MPH,- good shout, even if it was until January, he'd be in the shop window and kick-start his career again. Nothing to lose as you say, don't ask want yadda yadda

What's to be lost by "them in charge" contacting Forss's agent and saying come train with us and see if there is some chemistry between us that could result in a contract?

Just took a look at the L2 table (I know - only 4 games in) but kinda sad to see Port Vale at the bottom with 0 wins from their 4 games. If my very quick search is right they haven’t been non-league since 1919.

A motivated Browne and a consistently fit Stevens are good additions to the squad if those two things can happen. I keep having to remind myself that we have kept two clean sheets already in a high scoring division. But folding like we did last night was not good viewing.

Six attacking/forward players who were permanent signings have left our club in calendar year 2026. Two attacking/forward players that are permanent signings have joined our club in this period, one is currently injured. Forss would be great, if only. So i suppose we'll have to get by until browne and stevens return from injury to reinforce us and it wouldn't surprise me if we get bugiel on loan in the january window.

Surrey fightback on

Lurker - "Or are you proposing we kidnap players and illegally intimidate them into signing contracts?". Aren't we allowed to do that then?

Forss and Stockley as our front two and 5-3-2 might work

Although I notice Forss is still without a club. If there’s any muscle memory of what he could be at this level left in there he’d be good for anyone in league one.

As with every season we have to replace a big chunk of the squad. Some seasons we get lucky and everyone is fit and it gels. Some seasons we don’t and it takes longer. That’s literally all I’m seeing here. Put Stevens on the pitch for these games and he would definitely have done better with the number of chances and half chances we’ve had.

Mark what failure to sign Lewis. He was offered a good contract. His agent suggested he could get a better deal as an out of contract player. How that worked out for him has nothing to do with a failure on this side.

Looks like Surrey might get relegated

"the 'incident' in the NE corner of the pitch..."

Think most of us would have fallen over long before we got anywhere near the point where Sasu fell over on Sunday if you're talking about the NE corner of the point

Yeah i thought he was good against Wigan too apart from when he fell over and actually even then he did a good move just before

Sasu played ok against Wigan to be fair but that was a rare thing

I'm prepared to get shot down in flames here, but I think I've seen slight glimmers of Sasu making a more meaningful contribution in the last couple of games

Would be good if it’s not uncontested, otherwise people who some people may not want to be re-elected to the DTB will get on unopposed

I hope some people do Timmy, as much as the members of the DTB we need people willing to use the election to discuss the issues that get brushed aside. I also hope we have a properly constituted ESG (it would be nice to know the membership). Three weeks ago they were really scraping the bottom of the barrel in the search ;)

I was wondering that Timmy but thought I might have forgone the right to be curious by leaving the DT.

Anyone on here going to stand for DTB elections ? Think they’re due to launch very soon

CW - Sasu is under contract. We either send him out on loan or keep him in the squad. Possibly no-one in the National League wants him on loan? Or if they do, won't pay a meaningful % of his wages? Maybe we want to wait until Cornick and Stevens are fit and Richards gets some competitive minutes to see how they compare to Sasu? If we keep him, may as well try to find his best position.

If Sasu is the answer I don’t want to know the question 😀

Airsy - and Stockley nearly got a second headed goal from a nigh impossible position. He has the skillset to be a latterday slower-paced Fash - but needs the service. If we go 4-4-2, maybe repurpose Sasu as a winger?

We don’t have enough pace in the team all round which is why we miss Ogundere when he’s not playing as he covers well at the back
