Essentially we'll be targeting a third choice Championship Striker who wants game time but won't get it at their club.

The obsession of ex players with you lot cracks me up

Michael Smith scored 10 goals in 25 League, Cup and Trophy appearances for us. Nine of those were in 23 League games plus his goal vs Coventry in the FA Cup. So that's better than a the 1 in 3 ratio needed for 15 goals a season. Not to be sniffed at OR not good enough?

Surely the Dear Leader would be Obi-wan. Question is, which of our delectable Wombelles would be Princess Wotever? I'll go for the extremely easy-on-the-eye Danielle who has replaced Mark behind the jump in the Prez's this season.

TGG - true. Does that make you Chewbacca? Is Ivor an Ewok? The wise Erik can be Yoda.

Just what you need when you already have half the station out of action. [Link]

Wu - with their fan-base, I think that the enabling development of a Lego Death-Star would be better on various levels :-)

Surprised Winkleman didn't offer to host Kingstonian at Stadium Franchise this season. It would have been exactly the kind of PR nonsense he likes. Alternatively he could have offered to facilitate a new stadium with the enabling development of a Greggs bakery.

Think Ks did build Kingsmeadow to Football League standard (as the criteria then was), maybe not initially but soon afterwards – it's why they went bust. Well, that and spunking money on players they couldn't afford.

i wonder if all the travel problems left a few deciding not to bother

I fear for Wombledan's blood pressure. Stay away from the K's forum. You'll see nothing good about us so it's pointless reading. Mind you, I did drop in there this weekend for the first time in ages to see the reaction to the win against 'rikay. Highly amusing stuff.

Wombledan - it sounds like Krinkly doesn't like me very much for saying that Castaway pointed out to me that the redundant Kingstonian sign is still up and also pointing out that they built a non league style stadium for an unambitious non league team with unambitious fans who didn't ever look like having to cater for 4,000 crowds. As for the shallow terrace, well, they didn't need a decent one as there are not enough fans at their games to get in each others' way 😂. Please pass on my best wishes on to him 😉

Did someone really call OI a c-bomb? How bizarre.

Suffice to say we aren't spoilt for choice . Not sure what rules on loans are now ? Can we get him til Jan

Isn't Smith training with the Pompey yout'?

Possibly. Says something to me that Northampton haven't gone in for him after his loan spell there last season (2 in 14). If he does come i'll get behind him, but he wouldn't be my choice. Mind you, who else is available. The plus point is that Ardley knows he would fit in with the group.

Yeah but no-one can think of a suitable player unless they have played for us before, Rover ;-)

Rover - nobody else in our squad does either

He might help others do so though .

Worth pointing out that Smith doesn't score goals....

We need someone decent not Azeez lite

SNN - told exactly the same re Smith. Loan until end of season.

Wages well out of our range unless a loan deal is available,so I'm told.

Not sure why Taylor hasn't started anyway. He linked up pretty well with McDonald in pre-season and played all last season bending to the right (matron).

Hope so
