Christmas day all over again
What a day. This day must go down in history. In the 37 years I've been watching town I've never known us sign up players for next season so early.
Great work by deaks but a massive thank you to Nally

Re: Christmas day all over again
Mikele brandy perch and cox
Still think we need 2 centre halfs.
I want to get a barstool in. Sometimes I think we are to nice.
Another forward.
I would like us to play 2 up front, both players right up top making the centre halfs run towards their own goal.

I would keep all of the current squad I really hope we can get a another couple of seasons out of Perch and Meikle. Both are outstanding at this level. Tom Marshall has been a revelation since being given the number 5 shirt. Cox is a good central defender and really gives the ball away. Parker is a solid defender and has made one full back position his own. King is very skilful and his long throw is a big bonus. Minkley and Loughlan haven’t had much a look in so far but both are decent players. Brandy has shown great attacking flair and can be a match winner. Starkie is one of my personal favourites with great skill and creativity. Wafula needs more time to settle in but I remember that perfect header at Macclesfield. Alex Marshall is a physical forward who can unsettle defenders.
So I’m very happy to keep all of our squad.
