The pilgrims carry on their unbeaten run with a 3-0 victory away at coalville.
Mason, Hawley and Hemmings on the score sheet.
Well done lads

P6 W4 D2 F12 A2
With respect to some of the opposition, I'd take that for the first six games. Promising so far...

Fingers crossed TTT, we also seem to have good strength on the bench who are able to positively affect a game when they come on.
No Smithy tonight though, and Vinno came off after25 minutes let's hope none of that is serious.
Looking good otherwise.

from what I've seen and heard so far, there's many positives. Let's hope it continues into the early League games. The depth on the bench seems of a better quality than in recent times, and should provide a healthy competition for a starting shirt.

According to AM one more signing due in: a centre forward; which will take the first team squad up to 20.
-
Could be paul Clayton who was on trial last night.

According to soccer base he has only played 92 games in his career. His goal ratio is good though. Don't know if this covers full time pro games.
-
Paul Clayton I've traced played 311 times for Alfreton and has a good goal tally .
Then appeared to sign for Harrogate in 2015 . .

311 apps for Alfreton 114 goals as you say not a bad return.

Would anyone on here take a punt on Clayton, he has a good goal return and has experience, he has a lot of non league football under his belt.
His age is against him, but if you look at Hawley that doesn't matter too much.
Probably not a 90minutes man, but another good option to bring off the bench if you need an experienced head to see a tight game home.
Me personally I would give him a go, on non contract terms and then see how he goes.
-
Of course , not much options at this point with money being tight . and CN hiring market like a jungle ..
-
He might just be a good signing Ted, we are going to need a leader up front until Smithy gets fully fit.
I know the Alferton fans highly rate him and were sad to see him leave.

Murray knows we need a proven goalscorer. Pre season has shown we are going to have alot of possession in games & it has to be turned into goals. Hawley yes goalscorer but at 36 on from the bench? Smithy needs time to fully recover & get match fit. Tshimanga looks skillful around box may get his share? Waite? Haven't seen him played in the middle yet just out on right wing, hopefully alot more to come. I can see why Murray is bringing another striker in though.
-
Well its not done and dusted yet , but if he played 300 + games in 7 years , he doesn't appear to have missed many !
Don't know what happened at Harrogate tho .did he play against us ?
-
Where do we stand with Jay Rollins? As far as I know he hasn't got a new club yet. If he were to come back apologetic and now want to agree the terms we offered, would we have to find room in the budget? If we didn't, could he then leave on a free transfer?

He's still on trial at Grimsby. They played Winterton last night, he scored 2 & was man of the match in a 7-0 mariners win.
-
Who wants a player here who turns down a deal after being named player of the season.
He has stuck his two fingers up to us all, so he can sit on the bench at Grimsby, you reap what you sow Jay.
I am sorry,I never thought he was that good, average player in this league, if he was any good one of the full time clubs in our league would have signed him, the fact that they haven't speaks volumes.

As said by others before you can't blame players trying to better themselves . Dread to think where we would have been without Rollins goals last season .
-
Looking at the games he scored in we would have been 5 points worse off so a few places lower in the league but safe. Average player in a poor team last season, no big loss. Never seen a player receive the player of the season award and look so uninterested.
-
Murray is only interested in players who are 100% commited to BUFC. As soon as Rollins indicated that he wasn't, he was leaving the club.

A good policy in my book. total commitment and a close team spirit can often achieve results way above 11 indiviuals with more natural talent, but without togetherness. Example....Leicester City 2015/6 season.

Agree with Bodge re: Rollins at POY presentation but have to say many of the others players appeared in the same mode . On the field I thought JR always put in a good shift , even if suffering with knocks .
Looking at this seasons squad I will be disappointed if out of 8 young players signed that by the end of the season at least 2/3 of them have been told by their agent it is time to attempt to move to a higher level .
If they do I will grateful for their efforts at the club and wish them good luck , as I did Rollins , Southwell, Miller, & Mills etc .
I suspect these moves makes it easier for the manager to recruit eager young prospects .
