Wouldn 't need to put in a seven day notice if that were the case?

Apparently we've put in the required notice for these players and subject to them agreeing terms, they should be available to start against Nuneaton. Two of these players should be known to us already according to the manager.

I really hope these players are the missing links in our squad. Granted it's taken longer than anyone wanted but maybe now we can finally start the season.

2 of them are 7-dayers, but 3 in total

Lets hope  the CM is experienced enough to steady the ship and direct the team on the field  , badly need an old head to provide younger players leadership .
Difficult to envisage fast progress up the league without a better goalie

In my view we need 5 players. Goalkeeper, left back, two midfield players and another centre forward. I would prefer a new manager in place though before we panic into signing or getting in more loan players, which we all know unless we are very lucky like Max last year, do not work.

Rarely does the simple solution appear to be he correct one .

Remember the present band of protesters hounding Jason Lee out ?
What did it get us in return ?    Yes , Graham Drury !!!!
Did they back Drury ?  did  they hell !!!
Soon hounded Drury out ,  would the new incumbent prove they made he right move .

Give credit to this small  vociferous group for what followed .  If Greene departs anytime soon his CV will read as follows.
  2012-13 season . Joined BUFC mid-season inheriting a team of UNI (sth) class players and saved the club from religation .

 2013-14.   Finished 6th in the league going into the last game of the season with an outside chance of making  play-offs .

2014 -2015 .   Many had wrote off our chances of making play-offs , but produced a usual 2nd half season surge to make 3rd place and play-offs  .

In my time at the club my signings have produced the following --

2013-14   The Con North  Player of the Year .
   "            Another player selected for Team o t year .

2014-15     Two players selected for NC team of year .
                   Two players called up for England C training .

A fairly impressive for Greene to take away .

Now I guess this little band calling for Green,s to go have got some one in mind with a better CV , or what the point of calling for him to go ?

With all the off-field stuff to sort out this season / next season, I think it is highly unlikely DG will lose his job. DN just has too many other priorities.

The only way I could see this happening is if we were in serious relegation trouble (unless of course DG was set a target of promotion). In my opinion I don't think a mid-table finish will worry DN too much this season - anything better than that - like play-offs or a cup run would be an absolute bonus.

Not great for the fans, who tasted football league a few years ago and a near miss with promotion last year, but we are still in a recovery and re-building phase and the off the pitch activities get no more significant than they are at this time.

welcome Ryan, seen a twitter comment from a fan/player at Stamford 'keep winning them headers'. Hoefully hes what weve been lacking up front, also seen dennis's comment that its took him 2 years to get him to sign so hes been on the radar a while.

Some people really need to get their facts right before spouting drivel,when he stood there waving a Linnets scar he had already signed for Barwell and was using it as leverage to get a better deal. He wasn't hounded out he used a personal argument with one fan as his excuse as to why he hadn't signed,claimed the fan had threatened him and his family,when it was the complete opposite,added to this was his desire to fight the Lynn fans on when they played at Stamford. Welcome to him. :bunny

I'm quite calm,just drinking my tea and musing on the Ryan Robbins poor me story being unravelled again,won't deny he has the ability to do a job for you,but mentally i think you are taking a chance. Every team he has left was never his fault,always someone else to blame,if he under performs and more vocal fans get on his back he will lose it. All about opinions,must remember to message Dennis and congratulate him,and remind him it is his round. :dan

I think contents of your posts ("fighting fans") maybe reveals it as an astute signing .
Just pick him for home games ,  sub him afer 85 mins and station him near the Spayne Rd tea bar until players and management have left the field . :dan

According to commentator Nuneaton are playing like Boston have been playing. The question is Are we ahead because Nuneaton are rubbish. Robbins certainly made a difference, shame nothing was done earlier, before Gainsborough say.

One player in negotiation the other was ill, as Denis said in his interview today we can put in 7 day notice to players dosnt mean they will sign just gives him the chance to talk /negotiate with them, give the guy a chance,
Seems to me its easy to be a keyboard manager with all the answers, unlike Den who is out there doing it for real in the real world.
And dosnt have a computer screen to hide behind !!! ;)

I wonder why supporters nearly always say that when their team, our team are getting beat?

Rarely do we compliment our opponents or accept that we lost because they played really well, goodness me no, 90% of the time it is purely because we are shite. Nuneaton it appears are no different, does me laugh that

The overwhelming opinion of the Nuneaton fans appeared to be that the Boro manager was tacticly
out manoeuvred by Greene .

Yep, lot of folks slating dens tactical ability, but he got it spot on yesterday, 3 up front pressing their back four and they struggled to cope with it, not saying Dennis is a tactical genius but give  the bloke some credit where its due.
