Trouble with Dan Jones' long throws is that they are so predictable; opposing defences know the tactic, put two men on Moussa, and that's it. We have no variety.

Having said that, if Jones plays against us next season we probably won't work it out.

Some of those on the available for transfer list may have requested it themselves. No guarantee that anyone will come in for them, but this clear out is needed (i think we all agree it is needed) and lets see who Pennock can bring in.

When Jones played for England he was asked if he wanted to come off at half-time due to our game next day he said he'd play on that's enough for me good riddance!

I just made the term up but it's this: http://www.thenationalleague.org.uk/pen ... -sta-45231

Thanks - I hadn't seen that article. Where is Pennock staying for £25?

The players/staff only pay 25 quid towards the cost of their stay PC pays the difference.

Same for me, If his heart isn’t here the rest of him may as well follow him out.
Thx for your efforts DJ.

+1 for me he is shite and past it

Suppose if we got a fee for ARH then anythings possible.

Jones was too interested in looking at himself in the mirror than playing football,spat his dummy out at training

Unfortunately I don't think Jordan White will be going anywhere and I think it will be the same for barthram

I agree with all of that- Gomis has been hugely over-rated from being decent first half of the season. Like a fire engine racing around to the wrong address. Jones, a show pony and not as good as he thinks he is. If Bartram can't get into the side in front of Makoma at right back, unless there's something we don't know about, he should be a million miles from Barrow- it looks like he wants to be.

Makoma, although I have warmed to his efforts of late, should be gone too IMO. Can't see him stopping as the rest of the French retreat from Barrow.


I'm not confident White, Hall et all will get 'buyers'

Marginally more convinced Pennock might stay, but still erring on departure

pretty much as I expected on the "Cull" thread, with the exception of Gomis - but that may be him requesting to leave.
An early signing of a decent centre half might show our intent and help persuade Moussa to stay. It's been rumoured for a couple of months on one of the non league forums that we had offered Ryan Astles a 2 year deal - he'd be a good start

Moussa has had an offer on the table for getting on for 12 months. Not a prayer he will stay

probably right - but either way Astles would be a good signing.
I hope if Moussa and Gomis do leave that doesn't stop Makoma staying as he has bags of potential = and started to show it regularly before his sending off.

Trouble is, if they do leave, Makoma will have no-one to talk to in his own language.

Agreed - that was my point.
