Looks as if things are coming along nicely now

[jonnydog]

Don't know much about him to be fair, whats everyone's opinion?

[RoversAlias]

He's got tonnes of experience all of which was earned in the league above and the Premier League. I think on a free transfer he would be another very useful addition to the squad.

He is just one of the 3 players that Deano is looking at, there two others that sound like good prospects too.

[jonnydog]

Any idea when we may see some confirmation or signings on these SM?

[RoversAlias]

I'm also wondering if these 3 players would be in addition to maybe Hawley & Morgan-Smith, as though I don't think either of those would be big players for us it is always useful to have bodies in.

My post was a little confusing, what I meant was that there are 3 players in the running for the midfielder berth and James Harper is one of those. There is also the goalkeeper situation to be resolved. Expect some news maybe as early as tomorrow.

[Wade Falana]

Saw him against Gainsborough and he played as a holding midfielder, assured on the ball and a good talker. Can't see him starting but a decent addition to the squad.

Probably wouldn't offer Hawley or Morgan-Smith anything though.

Saw Hawley and Smith 2ndhalf against Hull, both did ok.Maybe good to have on bench.

[neil grainger]

There is also the goalkeeper situation to be resolved. Expect some news maybe as early as tomorrow.

No disrespect to our present incumbent but that's the bit of news I was hoping for.

[graingrover]

Yeah ... Neil is stepping up!
