    It may or may not be a loan but I do feel it will be someone who realises they're not going to be close to the first team elsewhere and wants to move to us. May be mid-August before they join. Just hope they're fit!!

    Kind of hope we offload ROD and have a look at that Trialist goalie Chesterfield had the other night for back up. His communication wasn't the best, but his shot stopping was very good.

    I know some people on here don't like O'Donnell but this has to be one of the most bizarre suggestions I've seen.

    I remember him making one good save from a header.

    But this is just bizarre, you want to replace someone who’s made 350 professional appearances with some trialist at a non league club because he made a few saves in a friendly. Do you even know who he is let alone his previous experience, he may have been let go from somewhere for being a total liability.

    If R’OD is our number 2 next season there won’t be a better more experienced number 2 in this league.

    Some of our fans are simply bizarre.

    We want a keeper who communicates with our defence. He’s a trialist for Chesterfield for a reason.
    We have one, you mentioned, who isn’t good enough,so why replace like for like?

    I understand people want an upgrade on ROD but not a trialist for chesterfield. Exeter have just signed cameron dawson from Sheffield Wednesday he's played like 70 games in championship for them in past few years now that would have been an upgrade

    Don’t think we need another attacking midfielder definitely another forward and possibly a fullback

    My post was a bit tongue in cheek really to say how low ROD has gone that I would rather have a trialist as back up. However I do agree some league experience is needed.

    Anyway back to the striker hunt, Brett Pitman's just rocked up at Bristol Rovers, would have doubted he would have come here due to not wanting to live up north.

    Marc McNulty and Kyle Vassel are being touted for loan moves to Tranmere. I don't think Alfie May got his move to Forest Green from Cheltenham due to the asking fee not being reached, Leyton Orient were keen 3 weeks ago. So there's still players out there, just a case of are we wanting to compete with teams up there with us? Or are we gambling by waiting still?

    Give over, you were deadly serious until you got battered for it.

    I mentioned Alfie May as a possible a while back. Maybe the player we bid for earlier this summer perhaps. Would be a good signing. Always seems a nuisance when he has played against us

    I would have ROD as our number two this season. But as you say Wilsden, any club would struggle to get a better more experienced back up in Lg 2.
