Do you think we have left to sign and where?
I think we need some big chokeslammer in the middle.
A winger and some back up defenders would be nice!?
Thoughts chaps!?

That trialists at the back last night. Now he was a big lump of a fella. Came on late in the second half so did not get much of a look at him but could thump the ball well forward.

I know that it seems legal these days to pull, push and throw your opponent to the ground in the penalty area, when the ball comes in from a corner or free kick, but I think this is still frowned upon... ...but only because the hysterical screaming, rolling over and over, and other melodramatic actions of the choke slammed player would probably pose more a danger to himself than the choke slamming. |

We need a big ugly thug of a centre half to combat the likes of Alfreton and Southport. |

Given that we seem intent on signing Kidderminster Harriers cast-offs who couldn't get into an outfit relegated from the league we aspire to join, I don't s'pose we could start looking in a different direction?
Eh?

Cast offs?
Preston played 18 times last season, but spent a fair time injured. Highly thought of, despite a concern about injuries.
Not sure who else you’re referring to. Bit hyperbolic.

Would rather we had a centre back who actually passed it to a team mate rather than just 'thump it well forward'! Totally agree. For me, Simon Davy's signing of Janos Kovacs was the beginning of the end of the old Hereford United. Whilst a real presence, all he was able to do was kick the ball to the opposition. He couldn't relive pressure. He couldn't pass the ball (or when he did, I couldn't bare to watch). A complete dead weight, taking a large fraction of the playing budget. Give me a defense that are capable of moving the ball out any day. Enables pressure to be absorbed and then returned. |

Attention to detail. |

Ceesay, Phillips, Stanley, Freemantle and Cameron for starters. What do you expect? Quality is much of a muchness from the top of the Southern prem to bottom of the conference in that most players can bring something to a squad if fit and motivated. We are working within the parameters of budget and location (training and matches) so there is an obvious crossover. |

Ceesay, Phillips, Stanley, Freemantle and Cameron for starters. All signed last season, not this one, and all no longer with the club. As White Lightning says, "attention to detail". |

Yes, which clearly illustrates the futility of doing it in the first place. Still haven't seen the league table of budgets anywhere. I wouldn't swallow that nonsense if I were you! |
