Looking forward to the long overdue debut for no 17!! | | |
PhilTWTD added 17:20 - Jul 31
Help Under-21 players, by my reckoning, Baggott, Humphreys and Slicker, Hutchinson counts towards the squad as he's on loan. Vancouver_Blue It's unlikely Hayes will be included in the 25-man squad, seems probable he'll go out on loan. | | |

Is that an indication of potentially no further Permanent Signings before the First Championship game ? - and we run with what we have. If so, personally, I feel we’re being rather optimistic, and taking a huge chance now we’ve got where we want to be, and need to stay at least. Hope we prove otherwise - because we need Points on the Board early doors, as we’ll soon see. Negative ? NO ! Realistic of the Task ahead ? YES ! Mark me down as you will - we will see !! | | |

And 2-3 more coming in?? | | |
ArnieM added 17:45 - Jul 31
Baggott has a squad number. Does this mean he’s staying? | | |
ImAbeliever added 17:48 - Jul 31
2-3 in 2-3 out, no problem. Not long now .. 6 days to lift off. | | |
parhamblue added 17:52 - Jul 31
Meaning one more of that squad apart from Hayes will need to be loaned or released (or train with the U21s?) if two more signings come in - assuming none of the new signings count as U21s. But Ashton said 'two to three at least'. So it could be two, three or even four! of that list do not feature. | | |

Does the 29 players exclude under 21s and Goalkeepers plus our beloved sponsor. If so that reduces the number of outfield players to 22. I'm assuming Baggott is under 21? Not sure either why Omari is not included as an under 21? John Jules was last year! If we are likely to bring in at least 2 or 3 further players I guess one or two may go out either on loan or be available for transfer. | | |
Bluefish11 added 17:57 - Jul 31
So 29 named, exclude Ed and 4 x U21's = room for 1 more senior in the squad. I'd like to see us keep Baggot, plus get 1 in, if he can't step up now, then he won't be stepping up after a season under Steve Evans and his style of play. Grow him at home! The squad numbers suggest nobody elese is leaving at the moment. One more senior to come in, someone else to leave if it is 2! | | |
Karlosfandangal added 18:00 - Jul 31
I make it 26 players excluding Haynes 3 under 21 so 23 players so possible 2 new signings possibly | | |
Cadiar added 18:01 - Jul 31
Peckham, heard no.17 is possibly moving to a Saudi team, he's not going to get much game time with us. | | |

Trust McKenna’s judgment implicitly but hope Baggott has impressed sufficiently to be in with a shout of remaining part of the squad and actually featuring for Town this year. | | |
Help added 18:06 - Jul 31
McNally perm signing and U21 so wont count. Leaves room for Outfield player to replace Hayes in 25, and ?? | | |
BlueBoots added 18:11 - Jul 31
@Karlosfandangal Got your sums wrong somewhere...full squad of 25 players including the keeper Hayes. As Phil said, he'll go out on loan and Slicker will take 3rd keeper spot, freeing up a space in the squad for one more signing. Guessing you didn't count Hutchinson because he's under 21, but as he's on loan he counts towards the 25. | | |
kiwiblue added 19:55 - Jul 31
29 on the list less Slicker Humph and Baggott = 26, - Ed perhaps a player next pre season after his never ending tour of the world =25, - Hayes on loan for a season or under 21 team here =24 + /- replacements/sales , when we trade the 2/3 this month. Did you see what I did there , Ed what position suits you best? Cancel the family trip here in August | | |

Blueboots. Slicker appearances for Man City and he comes to ITFC to be no.3???? Don’t think so | | |
Marcus added 22:56 - Jul 31
Some of the incoming players may be U21. There may be some leaving. One day to go! | | |
Eeyore added 00:15 - Aug 1
I would expect Hladky to move on to get regular football. Slicker will be number 2 keeper. Will be a few other exits to make way for signings. Eg Jackson, Edmundson, Harness, Leigh. | | |
Eeyore added 00:16 - Aug 1
And Humphries will be loaned out | | |
BlueBoots added 06:46 - Aug 1
@Nomore4 "Appearances for Man City" Where did you get that from? The closest Slicker has come to playing in a league game is 9 games on the bench when he was at loan to Rochdale in League Two last season. He may not have come to the club to be No.3, but he is until either Walton or Hladky move on, and even then we'd probably look to bring in a replacement with at least 1 league game under their belt. | | |
