Looks like the plan is to go for good solid pros who know the score and hopefully still have the desire and hunger . Sprinkle in one or two young exciting youngsters who can run at the opposition and we’ll have the nucleus of a good side at that level. Didn't this approach relegate us into non league once? Explain

Hmmmm 🤔 .... there’s journey men and there’s experienced pros . I guess it’s down to their character & hunger as I said above. Age shouldn’t be a barrier or mean you’re just out to pickup a wage packet but there’s definitely plenty of players who do/have fallen into the category. stating the obvious..... but recruitment is vital . The last bloke failed miserably along with his mentor . Can Joey do better ?

Once when your an up and coming star and once when you are at the end of your career. It's good to see you again" It's tricky ain't it. You want experience but you don't want players just picking up a wage. You want up and coming players who are ready to play in the first team but are then maybe attracting too much attention in January.

Perhaps he’s got a fast car? only 70 mins by plane from bristol to Glasgow. I’m having nightmares of O’Riordan and his flights from Edinburgh.

With Blackbeard's previous record, I have faith in his information.
Just hope it's not the same faith I had in Rovers over the years - blind faith.

I have a very black and white view about these things . If it's true then we should THANK Blackbeard for sharing info to grassroots fans . If it's not true or assumptions then why put it ?. It's only going to build up expectations and cause more tension !! . There will always be expectations it’s just whether the names are right or not !? New faces are coming and they have to have names I’m wrong here n there but my track record is tidier than than 99% of the waffle that gets bandied about in here And it’s not that deep the pubs are open, summer is coming and in JB we trust enjoy the ride

Starting to make sense now. Hulbert is going to agree his contract, Dayle Grubb is coming from WSM, Jordan Slew will leave Morecambe once the play offs are done, Andy Dibble agrees to be our new goalkeeping coach and Marc Pugh will become a player coach....so that’s Slew, Pugh, Charlie Mulgrew, Hulbert, Dibble and Grubb! Which suggests we’ll be back playing at Trumpton.
Travelled a virtual 125 miles to like this post. Absolute quality.

McAleny was dropped, loaned out and subsequently released by Barton after he’d been a regular at Fleetwood with Uwe Rösler. I can’t see him wanting to work with JB again.

There's the Everton connection, Mcaleny kept getting injured, he's played 40 games this season. Fleetwood had an embarrassment of riches up front when he was there so understable how he struggled to get in.
