Squad Update now on the OWS:

Jack Bowen re-signs after spending last season with Biggleswade Town at Step 3.

Players that are yet to commit to us for the new season:

Luke Fairlamb
Joel Gyasi
Ryan Robbins
Spencer Weir-Daley

I believe at least one has signed for a Step 2 club. I would not be downhearted if SWD or RR did not sign as we have Diamond, Bowen, Dean and Lorraine. But we do need to sign quality replacements for Gyasi and Fairlamb.

Gutted that Fairlamb and Gyasi haven't yet re-signed. Losing one is a blow but to lose both would be really tough to take. I think in the back of my mind I half expected to lose at least 1.

If I could take my pick of realistic replacements I'd like to see Jordan Crawford from Corby in a Diamonds shirt.

Weir-Daley and Robbins are typical journeymen at our level and never seem to spend a great deal of time at any one club and I expect Robbins to team up again with Drury at Stamford.

If Joel and Luke don’t sign and seek new pastures then replacements for these two will be a priority.

Onwards and upwards.

I'd be worried if Gyasi didn't re-sign; he was one of the best players last season, and you'd have to go quite a way to find someone with his ability on the ball at this level.

If he stays I'll pay for all his drinks for the season!

Luke Fairlamb and Joel Gyasi have be outstanding players for us, gutted that they both haven't re-signed, hope they'll both re-sign on. (So they can both continue to be outstanding players for us)

I would quite like Ryan Robbins to stay on, because he's done great for us, he can turn a game around, (just like that) and he's got a good goals per game ratio for us.

I wouldn't be that to downhearted if SWD didn't sign on.

Wonder who we'll going to get for the 1st league game, have a feeling 1st league game will be at home.

If you want to buy him drinks next season you may need to go to foreign exchange to get the correct currency.

I understand that Luke Fairlamb is training with Brackley.

I understand that Luke Fairlamb is training with Brackley.

I think this one's been rumbling for a while. Brackley is the obvious destination for any non-league footballers in the county that get the opportunity to test themselves at a higher level.

I think Luke's an excellent player - personally my player of the season last year and definitely one of the most talented players we've had on our books since re-forming. Do I think he'll be able to command a regular starting place in a side pushing for promotion to Step 1? I'm not sure.
