New signings
Thought it's worth starting a new topic for any new signings as, hopefully, there will be a lot of them in the coming weeks.
Ollie Bray joins from Salisbury- by all accounts a big, physical attacker and fairly quick too. Hasn't scored many goals recently though and a few questions over his fitness. May have better luck a division down.
Connor Barrett joins from Hanworth Villa- I like the look of this signing a lot, attacking midfielder and set piece specialist. Really highly thought of at Didcot and Basingstoke.
Both 23 years old so not sure if they'll be part-time or full-time in the 'hybrid model'.

Re: New signings
At last we are signing players which is a positive, would be happier to know we have a goalkeeper on board, seems to be younger players coming to join,bit of experience in the team would be good.

Didn't they have a kid from the academy on the books last season but decided to get someone in on loan for the last game when Will Henry was unavailable?
Doubt there will much experience in there any time soon (unless these latest experiment goes pear-shaped). All about the academy structure.- more Chippenham Park (remember them?) rather than Chippenham Town.

Definitely signing young players, some of whom I assume will be unproven in men's football. It's difficult to see how this strategy fits with the very bold club statement 2 days after relegation which stated that the club would do everything it could to get back to NLS as soon as possible. I suppose there has been a rethink based on realistic finances. At least it's going to be interesting.....
