If we are playing 3-5-2, I think we need a centre back, a centre midfielder and a striker. Heath, Dolman, Farrell, Westbrook, Gyasi and Fairlamb must be retained.

Leon Mettam has left Kings Lynn. Have always rated him highly

Second spell at Corby? Good signing that, did well at Banbury last season.

A damn sight better than he did for us!!

He wasn't that bad, was coming back from a serious knee injury wasn't he? Nearly scored the goal that took us up that season. Still, a decent player for that level.

I won't expect us to name any signings until 1st July when the reg window opens - even though a lot of clubs in our division are already doing business. Hitchin have signed ex-Luton Matty Spring for example.

He would have been OK if Lewis Leslie hadn’t given him a ‘Corby Kiss’ in that goal celebration and don’t forget he scored when coming on late for us in the Playoff Final, although clearly not being fully match fit.

Was the best of a bad bunch that was signed in the run at the end of that season. You could tell he had a bit of quality about him and if he had of stayed a bit longer and had a pre season, he may well of gone on to be a key player for the club
