Not sure why we are so gullible to keep falling for these stories as the list grows ever longer, Chris Brunt, Cureton, Constable (lucky escape with him), Easter now it seems Tubbs, all apparently going to join us in recent times before signing elsewhere. You mean Chris Wood? Pretty sure it's not being gullible, just hopeful. Easter met with Clarke, Tubbs played under Clarke. There was a slight possibility.

BSS referenced Easter, but it's all a case of putting 2 and 2 together and optimistically making something more than 4 and trying to find "facts" to convince ourselves our optimism isn't miss placed

That article also says we are after a central defender. Does this mean Trotman is off? If he isn't then I would say that is the position we least need to strengthen. We already have McChrystal, Parkes, Trotman and Lockyer there who are easily good enough for this league.

The Easter deal was very much on the cards and had been sanctioned at Millwall despite everything that was said. The stumbling block was his wages and who was going to pay what. Holloway decided that if they were paying most of his wages then they might as well benefit from his return to form. I notice that Millwall have just signed the Wycombe winger so Easter may no longer make the bench and Holloway has announced a clear out

I think we, as in this forum, literally provide about 85% of James McNamara's research.

Good work, I heard that too from a reliable source. Luckily Andy Stockhausen only reads OTIB, so this one may take a while to break in to the quality local press

This article is another example of the Evil attempting to put the kybosh on us. Pure speculation reporting, just like the previous article regarding Wimbledon's new contract offer to Tubbs. Whenever we get a decent young player who has put in a few good performances they rush out stories about this, that and the other club being interested, and how we won't be able to hold onto said player much longer. I don't mind objective reporting, but this rag can't seem to wait to harm our chances with its negative spin. I always thought it was the role of a local paper to support local sport. Only seems to apply to one team unfortunately. To be honest I stopped buying this paper quite awhile back because of these reasons and I did read it after online but gave up that too, fed up with drivel they portray as news about our club

We already have McChrystal, Parkes, Trotman and Lockyer there who are easily good enough for this league. Trotman's present short term deal must end soon, so we need to either agree a new deal with him or sign a replacement. If the alleged problems with his knee(s) is true this may have some bearing on whether he's offered a new contract or not.

Who wants to know what the post office is doing in chard?! Some maybe but not I.
