The Squad for 2018/19

[Boz]

Ryan Williams confirmed as gone too, no big surprise there.

I agree with BBTC, very good side if all the first choice are available, but might have to improvise or change formation if some key players aren’t available. Almost a given that Banks, Norwood and Perkins will be banned at some point.

On Cole, he had good ball control and was capable of doing the unexpected. He featured in two of our best home performances, wins v Crawley and Exeter. Talk of him going to Port Vale or Macc.

 

[Rockford's Love Child]

A bit disappointed about Cole as our best performances of the season came when he played in the hole, in the games Boz mentions above. I would guess the problem was that unless we played that system which suited him perfectly, he could be pretty anonymous. Mellon probably wants more consistency and adaptability.

He'll surely get a deal with some club in League Two - and probably come back to haunt us.

 

[Higgy]

Whilst Williams won’t have cost much, the likes of him and Akmanndu do seem a waste of a wage

Will be interesting when Cole and Williams end up. Warrington Town maybe?!

Not where Williams will end up, but i would be surprised if Cole didn't do better than Warrington. I think he should get a L2 club. I did like him in the "hole" role and i thinl he may have the potential to make L1 level at some stage.
It would be good to see at leadt one more signing.

 

[keep the faith]

thought he was excellent against Exeter and hoped he would grasp the chance to establish himself but seemed a bit laid back. shame but we move on

 

[drwhoman]

A bit surprised about Cole but MM is not hanging around. Anyone remotely surplus is leaving. The Italian boy as well ? It may well be that we will see a winger signing probably on loan. Might depend on how long Smith will be out?

 

[aldoes mustache]

yes good williams has gone wast of time now send Akmannadu packing as well . there must be one or two comming in you would think

 

[Boz]

Drwhoman, Smith was on the bench at the weekend, so presumably fit again. I would still like to see another wide player coming in though

 

[Rockford's Love Child]

Akammadu is playing for the reserves at Stockport Town tonight, so is going nowhere for the moment.

 

[ADD]

As RLC said he played against Stockport so going nowhere plus he is on a season long loan so we can't get rid even if we wanted to. Incidentally no first team squad members played in that game which I thought was slightly strange and Pilling also did not play. Thought MM may have wanted to see him in action in real game?

 

[bring back the cowshed!]

Any more speculation about Norwood? I've learned never to hold my breath when I hear a TRFC transfer rumour.

 

[Ian]

Hmm, it’s all gone a bit quiet although they do say no news is good news!

 

[Cowshed Kid]

Thankfully though Nors himself hasn't gone to ground - he's still happily tweeting away.
I suppose if he just doesn't go in the window then that itself is good news.

Yes, but the fact he doesn't mention the new contract makes me wonder if it's just fake news.

 

[Ian]

Also talk that Harris might be on the way.

 

[Sparky]

Also talk that Harris might be on the way.

Wouldn’t be a surprise. With Perkins coming in and Gilmour signing permanently, Jays chances of first team action are limited.

At his age he’ll want to play every week and he might be released at the end of the season. Like Sutton he could easily get an 18 month deal somewhere. Maybe he’ll go back to Wrexham

the person who told me he was signing and it was to be yesterday has said he has pulled out of signing, no reason given or any other information

 

[Sparky]

All rumours and hearsay but wouldn’t surprise me if someone has come in and offered him mega money compared to what he’s been on before.

 

[bring back the cowshed!]

I can't see him staying now. And I am wondering if Micky was waiting to see how much money he had left after Nors' new deal. If there is to be no new deal, hopefully he can now spend a bit more on a couple of decent players.

 

[Ian]

Also talk of Manny leaving for pastures new. All rumour of course..
