Close to being done according to RW tonight, although Ling apparently has Covid but it should not slow things down.

Let’s hope one of the signings, is a No.9 goalscorer we have been waiting 2 seasons for, to take pressure of Dan Agyei,

I just can't see us bringing in another forward with Kelman and Perkins signed. I don't have a huge amount of faith in Howes, Sweeney and James, would love to see us sign first team players in all their positions rather than bench options

A rough tough young number 9 type of Alan Shearer in the making would do nicely !

Dan Agyei looked excellent tonight, scoring 4 I think, although it was only non league opposition, however if he gets injured we are fcuked. Kelman worked hard but didn’t look like scoring.

We need to keep him well away from Donald Trump as well.

On the evidence of last season Joe Pigott is not a league one standard striker . It's debatable if whether he's even league two standard

Apart from when he did?

However he is Alan Shearer in the making, dodgy fitness & carrying to much timber

I’ve only seen 45 minutes on the stream but Perkins ain’t anywhere near ready to lead the line.

I have way more faith in James and Sweeney than I do in Kelman.

Kellman did ok tonight & linked up pretty well with Agyei
Need to give him time & I'm sure if Ritchie plays the two above upfront & they get on the crosses from O'Neil from the left & Graham when fit on the right we will have a dangerous forward line.
Ritchie has faith in Kellman so we should get behind him.
I know tonight was only a friendly but these games are for trying things out, tonight was a step in the right direction 👍

I wrote a wish list of ''A rough tough young number 9 type of Alan Shearer in the making would do nicely !''
So that description hardly fits Joe Piggot !!

Apologies, must have missed it.
TBF the view from the main stand was awful with so many posts and the dug outs etc in the way. I wouldn’t like to watch football from there on a regular basis.
I’ve heard people complain about our East Stand but it’s fantastic compared to St Albans main stand.

TJ has proved himself more than capable of playing L1 football. I really like Sweeneys athleticism from full back.

I wouldn't have any concerns if both started in our first game.
