No snazzy press release but we were wearing our new home kit in the Swansea friendly. Its not as bad as I was expecting, its only the lines on the shoulders that I don't like. The away kit is being revealed later in the month.
Lost 2-1 to Swansea in our first friendly, first team played the first half and were 1 up at half time through Jordan Green, second half 6 trialists and a couple youth team players came on.
We've cancelled midfielder Connor Smith's contract, can't say I'm too surprised or dissapointed as he was pretty poor for us, and now it frees up some wages, hopefully to put towards a decent holding midfielder now he and Gobern have left.
In better news Omar Sowunmi has signed a new two year...
Rumour that we are signing Gary Warren who has been released by Inverness. 33 year old cb, was their captain, and is a west country lad, so seems to tick all the boxes for what we need.
Not heard anything about Khan down our end, with Way saying there was interest from clubs but "nothing in writing". But he has a release clause which Bristol Rovers met in January so I'm sure Mansfield can match it.
His sending off against Chesterfield was for pushing the ref, after not being...
We've signed goalkeeper Nathan Baxter on loan from Chelsea, was on loan at Woking last season and won their player of the year award. He has replaced Jonny Maddison who has joined Darlington on a free.
Aston Villa at home, very happy with that, the only team in the draw we haven't played. Would have preferred it to be away though. Decent chance it will be on T.V as well.

We do have an academy which restarted when we got relegated to league 2, but haven't offered any of the graduates pro contracts. Instead we seem to be trying to get meet the rule by trying to sign Craig Alcock who came through the academy in 2005.
He's a quality winger for this level, had 10 goals and 10 assists by January, but after pushing the ref against Chesterfield and missing the Man U cup game he lost form completely and struggled to impact games, losing his place to Jordan Green.
Nothing at our end but that's because no one has a...
Club Supported: Yeovil Town
Best moment of the season: Beating Coventry 6-2 at the Ricoh, a game where we seemed to score with every attack thanks to some decent play and some generous defending. Also got to see Biamou score an absolute screamer.
Low point: Losing 8-2 to Luton on the opening...
