The Voodooguru Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 I know you're not on the board Gary but now you're not we can't get that point of view as there is another 2 way communication wall up. It was more about how trivial you were saying that it's part of the process yet home grown international players in key positions aren't easily replaced. Les said he spoke to 88 players last year and we still were a bit thin on the ground up front. I'm honestly looking forward to the coming weeks to see who we sign up. Keep the faith. UTT The race is not always to the swift nor the battle to the strong, but thats the way to bet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were building a team around local talent , but they appear to want to ply their trade away from d.p. I dont know know whats happened or is still happening but it is very worrying.

Playing staff are only one part of It. Off field, financial matters are also part of it as are many other considerations. but how can we plan when we have no continuity in the playing staff? i understand players come and go for a variety of reasons ,but we seem to be excellent at letting our best players move on. its ok saying we cant lock em up ,but there must be an under current or something else going on at dp that i am not privvy to.

What is an under current at the club? well things cant be too rosey when we have a higher turnover of playing staff than mcdonalds. at the moment.

They were as good as relegated long before they were short on numbers. There was a mini revival with half a bench that made it look respectable.

townie88 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 My concern is that to speak to 88 players in one year. Shows an air of desperation from the club and more importantly lack of interest to play at our level by local lads? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ivans82 Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Things were much easier in the past where you signed a player and he was yours for life unless transferred .You had the same Team year after year with a few additions . It must be a nightmare now with players freedom of contract and i for one wouldn`t know where to start when planning ahead .In the past it was argued that Clubs and Directors ran the game and had too much influence and it was detrimental to the game , but now the pendulum has swung far too much the other way .

These short term contracts and player merry go round "every" off season is a bit of a farce IMO. it makes rebuilding very difficult. Theres just no continuity.

Ginock1 Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Which is why it appears that Town are looking to identify players then sign them on 2 year deals wherever possible. It's a policy clearly. Some great news on the way btw player & coach wise , so keep the faith. Utt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlisle1921 Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Yes ive just been speaking to someone in town who helps out behind the scenes and although not given full details it sounds like we have already signed a quality replacement for callum! More of last seasons squad signed up too including a coyple of the more experienced ones. Nice to get some good news after the last 2 disastrous days!
