New signings

[Bod]

what positions do these new players take up ?
we must be heading towards a reserve team now:D

[Dobba]

It's just good to finally have enough players to have a decent bench, no offence to those players who have been there in recent weeks, but the experience we can now have in the starting line-up aswell as to bring on can only be a good thing.

Brisco - Full back
Arnolin - Midfield
Hanna - Forward

As previously stated on another thread Neil Brisco will have problems getting off work to play but for the next few weeks the problem has been resolved which at least will give us further time to continue the search for a full back.

Sebastian Arnolin and Chris Hall will be on loan until 1st December (incusive).

But will they stay if they can't get a game?
Also we've got players starting to come back after injuries, what are we going to do with them all?

[Buster4England]

Sounds good. Thanks for the info.

I'm not too worried about what we would do with them all whenfit lol its better to have that problem than the problem that we have had the last few weeks with not having enough players.

Hello Dobba, I would agree that Brisco is an experienced player but Sebastien Arnolin and Chris Hanna are not much past youth team age. I am sure they are very good technically but they may find the Unibond Premier a little more physical than what they are used to!
It is often easy to fall into the trap of thinking that players who have been Football League Academy players will be much better than any young player that comes through our own ranks but this is not always the case, (many of our youth team players are ex-academy anyway!). I remember a couple of seasons ago when we were recommended Danny Heron, (from Mansfield Town I think), to solve our striking problem. To be fair to the lad he was not given much of a chance to prove his worth but I don't think he would have ever made the impact that our own Reece Styche has in his early appearances.

Arnolin is Rubbish, thats why you've got him!!!!

Probably play well against pub teams!!!

[MikeM]

Don't criticise pub teams till you're old enough to go into one.

a couple of postings on the stafford board have said that Arnolin doesnt look good enough to start games in the conference but looked useful coming off the bench. maybe dropping down a couple of divisions will be more his standard. they also said that Arnolin doesnt speak any english which could cause some of the same problems that starbuck had with mario last season.....

[Stafford Rangers]

even if he was english he'd be struggling with what you yam yams say!!!!!

Oh Numb Nuts is back!
