? Surely to f*ck one Raj in the boardroom is too many?

Hearing Callum Johnson is set to sign following his release from Bradford City.

A versatile right full-back, capable of playing in midfield and as a right wing back too.

Ex Middlesbrough, worked under the new manager at Fleetwood Town during a loan spell.

Oh I’m so excited looking forward to the new season, so excited I could go pop, so excited I can’t sleep and say a prayer every night for the club to succeed…it’s just an exciting time to be a Poolie. Wow ….. I’m now breathless in anticipation of our promotion glory and cup run :text-thankyoublue:

Stand by for the stock phrases from the happy clappers. It happens every summer when the signings begin.

kitching gone to york from oldham so thats one ex player coming back thats not going to happen. one good thing about the club being shit is there is no rumours doing the rounds about decent players being available we could sign but never do.

Get ready for the friendlies results.

Wins =. We Gunna smash div 5 up. The new signings are mint. A team well backed again.

Losses =. Defeats count for nothing in friendlys.
Still the open window as well. And a leniency time of gelling.

Ye Eh!!!

All about opinions until we see the reality of actual league games and results. The "squad" at the moment looks pretty woeful. But for every "happy clapper" positive post I'll be surprised if they're not outdone by the negative ones. I mean slagging off rumoured to be possible signings is way too premature isn't it?

As this month comes to an end the transfer activity will heighten, due to the fact that many contracts run out on June 30th. Many players will wake up on July 1st without a job, and some of them will have to lower there sights, ambitions and expectations in order to secure one.
There will be a major flurry of activity over the next two or three weeks.
The big question as far as we are concerned is the size and quality of our involvement.
Will we be pleasantly surprised or worryingly apprehensive???

Everything will work out well, it’ll be perfect and everything seamlessly will fall into place with a squad you can only dream of.
The sun will shine and the crowds will flock and season tickets sales will boom as we set off on a journey of unparalleled success and bask in the reflected glory.
It’ll just be Wooooooooonderful … clappp

Pleases note***Alternative scenario’s are possible.

Yes I heard versatility being quoted by Grayson as something he’s looking for , let’s hope it’s not a bunch of players who can play defensive mid center back and full back on their resumes but in reality aren’t any good at one position

Yep add him to a recent list including Wallace, Hunter, Tumilty etc..

That said would be happy if we signed Agyemang again, not sure where he is now but was good when we loaned him from Boro
