Joe Hart is struggling to find somewhere to play...
He would be Head and Shoulders better than what we have now.

If Swindon have signed Jak McCourt , they will be one team that finishes below us .

Quite how he is still a pro footballl player in the Football League baffles me! Very slow, picks up way too many cards and can’t pass. Surely there’s better in the non-league?

There is definitely better in non league. Lazy recruitment though isn't it.

Yep. I think most Cobblers fans would like to see the club take a look at more non-league stars (and before anyone mentions it, i mean from the top levels of non-league not clearly below par players from lower non-league levels like Lobjoit).

The trouble is that even decent non league players cost a lot these days - it means the days of picking up rough gems like Richard hill, Trevor Morley, Eddie mcgoldrick etc for next to nothing have gone.

We will know more based on the starting eleven tonight, but on Deano's two per position I'm looking at:
GK - Cornell (Goff)
LB - Buchs (Turnbull)
CB - Taylor (Barnett) Pierre (Williams)
RB - Facey (Odoffin)
RM - Powell (Whaler)
CM - O'Toole (Foley) McWilliams (Roberts)
LM - Crooks (Hoskins)
ST - Morais (Bowditch)
ST - Williams (Van Veen)
Surplus therefore are: Coddington, Kasim, Waters, Bridge? Not sure on Bridge, think he may get in ahead of one of the two youngsters in the midfield. Anyone disagree/have any thoughts?

There’s no way he would have that much face in youth players and if he does we will struggle big time . Bridge is a definite central midfield back up and Turnbull is a centre half back up . The question is over the wide players yet again . Powell and Hoskins have not worked so far consistently . Crooks is wasted there but I don’t think he will be here anyway

I only count three in there, and don't think that is too many in a squad, especially with two of them having pro contracts. So we put Turnbull in for Williams as CB cover, does he cover Buchs at LB too? I thought he did a good job in a few games at LB. Who do you have not making it out of Whaler and Roberts?

I wouldn't take too much notice of the 22 players remark from Austin. Managers say the same thing every pre season - small squad high quality. It never works out like that.
Bridge was an Austin signing so can't see him been frozen out, certainly not to being with.

Dream land but I would take HArry Forrester who rangers have just released.
From Sky Sports: Harry Forrester has signed a two-year deal with Iranian side Tractor Sazi, who are managed by John Toshack.

First year professionals will not be proper first choice back ups I wouldn’t think . I have no idea who is better out of Whaler or Roberts and I hope both do well but the reality is we need a bit more cover at the back and are short wide because Hoskins and Crooks are not really wide players . That’s assuming everyone stays which I personally doubt.

I too would like to see a genuine wide man, but Crooks can play there, as proved at Walsall last season. He turned their left back inside out, before DA needlessly subbed him.

I've never been more sure in my life than to question that Crooks has EVER/NEVER turned anyone "inside out".

If this squad is kept together and no one leaves , it should shape up well next season . Clearly we need a keeper , probably another wide player and another centre half / left back . We are also short of a dead ball specialist . I would imagine we are trying to offload Kasim , Bowditch and possibly Waters to release funds.
