    McCartan's fitness will be one of the things I'll be looking out for in pre-season. He seemed unfit at the start of last season so hope he's being looking to improve that. I think he's a talent but just isn't clear about what his position is. Is he an attacking mid, a winger (which Grayson used him as once or twice) or an out an out forward? He needs to find his place in the team and with Jones back and Josh Wright in, competition is growing - even more so when a replacement for Poleon is found.

    I'm far more confident in seeing a better season from Reeves. I do think he was rushed back too early from injury and it showed. I think Reeves needs a bit of a presence in there with him and Akpan could provide that, but ultimately don't know what style of play Collins adopts so we will learn more over the coming weeks about where everyone fits in. I'm actually looking forward to seeing them play on Tuesday at Guiseley.

    Good luck to him. Stuart's biggest mistake imo

    Does this mean if CW leaves we need 3 strikers in?

    Lot's of skill. His problem is the void between his ears.

    If we've got back half what we paid for him that would be an excellent bit of business, any more than that and it would be the deal of the century , even surpassing the Hanson deal.

    Well done to Rahic for managing to move him on, for a fee too. No doubt we made a loss on him transfer fee wise, but sometimes you have to admit you were wrong and he simply was not good enough for us
    I wonder how much input Collins had on the decision?
    Good luck to him in deepest Sussex, and I think he has found his level in the 4th tier

    Undisclosed fee. I.E we’re not allowed to promote taxi company’s and their fares.

    Need someone in to replace him now.

    Dare I say it, but things are actually starting to take shape!

    Very nice, makes room for better. Well you'd hope so anyway.

    Collins said earlier today that there were a couple of things brewing. Maybe Poleon leaving is the first part, with a replacement to follow soon then?

    Perhaps so. There are sure to be a couple more exits before season kicks off you would think. Hope we manage to convince Wyke to stay, but can see him going before end of the month

    Decent move all round. Never really cut it for us and would likely get limited game time next season. Let’s hope we can get a decent striker in now and I think things will definitely be looking up.

    Another quality deal.

    All it needs now is Vincelot to go, good money for Wyke and two quality strikers in and we could actually have a good season.
