I suppose when on a limited budget if you want a goal scorer you have to pluck one from the level below or the level you have just dropped to as one of the Bigger clubs in that league! Anyone banging them in from higher up will cost loads. Oh what I would give for another season with Collins and May banging them in every week. I’m not advocating bringing those old fellas back, but that kind of partnership of two players playing at their correct level and not costing the Earth. We seem to have a very strong back line and keeper “on paper” let’s hope we will not need to score 5 goals a game to win! Who's Collins?

Mate of mine is a Halifax watcher (he is from down South but watches them as he lives there). Says Edwards is a trier but could not hit a barn door. Also thinks he would do well at a lower level. Does work hard. Also said they have less than 11 players signed on and have the same discussions we do about the state of their squad. Didn’t we have a trier up front last season that couldn’t hit a barn door? Went to Eastbourne Borough!! Saying that though if Young Edwards is partnered with the correct player like a “finisher” a good balance can be reached. Question has to be does JS2 already have that player or is he still trying to sign them 🤔 Looks like one of those last days panic buys we were concerned about resorting too. We Needed an experienced striker for Jake and Ibrahim but apparently we couldn’t find one! Let’s hope the midfield signings look stronger.

I am surprised we didn’t go in for Alex Wall (assuming we didn’t of course) Worked with John previously and has a great goal scoring record at this level. I think he would have complemented our younger lads very well.

Tired of people trotting out the same stuff about what we need.

Too many people making unsupported assumptions and then whining about those of us who don't go along with their panic.

So Dave you’re also making an unsupported assumption that the latest signing is NOT a panic buy and whining that others think differently to you! It’s just different peoples opinions - stop taking it all so seriously!

I am just surprised the KM did not report that Jonathon Edwards jumped at the chance to join Maidstone or jumped for joy at signing for the Stones.

Isn’t this forums reason for existence for fans to express opinions? Or is that only if it’s in line with your opinion Woodstone?

It’s just different peoples opinions - stop taking it all so seriously! Where did I make any assumptions at all? You're the one who seems to think he knows exactly whats going on behind the scenes and has the ability to read JS/HR's minds. Unlike you I don't form opinions based on a total lack of knowledge.

Shouldn't take him long to score more goals than our forwards did last season, Blair excepted.

Last days PANIC buy ,the season doesn't kick off for 6 weeks get real old man, anything could happen in the next half hour,let alone 6 weeks. And before you rattle on about friendlies and team gelling and all that bollocks if we sign someone on loan during the season we don't give him half a dozen meaningless games before we throw him in so why the need to do it now. Just in case you haven't noticed this is not a perfect world,though BOJO might make it so. Stop PANICKING.

The management have clearly seen something they can work on. Hunger, attitude etc. Remember we’re building a certain type of team. Mould them into winners. Youth mixed with experience. Seems their getting it solid first. They may have who they want and are just building the excitement up towards the coming weeks. Don’t think their ‘ oldboying’ it though. Aka Panicking
