Updated squad as of 29/07 GK - Jake Cole GK - Chris Lewington RB - Gavin Hoyte RB - Danny Divine LB - Noah Chesmain LB/CB - Luke Pennell CB - Lewis Knight CB - George Elokobi CB - Ryan Johnson
RM - Justin Amaluzor LM - Iffy Allen LM - Nana Kyei CM - Clovis Kamdjo CM - Sam Corne CM - Saidou Khan CF - Ibrahim Olutade CF - Jake Embery CF - Jonathan Edwards Still here for the time being: LB - Dan Wishart
I assume that's it now for the 1st few games anyway. Possibly room for 1 more midfielder, and maybe a little light up-top, especially with Embery's injury. Will need Justin, Iffy and Nana to chip in with some goals to help surely. Quite possible that youth team players Jacob Gilbert and Cameron Williams get a chance too.

Agree another CM required and that’s it. Squad looks good. Happy with this and can’t wait for the season to start now.

Although we need it I have a feeling we won’t see another midfielder sign. I have a feeling the money is gone now and the squad places will be given to the u23 likes of Gilbert/Williams as bench players

Funny thing, I share the same feeling. The squad we have is complete, despite a suggestion that we may be a little lightweight in central midfield. We must wait an see. Lots of 'promising' signings although in truth the near future depends hugely on the talent spotting qualities of John Still. Quite simply most of the signings do not have the pedigree of players we have played over the past couple of seasons. Oliver himself has cautioned patience from supporters. A mid table position by Christmas can be assumed to be a realistic target.

A mid table position by Christmas can be assumed to be a realistic target. I think Oliver is trying to keep us grounded rather than letting TC do the talking. I imagine there won’t be much of a kitty left now and I get the impression the teams real position is mid table rather than anything else. We might surprise a few with the squad, but probably not a top 6 team at this stage. That might change by end of August depending on how well or not we’ve done

The season starts this Saturday, see hakans interview after the game, if his chin is welded to the pitch like last season we are in the poo, if it's attached to his head we are safe

Slightly disappointed that we haven't signed Mclure as he had great awareness of his fellow players whereabouts and put some fine thru balls in

It’s a position we need someone in for a start..

We appear to have a strong defence which is what we have built our successful teams on in recent years.
Dan Wishart is an odd one!! Do we play him to put him in the shop window or leave him out completely as he didn’t want to be here?? Was hoping Doswell would sign him for Havant. We need the money we are currently paying him for another striker. We currently have 3 left backs and he is probably in good money. Coker left by mutual consent, he obviously doesn’t want to risk being without a regular income. Who would buy him from above if he isn’t getting games in the NLS? He remains the only person we couldn’t clear out! Maybe the clown wants him back 👍🏻

I imagine that HH/JS2 will try to loan him out.
