So we have one of the new strikers in, I am neither over or underwhelmed.

Time will tell if he is any good, remember how many people bemoaned Oliver last season and he bagged more than just a few at Gillingham this season.

Interesting to see exactly how "quick" he is compared to our current crop.

The top two here is hilarious, jesus.

More interested in us tying up a goalkeeper than an Assistant as this point.

Anyone heard any rumblings on this?

Why not buy him and his girlfriend a ticket?

I would rather like the peace and quiet for a couple of hours. 

It’d be interesting to know why your youngest doesn’t want to go anymore...

He's 15 and is a Cobblers supporter, but plays Saturday football and his girlfriend plays Sunday football and visits family afterwards. So Saturday afternoons are his time to see her at the weekend. 

I'm tempted just to buy him a ticket anyway and then he can just turn up to what games he feels like.

Like you, I do think a bit more of the atmosphere might get him more excited but who knows.

He could be the Watson replacement if watson leaves

I would not be adverse to that if it means we can spend the money elsewhere.

Good news.

Hopefully Scotty is fit and will continue to get game time and develop.

Nothing on their Forum to support the Twitter tweet! Not surprising as the Twitter report lacks specific details.  Just hope we have offered Jones and Watson competitive contracts which are beyond the likes of Crewe.

With Bolger gone, we should be able to offer Jones a decent enough deal to commit.

Doesnt mean they will leave. They could be in advanced talks, but if they are paying less than we can offer they may well stay

True, but also means they could keep us waiting and drag things out whilst they listen to every other offer and then sign for someone else anyway.

Hope we have set a deadline for them to have made a decision by.

If that's the case we should withdraw the contract offers and get on with looking at others.

There’s a seat next to me in the West upper. 

  This could be interesting.

In terms of protection the East offers zero from the weather, unless there is no wind and the rain is coming directly down from the sky in a straight line. 

Personally i like a level of elevation that only the west stand can offer. Gives you the best overall view of the pitch and team shape and formation in my opinion.
If price matters to you, then go with the north. If it doesn't and if there is availability then have a look at low numbered seats in the West, that's where the majority of the noise comes from.
i don't think i would sit in the East if someone paid me to. On the plus side i guess if you are sitting in it, then you don't have to look at it like i do from the West.

Price doesn't really matter, I'll see what is available in the West.

I always tell people the benefit of sitting in the East is that you can't see how bad it looks! 

A simple question asking for advice.

For the last few seasons I have our season tickets in the East Stand with my youngest, sat about halfway up and on the halfway line as I like the view it gives.

However my lad no longer wants to go, and the atmosphere is pretty dead in the East. I do long for a bit of singing/shouting/hurling abuse like I used to have when I went years ago.

Should I stick with my current seats or look to move into the North or West?

Does he still live up North?

He has been with us, MK and Barnet in the last 5/6 years so thought he may be settled down here by now.

Think Watson/McWilliams would be a fine midfield pairing for us in L2.

Hopefully have news on him and LJ soon though, otherwise it's back to the norm for us in waiting for our best players to re-sign, they don't and then we rush into picking up whoever might be available for the sake of it.

See the Rob Hall rumour is picking up some traction, really hope we do a thorough medical like MW suggests if that is the case.

So an actual rumour at last...Rob Hall released from Oxford United

Good player, would certainly be a thumbs up from me.

My only concern would be how his knee is holding up, didn't he have a really bad ACL injury and keeps re-injuring it?

Seems a sound appointment on first glance, hopefully the change we needed.

Another random one from Twitter?

Erhun Oztumer released by Charlton. Still only 29 and would solve our need for a playmaker to play through the lines. The question is would he sign for us?

No chance I would think, but a great player.

Does anyone think we have a realistic chance of signing an aging goalie (33+) from higher divisions that might get released in the summer?

Seems to be quite a few from the Championship that might be available, but guessing wages would be too high for us.

Would happily have Nicholls back after getting released by MK, he is still reasonably rated by their supporters it seems.
