perhaps if he/they were presented at the fans forum, there may be a bit more interest in going.
Is it the consensus that these two players are Lee Martin and Jimmy Oates, or is there someone else?One further possible extended discussions ongoing
Yes........With Key and Randall going out on loan, the squad is down to 23 players.
3 Goalkeepers: Hamon, Pym, Weale
6 Defenders: Brown, Croll, Martin, Moxey, Sweeney, Woodman
9 Midfielders: Boateng, Collins, Dean Holmes, Kite, Law, Sparkes, Taylor, Tillson
5 Strikers: Abrahams, Forte, Jay, Seymour, Stockley
Compared to 6 months ago:
4 Goalkeepers: Hamon, Jones, Pym, Williams
10 Defenders: Archibald-Henville, Brown, Croll, Moore-Taylor, Moxey, Seaborne, Storey, Sweeney, Wilson, Woodman
12 Midfielders: Boateng, Byrne, Collins*, Dean, Edwards, Harley,Holmes, James, Kite, Taylor, Sparkes, Tillson
6 Strikers: Brunt, Jay, Loft, McAlinden, Simpson, Stockley
*Collins was out on loan 6 months ago, but recalled before the end of the season due to first-team injuries.
Between them, the players that are no longer at the club (Archibald-Henville, Brunt, Byrne, Edwards, Harley, James, Jones, Loft, McAlinden, Moore-Taylor, Seaborne, Simpson, Storey, Williams and Wilson) played a combined 259 games for City last season (285 if you include Reuben Reid). My question is, can anybody see the new signings and unused / underutilised academy players adequately replacing the players that have left the club?
As the squad stands, you're happy with it? 6 defenders? I assume we'll get more in (maybe even today), but TAH, Moore-Taylor, Seaborne, Storey and Wilson played over 100 matches between them, and to fill that gap so far we've got one man with a bit of a spotty injury record.Yes........
I went by who is listed on the club site as being in the 'first team'.Is goalkeeper Felix Norman not on a contract? Or still an Academy player?
We're probably 3 players short from a full squad. A RB, a CB, and a midfielder. We know Taylor is actively trying to get some players in. Its obviously not been easy. I'm confident he will have it all in place before the start of the season.As the squad stands, you're happy with it? 6 defenders?
