Still no news of our playing squad which with the first pre season game v Longridge due this Saturday is unusual.

Plenty of rumours but nothing confirmed to date.....

Chris Stokes has tweeted a picture and looks to be getting fit and training on his own at present. I thought he was a decent player last season.

One or 2 rumours about Josh Harrop , Cheltenham last season. Started at Man United and played 1 game for them and scored 1 goal in that match !

Totally agree.

We could do with his experience and leadership qualities as shown on the field last season. He had a calming effect when under pressure for me. Others will no doubt disagree.

Rumours about Ben Tollitt training with us. A winger.

Let’s see who DA puts out at Longridge on Saturday

Harrop isn't training with us anymore. I believe Derek only signed 3 from the dozen or so on trial. There is a returning loanee from the Robbo days and a striker who will hopefully bag a few

Is it the one that has been at Carlisle ?

No, the one who scored a good goal that never gets spoken about because Cole Stockton hit one from half way

Is it Callum Jones we had him on loan 11 games 2021-22, scored his goal against fleetwood town when Stockton got his legendary goal.

Played 17 games for Forest Green on loan last year and scored 1 goal, I don’t think any one scored from halfway for them thou!

I didn't think he was too bad for us, wouldn't mind him coming back. Seems to have been a bit stop start for him with loans to Grimsby and Forest Green and a couple of appearances for Hull in between since we had him. Looks like Hull gave him a new long term deal in early 2023 so must still have faith he'll kick on.

15 signings

Plus

Stu Moore
Kayden Harrack
Gwion Edwards
Charlie Brown
Saul Fox

And a few young Academy players looking much better

Let’s see what DA can do with this lot and the 5 we already have, 8 from last season! I’m sure he will bring in a few young loan players like the last few years, especially with how we have brought on most of those who came here. A lot of experience in the squad so a few hungry youngsters wanting to learn, progress and impress their parent club, we are up and away. Good luck tomorrow.
