Squads 2015/16

[Luke Imp]

We usually have a thread where we can keep track of squads for the coming season, so here we go for us!

Goalkeepers (2)
Paul Farman (24)
Aidan Grant (20)

Defenders (6)
Lee Beevers (31)
Chris Bush (23)
Luke Waterfall (24)
Callum Howe (21)
Nat Brown (34)
Bradley Wood (23)

Midfielders (8)
Alan Power (27)
Jon Nolan (23)
Greg Tempest (21)
Andrew Wright (18)
Keegan Everington (19)
Elliot Hodge (19)
Craig Stanley (32)
Matt Sparrow (33)

Strikers (5)
Matt Rhead (31)
Liam Hearn (29)
Jack Muldoon (26)
Conner Robinson (20)
Alex Simmons (19)

Squad size - 21
Average squad age – 24.6

Not included Tony Diagne who’s out on loan at Macclesfield now.

Muldoon or Robinson could quite easily pass for midfielders in the sense they're not out and out strikers but not really close to any other of the midfielders either.

Four from the youth system in there and I think we’ll see Wright, Everington and Hodge all go out on loan with possibly Simmons, too.

Not many for us in that 'prime' age of 26-29 bracket.

Craig Clay (23)
Scott Brown (30)
Harry Cliffton (17)

Strikers (3)
Jon-Paul Pittman (28)
Padraig Amond (27)
Omar Bogle (22)

Squad size 21
Average Age 25.1

We also have goal keeping coach Andy Warrington who can step in if needed while Callum recovers from a long term injury from last season. 4 first year pros in there too. Hurst says he would like one more striker but otherwise the squad is complete and we have Arnold and Monkhouse who can both also play up front if needed.

Strikers (3)
Matthew Barnes-Homer (29)
Dan Walker (25)
Charlie Walker (25)

Squad size - 16
Average age - 25.6

Barker unlikely to play many games and we are still needing a RB with Oastler out till October (ish). Also a distinct lack of wide players so a couple of wingers definitely due in... wouldn't be surprised if another striker comes in either as he may see Dan Walker as a wide player.

Scott Brown's not 35 surely?

 

[ShrewdBlue]

Scott Brown's not 35 surely?

I was surprised when I read that too...just had a look - he's 30.

 

[les.gtfc]

Yeah, I just checked too.

Not sure where Frealaf got 35 from.

We still look short in the middle and up top to be honest.

Aye read 1985 as 35 for some reason

 

[1884 Belmont]

Aye read 1985 as 35 for some reason

You read 1985 as 1935 and thought he was only 35 years old?

 

[Gladders]

No I read the 85 and wrote 35, I didn't work out their ages there all on wiki.

Those in italics are on the transfer list. Jamal Lawrence and Sterling-James have been linked with moves to Oxford City in the last few days.

I am also officially older than every player in the squad for the first time ever, being 11 days older than Danny Wright. I think my dream of representing my hometown club has finally ended.

What's happened to Aswad Thomas Sparrow?

 

[Cardsfan]

What's happened to Aswad Thomas Sparrow?

His contract wasn't renewed at the same time as everyone else, and didn't feature today. So no idea basically.

 

[Sparrow]

What's happened to Aswad Thomas Sparrow?

His contract wasn't renewed at the same time as everyone else, and didn't feature today. So no idea basically.

I would imagine he's looking to sign for a Football League side. I'd have him back here in an instant but for the time being the chances of that happening seem pretty slim.

 

[Gladders]

I would imagine he's looking to sign for a Football League side.

He'll be lucky

 

[Sparrow]

He'll be lucky

I agree, I think. If he doesn't get a move this summer his next best chance would be doing a season with us, impressing and then getting a move in the FL like others have done.

Looks like you could do with a few more midfielders.....

 

[Si Robin]

4 of them would qualify as forwards as well (Waters, Richards, Kotwica and Williams). The bottom two won't play at all, and have been rumoured to be linking up with Oxford City.

 

[les.gtfc]

Not sure what the recovery period is for this, but not good news whatever. Get well soon James.

 

[Nansan]

Not sure what the recovery period is for this, but not good news whatever. Get well soon James.

Not nice, knew a friend who had that. Hope he has a speedy recovery

 

[Imp in Branston]

Not sure what the recovery period is for this, but not good news whatever. Get well soon James.

Think the recovery period is 1-2 weeks normally. All the best to him from down the A46.
