Honestly do not see us challenging next season, hoped for so much more. Its all a bit sad really... I get the frustration but there’s a long way to go yet I guess. I haven’t checked but istr last year we signed several players early and this place was buzzing. But we then seemed to stop signings when we came to strikers. We do need a couple of strikers and I’m sure we’ll get those. I can’t imagine after what JB has said we won’t get them but we may have to wait a bit longer because those players will be in more demand than defenders and midfielders and they can afford to wait. And in the end it’s not about the number of players we sign it’s more the quality of them. I think we’ve recruited ok so far but that means nothing in June. We’ll have to wait for August and September when we see them play to make a real judgement. But, fingers crossed. 🙏 UTG! |

I have absolutely no idea about any of these players if I'm honest, never heard of any of them.
None really blow me away if I'm honest, but I was impressed with the calibre of players last year so I'll take it as it comes.
For now I'm just going to enjoy the Euros, Olympics & Wimbledon and not fuss too much with over analysing their wikipedia stats.

We’ve no certainty about them and can only wait until we see them play. They seem ok but.... JB has been given free reign to sign who he wants so we’ve got to trust him to get it right. And hope the quality is there that was missing last year in so many signings. Like you, I’ll enjoy those and hopefully some decent cricket! UTG! |

Pretty sure Barton wants to play a back three? So something like: ...................Jaakkola ........Baldwin..Hughes..Taylor Williams............................Anderton .................Grant..Coutts .........................Finley ..................Ayunga....Hanlan Expecting at least 2 new strikers to come in, as well as a right wingback, backup GK, competition for Anderton and another midfielder. Still plenty of business to do but nice that the team is starting to take shape. I really hope Baldwin will be gone, he is a disaster and make so many mistakes in my opinion |

So using Salary Sport as a guide... I know its probably not 100% accurate but it might give us a good indicator... Incomings (6200pw):Coutts 3800pw Hughes 900pw Anderton 900pw Finley 600pw Taylor (Loan) Outgoings(25500pw):Bennett 4000pw Ehmer 2900pw Little 2900pw Ogogo 2500pw Upson 2300pw Daly 2100pw Davies 1600pw Koiki 1500pw JvS 1100pw Hare 1100pw Leahy 1100pw Kelly 900pw André 500pw I think it is safe to say from a numbers and budget perspective, we have some scope for more  |

A keeper from where?  ? Where's St Blazey? Or Darrell's team? Bunch of misfits! I get more worried these days if a player comes highly recommended and full of promise. |

Think you will find the young lad we signed last week will be alongside Hughes with Kilgour starting on the bench. I think there will be another striker signed and at least one winger together with at least 1 full back and a goalkeeper, I hope we keep ayunga and Hanlan as both could score goals in League 2 and you need 5 strikers in your squad.

Why do you hope we keep them? I couldn't care less if all BG's signings left apart from Nicholson, as they were all part of our worse season ever in L1. If they remain at the club Ill support them but wouldn't be upset if they left. |

Still need to trim that wage bill if we want to bring in a proven number 9. |

Most squads have 5 strikers and surely it is possible that Hanlan will trouble League 2 defenders and Ayunga is our only real targetman. You say we are to trim the wage bill but we have lost approximately 17 players from last season and signed 7. We must still sign a couple of full backs and a goalkeeper at the minimum. I would think another attacking central midfielder and another targetman plus one winger is not beyond a possibilty if we are trying to build a promotion squad. I think we will be sending players like Hargreaves, Liddle and Tomlinson out on loan and would not be surprised if Baldwin or Harries left.

Saunders' pace could be an asset coming off the bench against tiring defenders. |

Yep, I think we’ll see 1 striker in and possibly 1 striker out depending on whether or not Barton can guarantee Hanlan/Ayunga game time. |
