Did you ever wonder where we got Nathan Ellington, jason Roberts, Barry Hayles, Matty Taylor - or are they not good enough for you None of those players were signed from clubs in theEighth tier of English football so my reply stands as it was. As for the tail end quip of yours😴 Ellington signed from Walton and Hersham and Barry Hayles from Stevenage - both of those clubs were then in the southern counties league - but I think you miss the point McQueen and Tarpey are young players verging on breaking into the league proper - as were most of our current squad

Do you really think we lost out ? From the very small amount of gossip it seems DC wasn't interested as is what Steve Hamer basically said after snake went slithering to his new piece of tin to hide under. I have a feeling DC already has his top targets and is ready to go as soon as the club have the meeting in mid May. Is it me or has anyone else felt that DC has been pushing and even tetchy is a couple of club interviews ? I'm really glad he can habe a break. He's newly married and needs some time at home then get back properly refreshed. I was always a fan and wanted him to take over a good while before it was forced on him. I have full confidence in him and don't think he will be leaving us this season but I guess it's now time for the owners and Mr Hamer to give him the backing. I don't expect any big names but I do expect younger players. Ricky who ? Maybe smudge will want back here now that he seems lutmof favour at posh. WYHHB ?

Darren McQueen and Dave Tarpey play for clubs in the eighth tier of English football. They would proberbly be a step up on our current bunch but I hope we don't need to delve that low for a half decent striker. How can anyone say that some players in the 8th tier are probably better than gaffney and harrison who have both scored i think 10 goals in league 1 which is about the average number of goals for a striker that plays 30+ matches in any professional league? If either player mentioned is out of contract in june maybe somebody will give them a chance to prove themselves if their lucky?

Smudge wanted back in January - but remember - he left us when we were relegated - others were more loyal

I don't think the Miller to Peterborough rumours are 100% legit and therefore we should be fighting to get him. Ridiculous scoring record, far outscored a lot of players that have stepped out of the conference to be championship standard. Whatever became of that Jamie White guy ? I think that is his name. The small so labelled super striker that played under "dazza" at Salisbury That was feckin odd that. I saw the one interview where he called DC Dazza then never saw him get a game. Did he play or was that when I was going to watch Liverpool instead ?

Four pages of thread and I don't think anyone has identified realistic targets to fill the striker role...just shows getting a brace of strikers this summer who can score goals will not be easy. Who can we realistically afford who is likely to knock say 15 goals a season? There used to be a guy who was on the old official forum who had reams of Intel on non league players. I think he got so much stick that he jailed on and had enough. I was always a reader rather than a poster but that guy had phenomenal knowledge or it certainly seemed that way

same age as Hayles when we signed him - At my age EVERYBODY is young Hayles was 25 when he signed for us yes - that's right he was 28 when we sold him to Fulham for £2million where he played 200 games and scored 44 goals while they were promoted twice including to the Premiership - not bad for a 30 year old - perhaps proving (like Cureton does year after year and Giggs did0 that age is not always a barrier to scoring goals ls.

I think probably more a work decision. None of us really know, do we ?

Personal crap and all that plus a couple of our own that I was angry with. Thought white was supposed to be the next big thing. He certainly talked the talk

He played but didn't look after himself well enough. That is unfair and untrue. He signed for Salisbury and had spells with Poole Town in the Southern League and Blackfield and Langley in the Wessex League. He had had horrendous injuries before we signed him and had further ones after. Always best to check before you make accusations! UTG!

Devante Rodney at Hartlepool, just come off the bench, scored two and his goals nearly kept them up, looks good, strong forward with a good pedigree, young too. DC's former club. Say no more. UTG

UTG another rollercoaster ending at the bottom end of league 2. as we know, it all ends in heartbreak somewhere in the country but lord does it always produce some of the most unbelievably intense situations known in football....
