Sounds like Scarfy is busy and the large lady is preparing to sing. The most important things is they are given support when and if the T's are crossed and the i are dotted.
Two academy boys have just had their names erased from the manifest for the trip to Spain and will instead train on the beach at camber sands.
I can feel it in my water we are near.0 -

Just heard the announcements have been impacted by the train strike. They did warn last week there could be impacts the evening before and the morning after5

That’s a little bit concerning. But perhaps explains why there’s been a delay. Hopefully Garner still gets to pick the backroom staff he wants.Callumcafc said:Garner’s assistant has been appointed head coach at Swindon.3 -

2 less than last year isn't it? Was 22 last season, although Morgan has become a qualifying player too.Cafc43v3r said:
The article said reduced to 20 next season and was a year old. What ever it is, assuming it's 1 less than last year, we have six spaces left as of today.cafcfan1990 said:
Cheers. I thought the initial plan was to reduce it to 21 this season and then 20 from next season. Wasn't sure if that had been scrapped. I think full-backs is the way to go for the U21's.Cafc43v3r said:

Do we know if the squad cap is 20 or 21 players? If we go for 2 players in each position plus Clare and Aneke then we’d only 1 or 2 of those to be U21. I’d be content with using Henry as 6th, especially as we’ve got Clare too. Although it’s a long old season and I don’t think having one of Morgan or Gilbey as 6th choice would be a bad idea. I’d probably go for the U21 at full back.NabySarr said:
Agree if we get Reed we would need 1 more that will chip in with goals. Then would like to move Gilbey and Morgan on and then just use Henry as the 6th midfield option as he’s young so doesn’t count to squad list. No point using up a squad spot on a 6th choice when we probably need it elsewherecafcfan1990 said:
Is there much difference between a 433 and 4231? Personally I think the only difference is the 3 CM's, with a 4231 having two holding and then relying on one being a lot more attacking. If we sign Reed, I think we just need one more CM, who has to be capable of chipping in. But we'd have 7 players who see themselves as midfielders so will have to offload one.randy andy said:As soon as I heard the Reed link I assumed it meant that Garner could possibly go with a 4-2-3-1 system. We haven't got the players for a 4-3-3 and would need to bring in 2 or 3 attackers to make it work. It's a hard (and expensive) position to fill.
However we already have at least 2 players who could fulfil the 1 in that system, plus players like DJ and CBT would could fit into the wide positions of the 3. You then have Dobson/Reed/JFC filling your 2, you already need new fullbacks, so you bring in attacking ones, and you can player Frasier as the middle of the 3, so you just need to bring in competition.
So with a 4-3-3 you need to bring in 2-3 attackers, whilst with 4-2-3-1 you need to bring in midfield cover/competition, a far easier position to fill. It's the same number of players, but a bigger pool to choose from.
We know that Garner wants to play possession football, there's definitely an argument that can be better achieved with the 4-2-3-1.
Plus you have to consider who can step up from the U23s and who is coming through behind them. Is it easier to build a 4-3-3 or a 4-2-3-1 over the coming years, and which gets the best out of the talent that is coming through.0 -
Swindon’s journalist on Scott Lindsey. Set mouths to foaming.1

Quite funny really as the tweets I read were the same as ours getting Garner. 3/4th choice, how many turned us down, cheap option lolScoham said:Swindon’s journalist on Scott Lindsey. Set mouths to foaming.0 -

Would he ever have come if there was an offer for him to take the top job at Swindon or did we stall for that long that Swindon decided he was their man during that time?
We really need to get a team that Garner wants in just as urgently as we need to sign a load of players.2 -
Looks like we're set to sign Eoghan O'Connell (Centre-Back) on a Free Transfer according to Pete O'Rourke
Think he was a decent player at this level for them.
Signed a one year deal last summer with Rochdale by the looks of things, wonder if he stayed there on the promise they'd bounce straight back and he'd sign for longer - That hasn't happens so he's left.
Only 26-years old ... Right Footed though3 -
That’s no Reed or Johnson.
*Googles Eoghan O’Connell* (I’m sure I read his name on here recently?)0
