  1. In Topic: General Election It Is Then...

    You think this is, at face value a good idea? Blimey

    As an idea, it's laughable that it's been rolled out at the eleventh hour as part of a general election campaign.

    However, if it were to form part of a rejigged education syllabus with the specific aim of equipping young people with life skills and hopefully preventing them from going down a route that so many do, I'm not convinced it is a bad idea. It might not be a significant problem in your neighbourhood or mine, but in some areas home life and the education system is failing them. Teachers know it's a problem, so do youth workers, employers, the police and the probation service.

    I think we're a long way from having a political party with the appetite to tackle the education system, employment, crime, and many other issues which are more than evident in society.

    Given we have 3 CB's, 1 RB & 1 LB signed up, you would expect we'd have one signing in each position without considering outgoings.

    With the squad size limitations we may see signings who can play a couple positions but I'd hope at a minimum we bring in 2 strong CB's. Notts looked better at the back than us last season and they've been found out pretty easily in League 2.

    Found out, they finished 14th and only Stockport and Mansfield scored more goals than them. Some might consider that a success given it was their first season back in division two!

    I have not been this excited since we signed Gary Roberts. No substitute for quality.

    Just remember that before creating a thread calling for him to be sent to the knackers yard for not scoring in a game!

    Now we're back in the league I feel pretty relaxed about it all re: signings.

    Last season it all felt like its now or never. This time I'd not been waiting in anticipation for the retained list, nor will I be the same on incomings/outgoings.

    The Cook/kirks effect has plenty to do with that. There is just a sense of calm in the air, there's progress off the pitch and things will happen when they do on it and I'm sure cook will get the players in that will do enough to at least put in a solid campaign of consolidation.

    Feels odd but I'm actually at ease with it all - probably for the first time I can remember really.

    Well said.

    For too many years our club was the victim of some questionable recruitment. By contrast, since Paul Cook came back to the club and the Kirks became involved, we've seen a refreshingly different and measured approach to signing new players and retaining existing ones. Long may it continue.

    I think our recruitment will be very similar to last season and I look forward to seeing who we bring in and in which positions.
