Instead we’ve got a GK coach, a role we’d have had to pay for anyway, who is still young enough and played recently enough to cover for those few games. Added bonus that he’s been working with our 1st team keeper.

Impressive signing for 4th tier.

It will either be the 2 new strikers, or 1 up front, or Politic or some other established first teamer. He will either go out on loan to non league or get a permanent move in the next window.

I just said that to someone today. Ready to go day 1 - that’s the first big improvement that hasn’t happened for ages.

August 6, 20206 yr I think there will be a fair few yet as the kids will go out on loan, maybe a loan or two in too Edited August 6, 20206 yr by white noise Addition

August 6, 20206 yr Wonder why Faal is not impressing. Hill didn’t like what he saw but Evatt didn’t play him at Atherton either. Maybe he will go out on loan
