Won't be long before someone's bashing him.

RE: Colby Bishop on his way - bluetagagain - 21-07-2022
3 more players and that should set us up.
1. Another CB ( would love Carter again).
2. A right winger / wide midfielder
3. Another striker - surprised we didn’t take Afolabi ( he’s now gone Forest Green).
RE: Colby Bishop on his way - Pedalo_menders - 21-07-2022
We own a striker! Good to see it's a 3 year deal.
RE: Colby Bishop on his way - BlueArmy - 21-07-2022
He hasnt played for a club anywhere near our size so we will see how he does.

Happy with the signing. Not so sure about that shirt.

He's been playing against the same opposition as he will be facing with us and done well.
We could not have done much better than Pigott & Bishop in looking for players successful at our level.

It's good to see we once again have a representative of the House of Lords. Marquis gone but now we have a Bishop. Maybe we should sign Josh Earl from Fleetwood next.

Judging from the haircut I'd have thought Dominican Friar.....but pleasantly devoid of tattoos!

Another central defender
Another Central midfielder
Another winger
Another attacking midfielder (for when Jacobs breaks down again)
Another striker
Mnoga,Mingi,Vincent - should probably go on loan til Xmas to get some proper mens game time
Not sure why we need another central midfielder - we've already got Pack, Morrell, Thompson, Tunnicliffe. Mingi. Jewitt-White & Bridgeman fighting for two places, or three at a stretch depending on the formation.
Even if you only regard the first four of them as first teamers it is hard to accommodate them already, but the evidence of pre-season is that the other three are good enough to feature if necessary. .
I can't see many more signings now, probably just centre back cover (Thomas?) and one more backup striker (the spurs lad?). He wants a smallish squad - roughly two for each position - and that would give him that, with some youngsters who look increasingly ready not included in that.
As long as the new keeper and new right-back are solid we have a very good looking squad - DC asked to be judged after three wndows and on paper I would say he has done well, they just need to do it on the pitch now.
I wasn’t impressed with what I saw of Tunnicliffe last season,Thompson needs to be ‘minute managed’ - the injury to Morrel highlights lack of depth in the engine room
Are the fringe/inexperienced players good enough - personally I haven’t got a scooby - if we want to just exist again in this division I reckon your correct BUT if we truely desire promotion we need more solid/experienced players in there
RE: Colby Bishop on his way - bluetagagain - 22-07-2022
I think Mingi will be a squad player and is good defensive midfield cover. Vincent, J-W, Bridgeman, Gifford and Seaward will most probably be loaned out.

The player is with us and everyone is Appy except Appy who as usual just can not leave it alone whilst saying he will leave it alone!
The man is a serious narcissist.
No one really cares. We are all Appy with result
