Matt Preston the guy who almost snapped Luke Hannant in half?

Sold Danny Rose to Northampton.

He’s been injured so unable to play this season so far, he’s been at the club for ages and you could argue it was time last season, but I actually think he’s the perfect sort of striker for GC high press style, so I’m a bit disappointed and surprised, especially considering it’s unlikely Reid or Bowery are better than him.

On the other hand, we had one striker too many, it was his last year, and we’ve received a fee and other potential bonuses.

Watch your manager on the sideline. He tried to tell the ref he got the ball!

That was the game where we should have sacked Dempster, who wasn’t a manager in reality, he was a youth coach!

Has Jamie Reid played much this season for you?

I’d have liked us to go back in for him when he left Torquay as I always felt he had something when he broke into our first team, but injuries ruined his time with us.

Don’t think he’s played in the league at all yet, he’s fourth choice currently, behind Cook, Maynard and Bowery - considering we’ve sent Knowles on loan to County and sold Rose he’s definitely going to get a chance soon.

Matt Preston first season was excellent on the right side of a back three. Second season he was woeful, he was sent off every other game and his form was horrific. He is very fast and strong and but last season he was a total liability.

Not that bothered about Rose leaving. He's a fans' favourite and while he was decent last year, he was lucky to get another year prior to that. Overall, he has hardly improved at all as a player in his time with us and his form is up, down, and sometimes down for a long time.

Not a signing but Billy Paynter has returned to where it all started to join Frank Sinclair in our youth coaching team (as soon as their isolation period is up!)

Good to have him back.

Don't know anything about him but he can't be any worse than Melish and at least he's an actual midfielder.

Hopefully it'll work out, but yeah it's a relief we got someone in for that position.

Yeah, obviously we were going after Devitt but I think the no fans till March thing fucked that. Just any attacking midfielder is better than Mellish, although I bet a Mellish starts tomorrow.

Ashley Nathaniel-George to Southend confirmed on the official Crawley website. Says it's a transfer but does not mention a fee.

11 goals in 57 apperances...mostly as a sub.

Conflicted about this. As I said I cannot see him displacing our front 3 anytime soon but he does have that ability to get your backside off your seat.

Think we could have done with him on Saturday against Southend where the turn, dribble and shot may have lifted us out of the doldrums we were in.

I'm told he had an option in his contract to leave for free if he wanted. That would tie in with the fact that there is absolutely no chance we have spare money to spend on transfer fees

We’re signing Kyle Bennett from Bristol Rovers, subject from clearance from Bradford City.

someone put on our forum on Saturday that Chris Taylor is meant to have signed for us - but not seen anything anywhere else. He's been with us twice before and Dunn knows him from Oldham - so might be some truth in it.

Been with you twice before as what? Looking at his career he hasn’t been with you as a footballer.

Could be a decent enough signing though.

was on loan with us in his early Oldham days* - although it's not shown on his record anywhere. Also trained with us last season and played in our Lancashire Senior Cup match against Oldham - which stopped him playing for Bradford until January...

*edit - it was 2005 when he was with Oldham U-18's

Wouldn't surprise me. One of the reasons we get some of the players we do is we make a promise to allow them to leave if not getting game time.

You'll have to tell me what you think about him. Good, bad, indifferent. I could never quite make up my mind. He will definitely score some screamers though.

Saw on Chris Taylor’s insta that he was signing for someone, a million percent past it now, no clue about Barrow’s squad but can’t see him as a regular starter for anyone in this league.

What's the current squad size in Cleethorpes? Seems to be a lot of incomings.

I think we were on 30 before this new signing but you've got 4 or 5 first year academy graduates in there, 3 bargain bin random as fuck non-league strikers, 4 loanees and Sam Russell who is really GK coach.

Yeah, Taylor confirmed. Doesn't look a great signing at all IMO.
