Pre-season

Bloody optimists!
Not finished yet, Sanders, appears perma-injured, Left back Usain Bolt not up to muster, According to you lot Edun will be off for a lot of money (we live in hope), Maguire oldish and injury prone, young lad keeper, hopefully Montsma and Jackson retained. A dozen or so signings might see us through.

Can't see those signings happening though.
Very much end of the road for us having a good team.
Montsma and Jackson will probably go too.
And McGrandles.

As Mr Lydon said, no future.
 
Be interesting to see the team picked today for match at Norwich.

Yep, I think Kerslake said it would be a stronger side out today at Norwich? Though the Gainsborough piece mentioned a full squad playing at the Northolme tomorrow. I imagine it will be a very young side out at Gainsborough.
 
Disappointing that it’s behind closed doors at their Academy Centre, with no streams either …. their game v Kings Lynn on Friday was live on YouTube.

Oxford United are having a good pre-season. 3 wins out of 3. Beat Oxford City 3-2 in their first match, then Salford City while in a training camp near Bournemouth 4-1, and tonight a 9-0 win against Hayes and Yeading. They were right up there at the end of last season. Theyve lost atkinson and clare to Bristol City and Charlton respectively for undisclosed fees in the last couple of weeks. So they'll have a bit of money to pump back in you would think. I think they'll be up there again this season.

Except Long, Melbourne and Longdon are pretty unlikely to figure in a first choice match squad
