SQUAD HARMONY?

I think, or at least hope, that the players currently not getting much game time recognise how it's very much a squad game these days. It's not like the starting 11 has stayed the same all season and I'm sure it will change as injuries and form have an impact.

If anything, our squad is too small. I wouldn't worry too much about players kicking off about not starting. Any of the small first team squad showing any aptitude in training will be given a chance.

Personally, Shaun Pearson would be the first name on my teamsheet, if I was Shaun I wouldn't be happy, he may choose to move on in June but the competition between the three first team centre backs can only be good for the club in the short to medium term.

A little disappointed we haven't managed to sign Brett Williams on loan from Stevenage instead of our rather pathetic but wadded rivals Forest Green. I suppose we'll manage with a goal shy kid from Birmingham's under 21's instead.

really?  a goal shy kid under 21? any need for that dig at him mate? if you'd have stayed sober enough you'd have seen actually he's a decent player and already made big contributions to gtfc.

Have you actually watched Jones? He brings a lot to the team with his pace and clever movement. Williams has had one good season and he's 28 in a week.

The kid: Played 3, scored 0.

Brett Williams: 114 (45 as sub)      48 goals

If you was impartial, where would your money be? An almost one in two striker, proven at this level or a kid from Birmingham yet to score a goal? Merely widens the gap in quality between the clubs. FGR are a pathetic village club, backed by a loony with money to burn, it isn't a criticism of GTFC. Just a point to be made. I'm not one for burying my head in the sand, league position says it all and will do after 46.

Half of which came in one season and he's failed to replicate that form at any other point. Just because a player is available doesn't mean he should be bought, he wouldn't fit in to the mould favoured by PH of players who will work hard off the ball, he's been pretty lazy every time I've seen him. Let FGR splash more cash, they're probably spending double what we spend and I bet we'll still finish above them.

Hope you're right mate, we're on the same team.

Scored less than LJL last season and I think we know what the reaction would be on here if FGR had signed him!

I wish we'd signed a striker on loan who'd scored goals in the Conference before moving to League 2 and struggling. That would have definitely ended with happy supporters and a new fans favourite and nobody ending up at Tranmere.

Another player that has seemingly signed for FGR because they've offered him a wedge of cash, hardly the most inspiring place is it? League positions at the minute in our league aren't really worth anything, it's that tight.

I'd take Jones over a player who did have a proven record at this level but in recent times hasn't exactly torn any trees up. Some might disagree but I've seen a far better attitude and footballing awareness in Jones than I have in the alleged injured Bogle...
