Hopefully some form of compromise to get a couple out the door (easier said than done) and fingers crossed the 2 players the manager really wants in the club get over the line as I've been impressed with the recruitment so far this season.

Hartlepool look like they've recruited well so this should be an interesting game although even our manager has said it could take up to 2 months to get to where he thinks the team should be at playing wise but getting at least a point away would be a great start.

Good result and nice interview from the Manager. We look bigger, faster than last season and really looking forward to the season now. Can easily see only 3 players from last season starting against Hartlepool. Very interesting to see if these 2 players the manager wants will come in esp as he says ...

As the season draws closer and so far I've been impressed with the new players brought in during pre season games that I have seen but do we expect many more additions? No number 3 or 10 yet Something tells me a couple of this squad will leave esp when you see whos involved in the games so far. Real...

Shirt numbers mean nothing! Doesn't mean you'll start if you have numbers 1 - 11 and Doesn't mean you'll still be in the team come KO on 1st match of the season. All teams issue squad numbers so wether you want players to go or not to start matches is irrelevant. We have several players from last se...

That would depend on who comes in plus if any offers cone in for any of the other contracted players.

Would have liked to keep him but knew this was one of the players that would get snapped up

Another 2 so far today so 8 through the door and 2 out.

4 defenders in today
We'll still need additional players so whos still here ? Shipley, Anderson and Reglan?
Hoping Rose, Whitfield, MJ and McCann are staying then see who else comes in

Massive couple of weeks coming up.
2 gone so far with potentially a few more leaving then its who we bring in.
Few clubs getting players in esp Hartlepool who look like there up for a title challenge. Hopefully the new manager has some good players ready to sign up.

Rumours around a few players leaving (tbc) by the club yet. Barnet looking at McCann.
Got to say I've been impressed with Hartlepools recruitment so far, getting a good few deals done early.

Need to play a few lower league sides not only for minutes but so the Manager can look at the players and formations while the transfer window is open and build some confidence. I'd like to see a couple of league 2 or league 1 sides play us nearer the start of the season for that extra test.

Losing McCann and earing won’t help our cause but will be whole new team built around MJ so time will tell Heard something we haven't? Any player could leave if a bid comes in or not in the new managers plans (hes told players he doesn't want they can move) Personally I'd keep both esp McCann but i...

Obviously being the 125 year shirt its going to be different but I like it. Think its a great design and like the gold incorporated into it.
Can't please everyone no matter what you bring out and I haven't bought a shirt for years but really like this one.

Just the 4 keepers for us then?

Be shocked if 2 aren't on their way out
