You could be right but alongside better players than he’s had this season…… Whatever, I’m sure GF will be aware as would MT. Not that it’s important or relevant but 10 years ago we signed a FGR player, similar position, who couldn’t get in their National League side and that didn’t go too badly! UTG! There is a player in Charlie McCann if someone can unlock his potential. In hindsight he made a poor career choice moving to FGR, but he does have ability. Came through the ranks at Manchester United before moving to Rangers for a fee that could have risen to about £800k and then won their academy player of the year award. I agree. Something was seriously wrong with FGR for two years. Vince made some horrendous managerial decisions which make Wael look good! And their form fell off a cliff for one season and 45 games. But there will be some decent players there who, with better players around them, could do a very good job for us. From your experience pirate what forwards are realistic targets for us this summer? Presuming Chris M stays which looks likely now. UTG! |

Presuming Chris M stays which looks likely now. UTG! Other than the likes of JCH and Stephen Humphrys, the out-of-contract options are very limited to be honest. I mentioned Ruel Sotiriou, he's decent. I'm waiting to see who will be released from the Prem academy and U21 setups. I would seriously exhaust all available options and that includes looking abroad. I've tried tipping off the club about a player called Jordi Escobar who is well suited to L1 with his height, build and technical attributes. If we exploit different markets that could be where we get our 'marginal gains' from. Let's face it, what we have been doing hasn't worked and it's nearly 30 years since we last reached the playoffs at this level. That isn't good enough and has to change sooner rather than later. www.instagram.com/reel/C1h943zNlyM/?hl=en |

Will Ferry Cheltenham or Frazer Blake Tracy at swindle both rated left backs, always liked Lee Evans ex Gas youth midfielder now available from Pompey.
Liked the look of Joe Low, Josh's son who s at Wyscum.
Plenty of players available to join the Devon mafia!

Now JB has gone we need a new Pantomime villain I thought he had a serious heart issue, not sure we need another potential "sick note*? Edit: I didn't realise he joined Swindon on loan at the end of last season, he didn't seem to do a lot whilst on loan. |

Season review up on the YouTube channel.
Taylor didn't give away much, speaks like a politician, talks a lot but doesn't answer the questions directly.
Worrying that he said his philosophy will be moulded by the players we bring in... surely you set the philosophy and bring in players who fit into that? He'll never have a better opportunity to shape a squad than this summer, with the turnover we'll have.
Have to wait and see but that really didn't fill me with any confidence and doubt it'll encourage anyone to buy a season ticket. I certainly don't condone the personal attacks by posters on here, or X, or the players who disrespected him at the awards evening, but you can see he's the polar opposite of the last manager and terribly uninspiring.

Keeper Max Stryjek released by Wycombe Played very well against us but very prone to catastrophic mistakes. |

Seen a few suggesting we sign Crewe LB Rio Adebisi, but do we have much chance as they seem to be a team on the up - whether they win the play offs or not.

Keeper Max Stryjek released by Wycombe Played very well against us but very prone to catastrophic mistakes. Also injury prone around the 75th minute in majority of games. May need a lot of managing to get him through to the end |

I think we should have a look at TJ Eyoma been released from Lincoln Centre back only 24 .played 26 games this season big powerful and would work well if we play a back 3 .He’s scored 3 goals this season.Played 95 games for Lincoln over 4 years
