Not too bad in terms of experience if you ask me. I'm not sure if it is a real measure of anything but it must at least be an indicator of the kind of player we are able to attract, whether it be a Benin or an England international  it all counts in terms of player development

Most of the players who have neither Premiership nor International experience are promising players - Brayford, Turner, Mason, Noone, Nugent and our two reserve keepers. Out of those, I would only fear putting either Nugent or Moore on the pitch at this stage. Both Mason and Turner did well against Premiership opposition in the Carling Cup, going so far as to be the two goalscorers in the final. The only other one not included here is Kiss and that's mainly because we no longer have any idea how Malky views him or what is progress has been. In all honesty, like Velcro, I wouldn't expect him to see out the season with us.


That is all.

Corker should actually be our 3rd yes - yes on that list.

Another couple of decent signings in key positions and i will become a lot more confident about the coming season

Oh no, it's another Arkay   Caulker has played for England.

Faaaaaarrrrrrrrk it! How did I miss that?? I even SAW him play for the GB Team and score for Eng-er-land (although, that was on the tellybox)

I shall amend immediately...
