Amazes me how odds compilers can't wait to get going.
Mid table mediocrity for us is a huge leap forward sadly

We've got half a squad as it stands. Crazy we are second favourites.

 

[The_Boss]

Highest turnover in L2; get outbid dramatically by Notts County. Don’t like this trying to be sustainable lark, need to just go mental and have a 10m wage budget.

Big wage budgets get you nothing!

 

[valefan16]

New signing imminent! Got to be Waters or Miller I imagine.

 

[valefan16]

Emmanuel Oyeleke sings from Aldershot, won their player of the year and is a midfielder, other than that... no idea!

 

[darren gregory]

Not quite Kristian Dennis but in reality Aldershot were only about 7 places below us and he was player of the season. Probably ok squad member

 

[Son of Cod]

Elliott Whitehouse being linked with Grimsby and Mansfield. He's about Grimsby's level but Mansfield should be looking for better if they see themselves as promotion candidates.

A wild swing and a miss there from g_b. Nice try though, keep it up.

Looking into it he seemed very highly rated in the National League so may feature a bit more than we think, a midfield three of him, Joyce + Waters with Hanno and Wozza out wide?

I hear he carries a lovely tune. Baritone.

 

[Guernica]

Nathan Arnold is another departure via mutual consent. Been talk of him quitting football but would still be useful for a non league side of he wishes.

It was genuine, he's a decent mid-table player who might improve into something a little better. Surely Grimsby fans don't seriously think they're going to be challenging for promotion next season?

 

[T.A]

Brian Jensen has joined us as a goalkeeper coach. Good man to have around. Should never have got rid of him IMO

 

[Dave-Vale]

Sounds like a decent signing this does. Seems we’ve been watching him for a while. I expect a few more signings from the leagues below us. If he comes and is half as good as Hannant has been since January then he will do well for us.

Box to box midfielder who can attack and defend well. He can also cover at right back.

 

[The_Viking_Magpie]

Ex Notts and Grimsby , Paul Bolland was a box to box midfielder.

I know what the term is meant to mean, but not sure it does in lower leagues

 

[Buxton Vale]

Promising signing, and another weak area covered. Weren't MK interested in him?

Not sure, got to be honest when it was announced I had a Wikipedia and am quite pleased with it delving further into it.

Had Rudge watching him for months and if he’s good enough for JR then that will do me!

 

[Luke Imp]

Nathan Arnold is another departure via mutual consent. Been talk of him quitting football but would still be useful for a non league side of he wishes.

A shame, but expected.

He's certainly spoken about what he planned on doing after 2018/19 and sounded as though he was going to stop after his contract here ended and go into teaching. Whether that's been brought forward now, only time will tell. Also seems as though his heart is set on raising mental health awareness, which is understandable given his troubles.

He'll certainly do a job at PT level, whether that's back at Alfreton or elsewhere but I also think he'd be an asset to any of the NL sides. He rarely travels too far from his family, so Chesterfield would seem a decent fit.

Ipswich and Gateshead. Two games he'll be remember for.

 

[GTFCfish]

Oh I can think of another one he'll be remembered for:

 

[Chris FGR]

Never liked Arnold.

 

[Indian Dan]

Well, if this thread has told us anything it’s how fucking norvern this poxy league is.

Gravy on chips ffs

 

[Moomin]

We had Oyeleke a couple of years back. Was raw back then but I liked him and glad he’s made it back into the league. Lots of energy and likes to run with ball, plus his full name is stupendous.

 

[Boz]

The National League might be your sort of place, rammed with sides from dahn saarf

 

[Indian Dan]

The south will rise again!

Or a nice chip buttie. Mmm

Ha funny you should say that as yesterday we had Dinner at Papa's and I had fish chips and gravy, lovely stuff.

It’s odd isn’t it. Impression I get is that they genuinely think they’ll be up there. Could be wrong, but can’t see it myself - had an appalling squad last season and not convinced they’ll improve on it too much

 

[1884 Belmont]

The south will rise again!

To be fair, League Two was horrifically southern last time we were here, so it's nice to have a few northern sides to play. Seriously, the National League has about 13 in and around London next season - glad we've dodged that bullet.

Maybe Swindon would prefer that division? No, in fairness, I wouldn't wish that on anyone except MK Dons.

 

[PaulHaddock]

Any proof for these claims?

Grits, Catfish and Collard Greens on sale at Swindon next season?

 

[pontoonlew]

Notts County fans, can you just summarise with the words 'We're spending loads of cash, we're excited, Dennis and Hemmings, our chairman tweets a lot. Sven and Sol' so the rest of us don't have to scroll through pages of the same old shite?

 

[The_Viking_Magpie]

Love that !
