So how do you convince a player who you’re desperate to offload that he should walk away rather than sit on his contract and draw an extra year’s salary out of you? Well, you could always sign a player who has recently given him nightmares!
I recall Jefferson Louis as a big, awkward target man, limited in movement but nontheless capable of bamboozling Richard Hope. Hope spent the game against Mansfield at The Racecourse trying to haul him to the floor in the box, incapable of finding another…

Matt Crowell’s warning to Wrexham in the Evening Leader is appropriate, but I can’t help feeling I wouldn’t mind him being on our side as we face up to the fight. Is this a strange psychological symptom in me? I can’t help noticing a certain regret as I see our previous players at different clubs-it’s almost like Stockholm Syndrome! I’ve started to hanker after the players who handcuffed us to the Conference radiator!
I know we had to have a clear-out, but Crowell was a good battling…

It seems we’ve bought Tom Kearney according to Southport’s manager. I have a vague recollection of him playing in midfield for Bradford, but can’t remember too much detail on him-a Halifax fansite says when he was at alley Parade he was thought of as the next Stuart McCall! If he arrives on top of Carden (not literally!) it certainly makes a return for Neil…

Interesting to see the the Non-League Paper rated Carden as Cambridge’s best player in the play-off final, though with the proviso that there wasn’t much to choose from!

So Denis Smith is leaving the area, and his departure is more than just symbolic.
The very fact that he immediately bought a home in Gresford signalled his intent to commit himself to Wrexham’s cause, something Brian Flynn was criticised for not attempting (harshly in my eyes.)
Furthermore, he often commented on his love for the area and his hopes that the club could represent the region in a fitting manner. He even looked to pack his side with local lads and Welshmen, clearly pursuing a…

If anyone can explain the enigma of Lee Trundle I’d love to hear it.
I’ve watched football long enough to understand that players can enjoy a sudden upturn of fortunes with a change of club; a guy who looks like a total donkey can dramatically flourish and look like a different man. However, what has ahppened to Trundle is subtly, perplexingly different.
Yesterday Trundle was ninety minutes away from getting into the Premiership; indeed, if a late close range chance that fell to him had…

Brian Little’s first acquisition of the Summer looks a sound one. I seem to recall Paul Carden as a solid box-to-box midfielder, but more importantly he has just been a key part of the Cambridge team which got to the play-off final last weekend. Having seen some high profile Conference players move clubs already it’s good to see we’re not going to be scraping around, but are looking to sign the type of player who has succeeded at that level.

Surprising but terrific news-Carl Tremarco stays! I didn’t expect that to be the case for a moment, but it’s a heck of a boost as we look forward to our step into the unknown. I think it’s fair to say that if Tremarco didn’t have the injury record that he has then he would never have ended up with us in the first place. He’s a good full back, full of energy and positive intent, and if he can stay on the pitch he’ll be a huge asset, no question.
However, his injuries were surely the reason that…

So we might find out what’s going to happen with Steve Evans soon. Or perhaps not. It feels odd to not really be all that bothered.
I always thought a side which is relegated to the Conference would have a nightmare trying to hang onto its talent, so it seems strange to feel fairly ambivalent about whether a current international should stay or not. That’s were I am over this though.
I guess it’s the fact that Evans has made too many mistakes this season. As Brian Little says, he has all…

So Drewe Broughton is looking for a new club! I’ll stick my head above the parapet and say I’m one of the minority-I’d have him back!
Not that I think that’s on the agenda-Brian Little clearly wantsw as clean a slate as possible, and only the youngsters are going to be given a second chance in general. I’d be happy to see Broughton lending his weight to our efforts to return to the Football League for a few reasons…
