Ched Evans would be a great signing, and one that stood out for me. Feel we just need one more striker and a defender.

The life style in the Chelsea loan farm, start as a big lad in England Youth, decent pay. But difficult to impress  elsewhere. Now in his 30s

 

Goes to show there is a lot of dross in PL2 age group sides. He's relatively good compared to many but any Shrewsbury fan would rather have Marosi.

I must be honest I wouldn't be overly keen on any of them. Some are ageing and clearly in decline, so you won't get the player you remember. Quite a few league 2 journeyman. A few have had questions asked about their attitude. Based on his performance against us last season I'd say Kadeem Harris would do a good job for someone.  He's able to play every outfield position except centrehalf, plenty of Championship experience and still had decent pace. Hughes wanted to keep him but also accepted he wanted to stay in the EFL. Seems a team player as he was happy to play 5 different positions at Carlisle without complaints.  Not really for us as we have reasonable depth in midfield and wing positions and he's only played odd games as a centreforward. 

Ritchie Smallwood signed for Tranmere.  Makes it harder to see where Jason Lowe fits in. Nobody would select him as a holding midfielder over Smallwood. 

Seen that Danny Imray gone to Blackpool on a season long loan. Good signing that for them.

Some of their fans posted on FB earlier saying the rumour there was that Ojo is going to them because they were asking what he was like but surely that wont happen now,will it

I wonder if Crosby has some loyalty to Ojo as it was pretty obvious that Ojo downed tools when Crosby left. Managers want players who they know are loyal to them, could make sense from that angle.

Just seen that.  I recon thats a done deal.

Played predominantly at Salford as CB. Only really switched to back to CM with us.

I would think he will play RCB alongside Smudge.

This. I really can't fathom why some posters think he's so poor. I'm sure I'll be corrected, but what did he do that was so bad last season that has made some form this opinion? From memory, he was on a par with the others by and large. All of our CBs made cock ups at some point during the season

I think he is a decent player good positionally and his height is often helpful but he is very slow so if he gets turned its over. Definitely decent back up and great to bring on late on as an extra defender to defend a lead but not sure I'd want him as first choice.

That's actually not true, he played rightback at Salford in a back 4. He made his name at CM at Blackburn: where he sometimes played centrehalf. 

I know this is off topic, but has anyone else not received their digital season ticket download yet?

Haven't received mine yet, should I have done? Must admit probably wouldn't start getting concerned until closer to the start of the season, thought that was when we usually got them.

I think Villa have signed a keeper and Blackpool are looking at another keeper so i wonder if there is now something in our bid for the villa keeper especially with Marosi playing today and not the trialist

Check your spam, failing that speak to the club. 

I had the same issue and resolved it last week. My problem was I purchased tickets in the club shop against my account for other people who are not registered with the club so they attached those names to my account, the ticketing system essentially has a hold on my account because there were 3 names. Once I confirmed my email address it was issued immediately.
