So now we have made a few signings, who do you think we could see leave?

- Lowe - would still do a job at league 2 but could see him wanting guaranteed playing time at this stage of his career.

- Loft - If he leaves we could do with another striker. Just think he needs a reset for his own good. Atleast with getting two decent strikers in early it sends a clear message where he would be in the pecking order.

- Grant - Don't think he has the physicality / pace personally and was the most disappointing of our signings last year based on what we expected. Also feel like we are more likely to play 4 at the back, on the basis we have signed Curtis as a winger. Really didn't rate grant at LB and hope he has enough pride to sign elsewhere instead of sitting and picking up a wage.

- Sang - feel a bit bad for him in that we never really played him in CM. I do actually like him but not good enough defensively to be a RB. At the moment we seem well stocked in centre mid, so could see us accepting him to move on if the finances stack up.

- Jones - Think on his day he is better than iaccoviti but unfortunately is injured too often.

I do think we might have a few more signings lined up (CB and back up keeper) but would expect them to be more in the 'hart' mold than marquee signings. Also potentially approaching that tipping point where to do more than that, we need players to leave.

I am one of those(maybe the only one) who wouldn't mind if Sang stayed,I think he gets a rough ride tbh

Charlie Wyke to Carlisle is some deal.

Is it though? dont get me wrong he is one i thought oh i hope we go for him BUT his injury record over the last couple of seasons has been poor although a big part was due to a cardiac arrest which he thankfully recovered from,we have since got Stockley and Tolaj in and being honest now i would take both of those over him

Wonder if it will be one like Micky Adams used to give the players on coming back after the break, where some of the players said they threw up after some of the runs.  🤣

I used to have a PE teacher who made us do the bleep test the week after summer hols if you were in his lesson.  Some of the lads were throwing up in the bins on the playground/school field, I'm only talking 20-25 years ago.  Probably wouldn't get away with it today🤣

How long are we giving it before pics appear from training with people saying who is this 🙂 is it a trialist etc

A little hard to see him and Armstrong as a pairing, both play in similar spaces. Guess they may try to replicate Wimbledon. 

More deals seem to be being announced today with us entering July now than has been

I agree with you tbh. I like him and think he has something to offer.

I’m all for Sangy as a squad player & hopefully in the middle of the park. So many goals we conceded last season come from his side & his mistakes I hope we don’t see him hung out at right back or wing back again. Has a lot of energy though which could be used in midfield & he’s not too shabby on the ball

Free agents become unemployed as of today don’t they?

Sang needs to be let go , not good enough like you said loads of mistakes and errors from him cost us last season , didn’t score a goal and I fail to see what he offers

I would like to see him as a wide man but not a wing back or left back as he does have a good delivery.

Easier said than done getting rid of all the crap from last year mate, I just can’t see it myself. From the deadwood I’d be happy if Lowe, Jones & Loft were moved on. Obviously the likes of Sang & Grant etc too but I do think those pair would be ok as back up in league 2 if we can’t shift them all

From a moving ball he does. Set pieces are schoolboy standard 😅

Someone has already put pics and vids on FB but you can't really make much out of them and the vids are shaky 😁 so couldn't tell you if some unknown players were on them
