Summer 2022 Signings

[Lord Kitchener]

Scott Burgess did play for us once, or am I mistaken for a change?

[Lord Kitchener]

Maybe not!

[Iron-awe]

Burgess Meredith played the penguin a few times.

We had Cameron Burgess, Doh!

Up to four decentish signings this week is really not going to be enough.
It really looks like we’ll be scratting for scraps again if we get into the final week of June and squad incomplete.
KH couldn’t persuade ’em to come here in January …
I haven’t bought a season pass but had intended to be a fairly regular attender but, in all honesty, I don’t think I can face another season of fifth rate sub-mediocrity.
Whether I attend semi-regularly or extremely rarely will, in all likelihood, be decided in the next five days.
Sigh.

Be the odd game for us Les, but North Ferriby are at tier 9 now, and a lot easier to get to from Cottingham train as well, so ok for a few pints). Dead cheap admission too, so we’ll watch a few games there. Les Hare, their owner, is a top bloke too, he’s put his heart, soul & money into that club over the years. Maybe he could do some training events….

I’ll not be attending many, if any games. Away games more likely than home games but I doubt we’ll even be able to fill the bench at season start. We’ll have the usual 3/4 out injured in pre-season (Odds on Hallam?)

[mistertonmick]

talk on Twitter we are after a 17 year old goalkeeper from Mansfield to compete with Foster, unbelievable if true, but from a respected source.

I didn’t spell Source, Sauce though

Grow a sense of humour Mick.

[mistertonmick]

I have a sense of humour, just testing you out.

[WonderGoals]

According to twitter were after a striker who’s been plying his trade in national league and has scored a mind blowing 13 goals in 7, yes SEVEN season’s at that level.

The striker in question, whoever he is has been described as “shite”

I think it’s fair to say that we should all be expecting a relegation battle next season. I can’t see anything else. We currently have very little experienced players in the squad and one of them is Hallam who’s never fit.

Nuttall and O’neil upfront as it stands. Oh and now no Miller, we have one RB in Rowe who will have to cover in at CB at times because we only have 3 of those on the books.

God above.

The person who said he was shite was one of our fans who has never seen him play but said he was popular with his previous clubs supporters

[WonderGoals]

My fault for not paying attention.

[Northumbiron]

No, you’re right. It’s still a bag o’ shite!

[Pat O’Cake]

Shite players would be an improvement on what we had last season though so look on the bright side.

Summer of 69 signings would be better, Terry Heath, Nigel Cassidy, George Kerr and we could take a punt on a young Kevin Keegan.

[Northumbiron]

I think that was more like 68 I-A, but you’re right.

What wouldn’t we give to be able to choose from Deere, Welbourne and Atkin in defence?

[SST]

I’ve heard a rumour we are after Jake Hyde at Wrexham. Regular scorer at this level but missed quite a lot of last season through injury.

[Northumbiron]

Well that Cinderella fits the glass slipper!

Yep and Steve Deere started off up front where I remember him banging a few goals in before he dropped into defence.

[lesgeo]

I think Deere was a CB – tried out as a forward – and then returned to defence.

Saw Deere at Walsall circa 68 where he played left wing (left midfield for our younger viewers) Took my mate, a Manc., to see our star player, Dave Sloan, only to find we’d sold him and replaced him with George Kerr.

[Awaywego]

Talking to Greeno on Saturday still big and nasty, said he’d have a word with Cam and Neenan about coming back.

I don’t do Twitter WG, only the SUFC one on the off chance there’s something on there that’s not restaurant or season ticket based. Where should I be looking for the more interesting stuff that you find?

Spoke to him a few times back in my heating oil delivery days, he lived out at Keadby and was great to chat too about Scunny back in the seventies and footy in general. Complained his knees had gone but then again that’s one of the many physical problems the older professional players have to contend with.
