Grant Smith GK anyone?

Is he good with his feet?

Not sure think he was the best keeper we had when JR was here but sure he fell out with him, like one or 2 others & that was that.....

People who whinge more about his diving rather than appreciating his talent bore me. Boo f**king hoo, he does what almost every single other flair player does and exaggerates contact. Cry me a river.

(He should stop it though because it rarely benefits him lol)

Probably the same people that call Dobra are members of the Grealish Appreciation Society!!!

Perhaps he's playing the percentages knowing full well his style of play will attract the 'clog' and also knowing that the 'clog' isn't always punished correctly. So it becomes a case of you win some, you loose some. Trouble is he isn't very good at it.

and what a starting point he has to do that from because he is top draw talent for the level we find ourselves, he also has a great coaching team around him who will help him learn the pro game but let's admire the talent of this lad whilst he's still at our club, personally i love watching players like dobs, he's what i go to football for, for that excitement when such a player gets on the ball and in a way you're not certain of what is going to happen... there's a lot to learn for sure but so glad he'll do that learning at our club.

Agree - he's several classes above most at this level and the next level up. Opponents try to negate his skill by shoving, barging and pulling him about, so I'm happy with the fact that he goes down to draw the ref's attention to what's going on. I'll be absolutely delighted if he stays next season.

the player i would try to sign is ndlovu from boreham wood,he isnt my normal type of striker but we need a solid frontman and its not as though he hasnt played up north before as he was at ilkeston ,just a complete handfull,who would create space for the players around him.

Agreed, he'd be high up on my list too. Looks like he'd be fine playing the lone frontman role.

He'd be cheaper than Dallas I guess.
He caught my eye when playing for Brackley vs us in a cup game - then obvs saw him play for Boreham Wood.
Big, strong and started scoring back end of season. Very big thighs

Or just pleased that a solid if unspectacular keeper that helped get his team relegated was mentioned kindly by some ex fans.

Some say he has been at the club today to have a face to face with Paul Cook..

[NEBlue]

Cal Roberts would be a confusing signing unless we are expecting outgoings. As far as I am aware he is a winger, this is hardly a position where we are lacking...

do we need a winger?

[TheSpireite1866]

Thought the same thing especially as it’s unlikely we lose either Dobra or Colclough unless a big fee comes in which only Wrexham could afford from the league up. Think its more likely he would be coming as a 10 and Cook would rotate between him and Manderville

Would be a superb signing - Hard to believe until he has actually signed. All common sense would say if he returns to England he would go back to Notts…especially considering he was at the game last week and partying with them in Notts til the early hours of sunday morning!

Right hand side probably yeah. Which side does he play?

Just looking at the history, his signing pre-dated Webby so there's nobody on the management side that can really give him a reference. It'll have to be Mandeville.

It looks like Rowe signed him on a 2 year deal then let him leave after 1 by mutual consent, so more money wasted.
