Potential New Players

[Prof. Frink]

Any idea who? an what positions?
and if they will be here more than 3 games?

"Details will be announced once confirmation has been received from the League that the registration has been accepted."

and in answer to your last question, probably not if you carry on booing them before they've hardly touched the ball or when the MoM announcement is made.

[Prof. Frink]

i do not appreciate comments like that, when they are a blatant untruth.
i have never booed any hednesford player in all the years i have been supporting them.
my comment about players staying 3 games was meant to be taken light heartedly.
steve, whilst i appreciate you must get hacked off with somethings stated on the message board and actions at keys park, i do not want to be included in the "boo boys" brigade and im disappointed that you infer that i am!

I took it that you were from your post in another thread this afternoon. That was before you edited it of course.

You have to admit it did sound that way reading your original post. Just a misunderstanding then.

The word on our website is that you've snapped up Wayne Dyer from Bromsgrove. He was at Hinckley before (where he was well loved) and he has been a stalwart for the Rovers for the last few years. He is also an international and World Cup goal scorer (albeit in qualifying) having scored Montserrat's only World Cup goal ever!

Midfield player, very skillful, great passer of the ball some say he is a bit lightweight but if he has people around him who can graft and muscle he'll transform games. Our general consensus (http://bromsgroverovers.org.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=1582) is that he's a big loss for us.

One of fans has a special (I think Montserratian) flag which says "Never fear, Dyer's here" on it which we inherited from Hinckley. If Wayne has left then I'll try to message the user on our forum who got it to see if we can arrange to get it to you. If anyone would like to take responsibility for this tradition then please do send me a message. I'm sure "World Cup Wayne" would live to see it follow him to you guys.

Well what can I say, this post has restored my faith in true football supporters. Well done sir!

[Prof. Frink]

i added that bit on the end not edited the post!
so as you can see from that post i never stated i booed.
yes it was a misunderstanding

With 7 days fast approaching is there any news on players coming and going. Has Briscoe signed,has Wololiscroft gone and have these others signed from various clubs??? Whats the state of play???

Or can anyone paste a link for the Cannock Advertiser,they will probably know before we do!:rolleyes:

I was musing today that at each Pitmen game I manage to get to - I reckon about 6-8 per season, I'm aiming to be there Saturday week - I have to learn what new players look like, about 5 or 6 I think since I last saw them about 5-6 weeks ago.

Conversely the (successful, despite the pre-season result at Keys Park!) Welsh team I watch more regularly still features in its starting line-up 6 players who were in the team when I first saw them 4 years ago with several others in the squad/subs/fringe to whom the same applies

Haven't got the time to research but I would guess only Ross Adams has played for Hednesford throughout that period?

One factor is that a transfer deadline applies in the Welsh Prem which mitigates against so many player-movements but surely it can't help that the Pitmen can't even keep a settled squad for a month let alone a season?

This isn't necessarily a criticism, just an observation, but we do seem to have taken on many players in recent seasons and given them a few games to see if they're good enough rather than using pre-season to do that? - and of course we do lose them to higher levels as soon as they start to show they're decent players!

A more regular viewer than me made the point in pre-season 06-07 that the squad would no doubt change dramatically during the course of that season and he has been proved right both then and since

[HTFC4Life]

I think that you are right in what you say we do tend to have alot of players come in but also leave the club. However I do believe that we would have had a more settled team this year, as during pre-season we appeared to have a good squad and results were reflecting that. However due to the amount of injuries we have had, it has meant that more players have had to be brought in. We have been unlucky to suffer the amount of injuries we have had, it has felt like one player after the other at times. But hopefully those who are injured will be back to full fitness asap

[Glyn]

Fair comment.

At least we are able to bring in players, unlike these poor souls...

This may sound silly but a lot of clubs are having more than their fair share of injuries this season.
Could it be that the grass this year is thicker than usual because of the wet summer?
I have noticed players slipping this pulling muscles ,hamstrings etc

only a theory but proper warming up,stretching ,warm downs also helps stop these


I personally think we miss Fosdick who was the star at the start of the season and could play forward as well as back=perhaps a lesson could be learnt here and we look to sign 'utility'players
