Wouldn't play him out wide, not slow but not great pace, really needs to be in a front two. He has a decent enough touch but is not really a traditional target man because he is not overly strong. Alongside a nippy striker he will win flick ons with his head and feet plus free kicks or get into...

Kurtis Guthrie off to Colchester for a fee. Ok player, capable of scoring double figures in L2 as he matures I reckon, though maybe not in his first year. Good in the air, gets fouled a lot and has a really hot girlfriend, which I think contributes to the fact he thinks he's too good for this...

No way we'd sell our best player. Yes he can be inconsistent but he was our only real threat in the final.

More likely to be Parkin I reckon, doesn't really fit Coopers style which requires pressing from the front (good Plan B or C mind).

Well let's see what preseason holds.

Disagree strongly. Think Maxted will be number wang. I always thought Russell was above average with the ball at his feet and a decent shot stopper, but coming for crosses was his weakness. Possible that he deteriorated badly since he left us. Although I think our fans have rose-tinted glasses...

Sam Russell has signed for FGR again. Competition for Maxted I guess. Not completely convinced by his record compared to Arnold and Maxted, who both have a better clean sheet record. But I guess our defence was much improved this season compared to previous years (despite so many chances coming...

You're right and Cooper's been very clear he'd rather recruit younger players that he can develop and throw in when injuries occur, than loan players from higher clubs. But as you say Swindon had 3-4 players from Spurs on season long loans that went straight into the first team, so time will...

Cooper has said he wants to play a possession-based passing game. He has also said he is not afraid to change things up depending on the opposition and the game situation, which will be nice change from Pennock who didn't seem capable of influencing games from the sideline (everyone already saw...

Darren Carter confirmed. One month out from the end of the season I would have been disappointed if he'd re-signed, because he hadn't contributed enough and was wasted where Pennock had played him - in the hole. But once he was moved to a deeper central midfield role where his range of passing...

Darren Carter confirmed.

No Mark was right. Tranmere destroyed us in the first game and we were terrible and pretty dirty in the second.

You'd be lucky to have him. Don't get me wrong, he definitely has his limitations in terms of lack of pace, heading ability and willingness to get "stuck in" and be physical. When the going got tough, games tended to pass him by. This is really his level. But he is an absolutely top bloke and a...

Yeah but he had a major knee injury between Fleetwood and coming to us. And we did try to play under Hockaday, in fact it was actually Barry who was one of the main culprits for pumping it long because he so often went for the 40 yard cross-field glory ball.

Yan Klukoswki set to sign for a Conference National team this week, not sure which one (though apparently not Eastleigh). Has been playing for Newport in L2 but never set it on fire. Scored 49 goals in 4 seasons with us from midfield (though occasionally played wide in a front three), so is a...

And now he's back .. older and much shitter than before - enjoy!

Bit bizarre .. I'd ask his new employers for compensation.

Yeah we paid Under 24 compensation for Doidge & Pinnock, and a minute amount of compo for Moran.

Nope won't happen. He's settled here with a young family and loves his job.

Excellent .. um ... why?
