Now that's something that's bugged me for years, the club just doesn't communicate well at all. Right now we don't know about the squad, during the season we never know about injuries - players just disappear without a word until we spot them on crutches or whatever. It's no way to run a club.

Spot on

It's Big Dave's way to run a club.

Unless we pick up a few loanees we'll probably have to blood a few of our young 'uns. They've certainly got the skill.
With the number of players gone I'm not optimistic about promotion next year so let them have a learning opportunity which could stand them in good stead for a push for SL in two years time.

Cunningham is also out of contract.

With all due respect, that is not a squad that will strike fear in the hearts of our competitors for promotion. But you never know I suppose.

Re: 2020 Squad : Sat Nov 09, 2019 3:05 pm  

I'm assuming Gideon Boafo is staying on because the club tweeted a piece about his rehab from injury a couple of weeks back.
