@GillsInTheBlood @TheME7Podcast Can't disagree with this but with regard to full backs, is it more important to recruit specialists in the wing back position or to have flexibility in the formation with full backs who can "do a job" as wing backs.

@TVFTM @YorkCityFC The Crawley team he created first time around was really good and played great football. Hasn't gone so well since then.

@TVFTM Where is Stan Sargent? I assume he must be injured as I haven't seen his name for a long time. Looked to have something about him.

[Daren Chidwick @DarenChidwick]

@TheME7Podcast You are right, Wigan fans last season said that he didn't suit their wing back system. Don't want to see him going to a competitor in L2 though.

[Daren Chidwick @DarenChidwick]

@jamesrtingley Let us know if there is anything interesting!

[Daren Chidwick @DarenChidwick]

@GillsInTheBlood @Deutsch_Gills @TheME7Podcast @Weeks_FF @GillinghamFCSC @Gills365 @simonheadsport @NicholasCoote1 Agreed, always thought there might be a player there. Interestingly he didn't get on even in the last game of last season so not sure GA really fancies him as a midfielder.

@GillsInTheBlood @Deutsch_Gills @TheME7Podcast @Weeks_FF @GillinghamFCSC @Gills365 @simonheadsport @NicholasCoote1 Good to hear 👍

[Daren Chidwick @DarenChidwick]

@GillsInTheBlood Got off to a terrible start with that ridiculous video and don't think fans really accepted him after that. Think he would have been ok if we are going to play wing backs this season. We need a signing or two to pick us up after the England match!

[Daren Chidwick @DarenChidwick]

@TheME7Podcast Seen him on the TV a few times for Bromley and I honestly didn't think he was anything special.

[Daren Chidwick @DarenChidwick]

@tonywoodrow12 Would definitely have liked him back here this coming season.

[Daren Chidwick @DarenChidwick]

@TheME7Podcast I'm not sure there was ever a specific goal set for the end of the 2 year plan. I think it was a way of saying we would stick with the manager come what may. Whenever GA was pressed he said the plan was to leave the club in a better position that when he joined.

[Daren Chidwick @DarenChidwick]

@GillsInTheBlood @OneUpFrontSCFC A good read and I always enjoy his contributions when he appears on the match previews. We don't have a LB currently so could we be looking to play WB's? If so perhaps we should consider Mnoga also.

[Daren Chidwick @DarenChidwick]

@TVFTM @GillsInTheBlood @Deutsch_Gills @Weeks_FF @TheME7Podcast @GillinghamFCSC @simonheadsport @Gills365 @FOM_BLOG I think he's ok as a wingback but needs some serious competition to give him a kick up the arse!

[Daren Chidwick @DarenChidwick]

@TheME7Podcast @GillsInTheBlood Too injury prone and I would hope we can do better.

[Daren Chidwick @DarenChidwick]

@tonywoodrow12 @TVFTM This was how I interpreted it also. And the fact the interview was pre the signing of Goodwin then it could be five. I think quality over quantity is key though.

[Daren Chidwick @DarenChidwick]

@TheME7Podcast @JustAlexUK @GillsInTheBlood @TVFTM @Deutsch_Gills @JamesCleal @ScoopsFM @Luke_Teachen @Truebluejock @CixnWelch Mind boggling to hear that Alex spent circa £5.5k watching the Gills away last season. The definition of a true fan 👏

[Daren Chidwick @DarenChidwick]

@GillsInTheBlood In terms of numbers another 5 or 6 would be fine IMO. I am hoping that 1 or 2 of these will be experienced and proven players. I think Brophy meets that requirement but not Albarus and Goodwin to a lesser extent. I'm not against signing young hungry players but need a balance.
