New signings:
Ross Oulton
Tolani Omotola

Nice to see some action quickly after the new manager has arrived.

Happy that we’ve signed Ross. Unless I’m mistaking him for someone else, I seem to remember him using a lot cheating tactics when he played against us, if that benefits us, with him winding up opposition players, then I’m all for it! But most importantly, it gives us some experience in the side, which many have said we’ve needed for a long time.

Sure there is only one Ross Oulton so an excellent signing. It’s a long time since that FA Cup game v Concord 17th September 2016!!! when he ran the game until putting in an unnecessary challenge and getting badly injured, was never the same player for Diamonds after that. Come across him a few times in recent years and he can still certainly do a job as long as injury free.

Adam Harrison signs for Bromsgrove. Hopefully ES has some keeper contacts

Jake Duffy, cracking signing that

Probably the best signing in a few seasons, someone who has been an integral part in successful teams all decade now, a statement of intent from our new manager! Already shaping up to be a decent squad.

Add Gary Mulligan to the list

I hope we have a few youngsters in the squad to mix with experience. Mulligan is now 40 and Duffy 36. And Oulton 34.

We do, all the players we retained so far are youngsters
