Don't know what to make of the signings so far.
Zavon began brilliantly at Maidstone so can clearly shine, but stopped hogging the headlines the last few weeks. Contract cancelled by mutual consent for this deal ........? He's 29, once cost £250,000. I dunno! I've made a list of non-league names and he wasn't on it - had he been 25 then an 18 month contract would've made sense to me.
Sid is a hothead and Yeovil have been playing a guy who looks like a choirboy instead. Sid is a local lad to Millwall, only wants to play for them. Another dunno!
And Josh Kay. The Fylde route is usually a good one, but he hasn't broken into a Barnsley team on a losing run till their last match. A fee! Am I seeing right? And he's only ever played one league game? I'm reading he's a loan, but Barnsley's website says FEE. I read he was going on loan to Tranmere when Ollie Banks went. Did he? Anyway do you still think I'm barking up the wrong tree suggesting non-league talent ....? Fylde is where he developed. Kay is a central midfielder it seems, so is most of our current team, how is that going to pan out?
But I like the fact that like Forest Green Jack has clearly been planning moves in advance of the window opening. If Saturday's game happens to be waterlogged he's got over a week to get these boys into his structure ...... unlike GC who trained his old team together for two weeks and brought in six players on the last day of the window to destroy all the benefits of the work they'd done. So at least this looks like a plan, which is unusual for us! But at the moment I'd bet on Dayle Grubb making the leap from Weston-Super-Mare to scoring goals from midfield for Forest Green in front of our new lads, but you know me and pessimism.
