    Free agent players signed up this late in the summer have probably been released by their old Clubs weeks ago.
    Some of them will not have kept their fitness up. Many will not be able to play the early games of this coming season.

    It's a pretty poor situation in the case of Darren Pratley, but sadly not a surprise.

    You will be as gutted as I am that Charlton are not offering a deal to triallist Elliott Ward - source - Rich Cawley.

    Rohan Ince good strong physical player. To be fair to Lee Bowyer he has spotted where the weaknesses are in the squad, ie lack of height and robustness and trying to do something about it. Unfortunately he has been given shirt buttons and chocolate coins to fix it with.

    22 games on loan for Bury last season, who were relegated with something to spare from League One. He may now get to repeat the experience with us :emoticon-0136-giggl

    The mighty Peterborough United have made a bid for Josh Magennis. [source - Cawley]

    Elliott Ward will not be offered a contract by Charlton. We are pursuing other centre half options. I presume on loan.

    Just because a Club has been relegated it doesn't mean he had a bad season. I have seen Rohan Ince a number of times and have been impressed.

    Fair point if you've seen him - I just find it depressing the calibre of player we are now looking at. Bowyer hinted as much himself. Just the cheapest options possible. With no hand towels or cleaners at the Valley either, what odds that Magennis goes this week ?

    It is not surprising the type of players we will bring in at the moment.

    Dushitelet is not going to spend any more than he needs to now.

    I listened to the end of the St Mirren V Kilmarnock cup game last week. St Mirren won a penalty shootout 2-1 after 5 penalties each.

    They have as much difficulty as Mr van Gerwen when it comes to scoring then.

    Peterborough are an ambitious club with a young ambitious British owner who communicates directly with fans.

    They’ll be back.
