So that is 13 signings since Jan 2025

So far

 

I can't see Will Norris going

 

Now 14

 

I think Tafa has another year left on his contract

 

He has but how many games will he play this season before getting injured he's made of glass.

 

For the signings since Jan 25 I have added their quoted playing positions

 

Why are some light grey? I reckon Butcher might have a future here under Dodds. Has Bez left?

 

The light greys are "expected" to depart one way or another

Who is Bez?

 

Oh, ok. Bez Lubala.

 

I have seen pics of the shirts the players will be wearing for the new season i love the home one but hate the second and third kits,they were revealed on Twitter earlier.

 

As you say home shirt not bad at all, 2nd & 3rd nothing too exciting there

 

All those grey ones will be gone. Just Ryan Tafazolli and Alex Hartridge remain. Has Tafazolli returned from his loan abroad? No-one yet come in for Hartridge? Shame Butcher was released. A real warrior

 

Will Norris played at Brighton in a closed doors game, looks like he is still with us

 

And he let in 6 goals at Brighton.

 

No,he let in 2 and apparently made some great saves. The new GK let in 4 in the first half. Apparently Brighton fielded a strong side in the first half. Ladies played the second half

 

Have you seen our academy squad. 25 of them, see here. They will be playing at Adams Park in a few weeks

 

20 year old Midfielder Jamie Mullins has joined us from Brighton.

 

Not players, I see we are still recruiting backroom staff how many have we now got if the start to the season goes badly what will they do with all this backroom staff

 

So, at present, these are the ones remaining from last year

Jaiden Bartolo - on loan at Slough Town last season (on the bench against Spurs)
Shamal George - on loan to St Mirren for the season
Jack Grimmer - team captain but will he get to start
Alex Hartridge - could be released from his contract if another club beckons. A bonus if we can sell him
Dan Harvie - started against Spurs
Richard Kone - Celtic sniffing
Luke Leahy - started against Spurs but might look elsewhere
Jack Matton - on loan to Tonbridge Angels until ?? Started in first 2 friendlies
Garath McCleary - bench player at best now I suspect
Fred Onyedinma - bench player at best now I suspect
Brody Peart - on loan to Tonbridge Angels until Jan 26
Josh Scowen - out most, if not all, season
Declan Skura - played in friendlies but not involved in Spurs game
Ryan Tafazolli - probably move on with all the centre backs we have
Dan Udoh - started against Spurs

I don't think we will see many of those in the starting 11 this season. 2 or 3 at most

We almost have a new team with 15 signings this year, so far. 9 of those started against Spurs, along with Leahy and Udoh

Harvie is getting match time now after injury last season
Bartolo,seems to getting some match time in the friendlies and was on the bench against Spurs. Don't know much about him
Striker Bradley Fink is nearing match fitness so hope to see him soon
Jack Matton looks a long term prospect. Young 6' 4" defender and seems very confident. Captained England schoolboys
