    Want us to go full pelt for Tom Cannon in the summer, whether it be permanent or loan. 4th choice at Leicester and hasn't started a league game since January, despite their forwards poor form.

    On the bench tonight and I doubt he'll even get on.

    They paid £7.5m and it was reported he failed his medical due to scans showing a very serious injury that cannot be repaired, they signed him anyway, not sure we would be the type of club to go ahead with that sort of thing.

    Looking at our injury record we’re exactly the type of club to go after him :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    He was up here last summer, so we definitely spoke with him, not sure if we pulled out or he didn't fancy us

    After today's announcement with the kit, I hope we are in for Mats Hummels. <laugh>

    He scored a belter against us for Cheltenham and played well. No t seen much of him but was impressed with what I saw. Saw him as a 10 more than a 9 though. Either way we need more goals in the side.

    31 in July. I’d bet anything the club wouldn’t pay a fee for him and I’d want better tbh. Has he ever kicked a ball above L1 level?

    Wonder if we have a look at the Rotherham keeper.

    Rated as **** and available for pennies it seems.

    Dunno if I've read the article wrong but what stood out for me was that "the new head coach adding their thoughts to the mix when they are appointed at the end of the season." Yes I know we need a new head coach but for me it seems that as soon as the season ends, the new coach comes in - unless that's just wishful thinking!

    Hallelujah! Maybe they could have relied on the experienced head coaches opinion in the summer, but better late than never. Doesnt need many, but 2 or 3 would make a postive difference.

    Aye just 2 or 3, I'd say a CF and CM would do and throw in a dependable backup CB, wouldn't be expensive.

    Proof of the pudding and all that....watch this space, another drip feed like the new strips keeping fans informed and motivated, what's not to like.

    Taking this season as a massive learning curve from top to bottom, you learn so much more when things dont go perfect think we’ll better for it in the long run
