They’ve signed Jerry Yates so he might not be a starter for them.

Sounds very unlikely. He would cost a lot more a week than Vadaine Oliver! Expect him to sign tomorrow then....... Anyway, with Notts County failing to get promoted that might be one less option for Oliver.

'Hope' not to Nouble and Madine - so why(?) or is it just personal opinion. No problem with that! No real opinion on both for that matter.

I wouldn't mind that lad Roberts from Notts, or Diamond from Harrogate, albeit as he's on loan from Sunderland he'll probably be playing for them next season. Congratulations to Harrogate, they were the best side, could easily have been 4 or 5 up at half time.

I fear this is going to be a transfer window like no other we have ever seen. As I see it, clubs can take two basic approaches:
1. Sign players early, banking on getting in first, perhaps taking a hit on the wages front and, maybe, assuming spectators will be allowed in to grounds quite soon to cover some of the wage costs. 2. Play the waiting game to see if this drives the cost of players wages down and leaves bargain signings to be made. At the same time, these clubs gain an opportunity for greater clarity as to whether Covid-19 is going to mean playing behind closed doors for much longer than some, (e.g. Boris Johnson), anticipated only a couple of weeks ago.
Perhaps due to some luck, and some judgement, I think the Cobblers are taking option 2, which I think is the sensible one, given all the uncertainty. It is clear, I believe, that many others will take the same route.
The minimum aim of next season is to finish above the other smaller clubs such as Accrington, Rochdale, AFC Wimbledon and so on, whilst avoiding being one of the clubs that, perhaps inevitably, end up having a 12 point deduction.
As for players like Oliver, well good luck to him for seeing if he can get a better deal. However, if one had turned up that was so good, perhaps he would have signed up somewhere else by now.
The result of all probably means a rush of last-minute signings at the bargain basement – although some players may decide to give in earlier as they will not have been paid since the 30th June.
To say it will be interesting to see how things pan out is something of an understatement!

A twitter account has linked us to Krystian Pearce, Mansfield fans have praised him a lot in the past, no idea how he has done in recent times.

Do we know when the lads are in for pre-season training ? Can't help thinking some of those not modelling the new kit will be back from holiday by then (to negotiate their part of any potential transfers).

Very decent defender, I’d be happy with that.

Manager Keith Curle made what the Nottingham Post described as a "shock decision" to place Pearce on the transfer list in May 2012, suggesting that the player had "not been able to recreate the level of performance [he] was hoping for and expecting". Curle said that Pearce would not be given a free transfer, and claimed that a £500,000 bid had been rejected during the season. He joined League Two club Barnet on a three-month loan on 14 September
