Stevenage sign Beryly Lubala (CF) and Jasper Pattenden (RB) from us. Both decent players who should do well for them, and get more playing time for SFC than they would for us. Wasn’t gutted to lose either, but they’re solid players at this level.

I was pretty unimpressed to be honest, but he never really got a run in the side to establish himself either under Bloomfield or Dodds. As far as kicking people a lot, no, not really from what I saw - and I think this was one of the problems - I mean sure, a player should play how the manager...

Yeah, not that I’m suggesting this is some secret radical concept by any means, but Bloomfield cut his teeth as part of the managerial team under Ainsworth, who used to bang on about his “generals”, five or so senior players within the squad who were supposed to set an example within the group...

Lonwijk was good for us (obvs why Bloomfield signed him), decent capture.

Orient apparently after Tyreeq Bakinson. He's an OK player but we only really ever used him as squad backup, and probably never got the best out of him, so probably best for all concerned if he moves on.

New kits. I like the home (bearing in mind there's only so much you can do with quarters). The yellow one is basically a Mansfield kit though. Don't like the green and white at all. We had green and white stripes last time, no idea why we're going with those colours again.

Our ex-keeper Franco Ravazzoli has gone to Blackpool. Decent signing for them, he's not spectacular but is generally pretty consistent. A couple more signings announced on our end: 1) Taylor Allen (CB) from Walsall - as a player with solid experience of being in a promotion cert team who...

nah, as sad as it is, I can see the franchise getting to the championship in short order. Warne is a very good manager (sadly) and if they are signing pretty much whoever the fuck they want (by lower league standards) then it’s only a matter of time. All I ask is that we are in the same...

Armando Junior Quitirna (winger) just signed from Crawley. Can't remember him personally, so no idea if he's any good or not, but at least on their forum CTFC fans seem sorry he's gone.

*doh - duplicate post deleted*

Yeah, don’t think I ever saw him play to be honest (not even in The Tinpot). Surprised you haven’t re-signed Hartridge, I doubt he’ll get a sniff with us. I guess he’ll go out on loan somewhere otherwise. Sonny Bradley, who did very well on loan to us last season, has just signed for Lincoln...

we make our first signing of the window - James Tilley from AFCW. Not really sure what to make of that one.

Brandon Hanlan went to Doncaster in the end. Fair enough and good luck to the lad, he was OK but I wasn’t that worried that we loaned him out last season and it was obvious he wasn’t coming back.

Yeah, they did. But in Simons’ case at least, by the time he reached us we’d started to turn into this really weird, uber-negative and defensive side - which we weren’t with Morley. I can imagine that Schumacher will play a lot more attacking football, which will suit Simons better.

Mixed bag for us to be honest, but we were a team in transition when he came in - trying to change too much at once. Looked good in spells, so if he can up his consistency you've got a player, but he wasn't on it every game. Morley was a lot better for us.

In fairness to Hanlan we played him more as a winger than an out and out striker. He’s more of a footballer than Loft (a low benchmark I know) but then Loft would get the kind of goal that only lumps get, so it’s swings and roundabouts. But I can’t pretend I was devastated to see Hanlan go...

Yes (other than departures) but contracts don't even run out till the end of the month, so not worried. Looks like a bunch of clubs are in for Brandon Hanlan (Vale, Donny, Cobblers). I think he'd be a decent signing. On his day, he's unplayable...just that that day only comes around one game...

They pulled a Wycombe - off to a flyer (though they were even more flying than we were) and choked abysmally in the second half. At least they made the final I suppose. Congratulations to AFCW, least it's not another bloody Northern team.

As much as Jones is a dick and I’m glad to be shot of him, congratulations to Charlton after years of punching below their weight, dodgy owners, etc etc. Credit to Orient too, with a new sugar daddy and a reinforced squad then they could be a solid bet for another promotion shot next season.

I doubt it. It's not his fault, he's barely had a sniff of a chance with us, which is probably unfair as he's not really had time to settle into the team. But when he *has* come on, he hasn't looked very good, and he's been sent off twice (2 yellows rather than straight red, but still). I...
