The excitement is killing me. Our new manager (who got sacked by Oldham before he got them relegated from league 1) is obviously using all his contacts within the game to bring in a mixture of youngsters & experienced pros.
His elevation of goal keeper Stephen Shuttleworth from the under 11's as back up for 14 year old Jonathan Maxted shows the genius he is. I also agree we don't need a striker. If we keep 46 clean sheets & don't score, that's 46 points & zero goal difference which should see us comfortably finish 4th bottom which would be a fantastic achievement.
Pre-season seems to be going well, after testing matches against the likes of Frickley Athletic & Rossington miners welfare, Harry Rednapp will probably be ringing "Dickov" for a few tips !
John Ryan may be losing his marbles, but he certainly got the best man for the job.
Another week closer.

Excellent Bob, think this mirrors most people's sentiments!
Still no official word about season tickets being available to collect either (although I have heard they're ready from someone totally unrelated).
Must say the official site has been sh ite during the off season, so much for fan engagement!
