I think selling ayunga shows we must have a striker lined up and be confident he’s going to sign …or, as an alternative, he didn’t want to work under Barton after his demoralising and hurtful comments last season and wanted out.

In all honesty the current situation won't be doing much to sell the club to potential signings. Those that see JB as a positive will fear he won't be here much longer.
Agree the defence was opened up a couple of times, but it is pre-season and they are just getting used to playing as a unit. Overall defensively it was clear the individual players were stronger than we saw last year, and there was definite signs of better organisation and more leadership. Good point, this most definitely will be a concern, players are unlikely to want to sign knowing Joey is unlikely to be around, and it is likely with Joey going, Clint and Andy will leave with him, which would be a problem at least in the short term.

I’m not so sure. I guess it would be more up to Wael if he wanted a clean break if Barton left. I’m sure Hill and Mangan have ambitions in football which go beyond being Barton’s wingmen.

I think we'll have an incoming - professional footballers have different priorities to what we imagine. Are you aware of any incomings Tilly? Or is it more hope and expectancy?

Just doesn’t make any sense, I don’t think he would be in big money either. Banged 2 in for Morecombe tonight too👌 Against a team two levels below his former team H and W. But we struggled against Melksham who are a few leagues down too!

New medical and fitness staff and now more injuries than ever at this stage.
New goalkeeper coach and Anssi shaky on crosses and kicking wasn't the best yesterday.
Have we really improved the setup, or as usual at this football club, replaced what we had with inferior quality?

All we need now is a new defensive coach, and a strikers coach and we might as well stay at home.

Too early to make such judgements imho, seem to remember Ansi do exactly the same thing in his debut at Blackpool and giving away penalty, i was a bit concerned then but all was well with him in the end!

Have we really improved the setup, or as usual at this football club, replaced what we had with inferior quality? I guess Barton wanted his own people or mates in the building. Don't see Tony, Shove-the-ball-boy, Warner as an upgrade but Tom Short appears to have a good CV. Don't know who Joey will blame for injuries given Garner and Tis have been out of the club for a good time now and the signing are now his own. Still think there is enough in the squad to compete in this league but if there is a bad run of form then I can see trouble as you can't blame referees every week.

I said on the match thread yesterday Collins made an impressive 50 appearances last season for FGR. First league game comes around for us and he is injured. Makes you think are we just really unlucky or is there an underlying problem?

Anssi's kicking was poor as he had to try and find a player out wide yesterday rather than just boot it to our no 9. As far as his b@lls up for the goal I doubt the fact he'd played so little football since May helped him.
