It's the ex-Magotsfield one. Looks like they're assembling a half-decent squad for that level - quite a few ex-Truro players there. Not overly fussed about Pugh. Very tidy football but was prone to plenty of mistakes I recall. |

Looks like they may push Salisbury this year for the top especially as Salisbury have lost a few of their better players who were there on loan last year, their strike force were scoring goals for fun but both gone back to their clubs i believe.

Speaking of Salisbury, anyone know if Franklyn Clarke stayed on for next season? I can't see him back with us, his last spell was very disappointing.

Think he's gone to Blackfield and Langley. Heard somewhere they offered his £500/week plus a full-time job!

Are we expecting a striker to join us any time soon? I thought Lewis Powell (this one), would be the type of forward Laird would be after, and we've already missed out on Toby Holmes and Goodship as well. We seem to be assembling a good squad this summer but as always, we seem to be a striker away from that missing piece in the puzzle.

I was hoping we would have a look at Lewis Powell, although I didn't think he would leave Mangotsfield. |

To me there is a lot of question marks over them. I think we are 3/4 players from a good squad that is going to get us play offs/ top half as seems to be the aim. I hope I'm proven wrong! UTM |

Question marks in what you can expect a lot of what I'm looking at as squad players . I like a good spine to date,Chris Weale, Gary Bowles you know what you get from them. The rest I say question marks remain like Ormerod, Vance. It's early on still but speaking as of now those are my concerns. Too often in recent years we have been physically over powered bullied almost looking at hopefully rectifying that. Not often I remembered being out footballed as such. You add Toby Down, Nathan Walker the whole picture changes. |

I have no question marks over Vance, how many times did he win man of the match? Fair enough Omerod has a point to prove. In Tom Blair and Ed Bastick we have two good, quick wingers. I am confident Billy Lowes will do well and Ollie Griggs had a good run of games at the end of the season.
It is a better squad than started last season.

He's a fans favourite? He came in to replace Lewis Morgan if you compare both players and there win ratio in a Magpies shirt no contest. The 2nd half of the season was poor compared to the first and that was poor. Please believe me I'm not singling Vance here. I'm glad he's staying to be part of the squad. Ed Bastick he's one in question can he handle the step up? He was most certainly one with a question mark over. Griggs was very much in/ out of the team ( Injuries didn't help) I'm far from convinced. Brave move giving him a contract by Craig and Trev however I like brave and time will tell if a good call. It's just my mere opinion as I said earlier I hope my fears are totally misplaced. UTM |
