Phantoms Livi Lass Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 And he said it would be a young side this season! I'm still cagey about Allan Walker and Robert Wilson, so another grafter in midfield, and a centre-half with a bit of experience would be good. (surprised he hasn't gone for Townsley). There will also, of course, be a few loanees. They worked a treat last season. Ooh! Is he accompanying Sheerin from Livi? Must want to go back to his roots. Shall I order the taxi...? Seriously though, I like Sheerin & Berwick so I hope you come up. Please, I miss you. From what I have seen of him he is passionate & gave 100% so given good management I think he would do well. Sadly we have shite management & lots going on behind the scenes so he didn't have a chance last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bino Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 I see you've signed Lee Hamilton. Should do great for you. Plays right back / wing back / right midfield. Never stops running and never shirks a tackle. We ended up with 5 RB / RWB players last year and Lee sat on the bench for most of it. No idea why because he definitely deserved game time after some of the fiascos we seen. All the best to Lee. Delighted he's got another chance to shine.

His namesake is a promising young centre-half who probably needs another half season to get more experience before he can really be 1st choice.

Sounds like the ideal Coughlin signing. The manager has already said he likes to play with 3 centre backs, so looks like Hamilton will be putting in a shift up and down the right flank. Ooh!

Keep him as long as you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quality (& quantity) will depend on what budget is available. Speaking of which, any news on next season's new shirt sponsor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BerwickMad Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 We'll probably send the youths to the North East games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they'll get time off school to travel to Wales.ETA: do we have a team full of youths? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coogs Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 New keeper announced, quite tall at 6ft 3. Do we call him the flamingo? Been missing a bird related keeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, ok, vested interest, but great to see.👠I'm happy to see it too, I know we did reasonably well last season so good that we're building on that. The point I was making is the lack of first team news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berwick-the-unbeatable Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 The club have already told you they're about to sign 3 more. There's not much more they can do if they haven't actually signed anyone yet... Happy with the cup draw today. Hopefully they bring a few down and we get it up them again.

Yellow Feet Posted June 23, 2016 Author Share Posted June 23, 2016 The club have already told you they're about to sign 3 more. 3 signings takes the squad size to 19. Assuming the loans are coming from pro youth, 8 of those 19 players will be 21 or younger. I know we were told it would be a young team, but surely we need a bit more experience?
