Probably more complicated in a corner as they would need to go up two sides of the pitch to protect the stands from wayward shots as having the net on the pitch would still have the ball going towards fans. As it stands they just have a straight net on just one side between the goal and the corner that will be easy to put up in a straight line and just one to take down.
And they don?t look too expensive in the scale of things. Only a couple of thousand for a removable system. I watched them take down similar when we played at Chelsea and it took 10 minutes at most. -

Does Mandy get in the 3 behind Grigg, instead of Madden, Dobra and Coco ?
I don't think he does, but did well as an attacking full back, so that is one way to get him into the starting 11.
Already like the look of our starting 11.
For me Freckleton is a no brainer if we can do it, can cover a few positions and does not count towards the outfield quota.
Plus I think he will come on a bit this season
Unless there is some outgoings there will be a lot of rotation going on in the attacking department -

Correct on the number - 22 plus Boot and Cook who don't count. Would expect one of Palmer or Williams to go and then potentially some loaning out of players like Hobson, possibly Quigley or Drummond too, and we don't know if Banks is staying yet either.
Think I agree there. We have one left sided CB and three right sided CBs so something has to give. There are also too many players queuing up behind the one striker role especially if Madden is playing in there and it also has a left side bias. Think the squad look strong but it still looks a bit unbalanced to me.
At least we have a month of friendlies and all of August to finalise the squad -

Not getting this Mandeville at right back option...he did ok there for a few matches last season but i dont see it as a long term option.
Same here. Doubts about whether Sheckleford is good enough for L2 is one thing but apparently no doubts about Mandeville playing in that position in L2 while detracting from the attack is another.
Handy that we know he can play there if need be but to have him ahead of Sheckleford? -

My memory is a bit cloudy - I'm struggling to picture Ian Evatt playing at 38. Would've made Palmer and Grimes look like Olympic sprinters...
He could hardly run at the end of our relegation year and struggled for fitness all season. It is fair to say he was carrying some timber at the end.
