Anybody know how much longer we'll have to wait till we see this guy?

Again, anymore clues on this forgotten guy?

I think he must be stuck at the airport!!

Don't really know where to put this, but Tommy Berwick has left Corby today after a falling out with the management. Corby's top scorer, a local player with a UCL background.

Not saying we need any players but there wont be many better players unattached locally.

Not sure our budget would stretch to him, but guess we could start a Just Giving appeal to cover it ;)
Another striker possibly wouldn`t hurt as we did look a little light when Dunks missed a couple of games, Ben IMO will be used as an impact player & it`s worked so far, any news on Alfie & his tweeked hammy. Sorry that sounds like some distasteful film set in a zoo.

That would be my feeling although I understand that Parky is great mates with him.

Regardless of how good he may be, considering we've got Alfie and Dunks, do we really need another top striker? Yes, it's nice to have three, but I wouldn't like to be in Starms position having to leave one on the bench each week assuming they stay injury-free. I'd rather spend any surplus on defensive players!

Parky appears to be mates with everyone!

Three up top? Alfie on the right side (we know he loves it ;) ).

If our 2 stay fit then no we don`t, but if we lost one for a few games that may change, though we won the games Dunks missed, hopefully Alfie is ok after coming off Tue. IMO we have been lucky so far this season with the amount of games we have played and the availability of most of the regular players. The only area we have struggled is the center backs, not many games with all 3 fit and a few with only 1.
