AdamStag - A few of our fans believe that Jamie Reid has been offered out to other clubs, any truth in this? He was rumoured to have been close to coming back to us in January before Clough took over. I don't expect him to come back here though seeing as he has just bought a house in Nottingham, maybe a target for Notts?

I really really like him as a lad, he puts lots of effort in and you can see he enjoys the game. Sadly for me, he’s just not good enough for league football - and i hate saying that as you can see how hard he tries.

For me he’s probably a top half conference forward, where his pace and speed would pick off tiring defenders.

I’d expect him to move on, but i’d genuinely wish him all the best if he did so.

Alright mate calm down.

Im interested in the league and the teams in it? I dont think there is anything untoward at Chesterfield, I'm genuinely interested in their new ownership model.

Its been 13 years BTW. Hopefully one day we will get back to playing small clubs like Bristol Rovers in their shithole Rugby ground.
Hit a nerve there have'nt we. Doubt it if we ever have to play the likes of your lot again.

Taffy. Sweet Jesus...

Thats south Wales, for starters....but you may have noticed by my name that I'm English.

You didn't hit a nerve, I just didn't understand why you were getting so upset about some comments made about Chesterfield and their finances. I wasn't even having a go at them, if you had bothered to read or try and understand what I actually said.

Haven't you heard, the Conference is stronger than League Two this year?

We had him on loan for about 2 months and he played at LB. Did OK but his passing wasnt brilliant, good move for him, I dont think he's L2 quality but who knows maybe fulltime will suit him. Doubt we tried to sign him but were poorer than a church mouse and are staying P/T and can only afford sunday league players ;)

Definitely has the air of poundland signing about him but who knows, give him a chance. Not played a FL game so I'm hoping we have more experienced players to come in.

We have signed yet another centre back (we needed to after last season) - Luis Fernandez on loan from Stevenage. Any thoughts from Stevenage or Oxford City fans appreciated

He was ineffectual for us — but the ever present shit show didn’t help. Might be fine in the National. I wouldn’t get too excited, though.

Joel Grant is terrible. Everyone seems to get excited when they sign him but then he just puts in mediocre performances and you're never sorry to see him go when he leaves. The bloke has flattered to deceive at almost every club he's been at since he joined us from Aldershot. One of the most frustrating and laziest players we've ever had and I'm surprised he's not in part time football a decade on from when we released him.

So a good signing then?

Sounds like a good signing this Khan - going off what the Daggers fan said and a couple of bits on twitter.

We’ve got 23/24 in our squad albeit with 3 long term injuries so definitely expect some outgoings.

It does feel a bit weird - players recently signed or who have recent signed new deals rumour to be leaving - Rowley, Mitchell and Taylor being 3 of them.

Rowe clearly has a ‘my way or the high way’ approach and looks to be pretty ruthless behind the scenes, which is the complete opposite of how he seems to the fans.

We were brilliant last season but the pressures on, we look to be 3rd-5th favs with the bookies depending on your bookmaker of choice, I’d say any of that won’t be deemed good enough unless we win the play offs. Pressure definitely on

(We have reduced our wage bill still this season quite a fair bit, and if we’ve shifted 3000 STs we will be ok financially)

Meh. Not that bowled over with Grant but hopefully I'll be proven wrong. I'd actually rather we'd have saved some budget here and not been so hasty in declaring that Morais wasn't in our plans as I think he could have been a very good player down here. Not enthused about the prospect of Grant and Scannell out wide, so hopefully Sousa is up to the job and Max Wright is over his injuries.

Yeah, some of our fans seem to be getting over excited on this one just because he's been playing at lge 1.

Looks like your typical journey man player getting his last pay check in, hopefully he proves me wrong.

Im not sure thats true. You don't tend to get the really strong teams much anymore (your Crawley Fleetwood etc) but the overall strength is far higher, its a much more competitive league. Back then there was always a handful of teams you'd regularly score a hatful against, particularly nearer the end of the season when they'd dump their squad.

Going off the GTFC Twitter feed when we announced Joel Grant it seems the comments from fans of his previous teams are mostly complimentary with the Swindon fans being the exceptions.

Cult favourite at the Rec, mind you, a long time ago. Only one season, but Conf. championship winning. Drifted in and out of games, but when he could be arsed, could open up a defence and turn the game. Seems he hasn’t changed, and has probably lost some pace. Should do well in the Conf, even so, look forward to seeing him again.

not sure i agree, but fair enough and take your point, when you’ve the likes of dover and barnet basically giving up, chesterfield furloughing staff willy nilly as and when suits. the 3 instances make a mockery of the league

luton cambridge and lincoln didn’t even make the playoffs that season. certainly looks a poorer quality the last few seasons

Last year was a special case, the whole season should have been scrapped when Dover just stopped playing
