He was very good for us last season,played a big part in keeping us up.
Closer to home and the fact that he knew how bad a team we have probably swung it in their favour.
Good luck jack.

What a joke we are becoming. Obviously the club released the news of little signing to try and soften the blow. The picture of little with a scarf at the mem with sand in the background was taken weeks ago. The club must think we're f**kin stupid.

Soften the blow? - he wasn't our player, he was going to move clubs, had options obviously and may have had a better overall offer including lifestyle - he might prefer the East than the West, some people do. |

Was never going to be signed, he was a Clarke signing and Coughlan wouldn't want that.

Have you ever been to Gillingham? It makes Swindon look like a pleasure resort. Or do you mean he's going to commute to Kent from Ho Chi Minh City? |

Was never going to be signed, he was a Clarke signing and Coughlan wouldn't want that. That was my interpretation too - wants his own players in. I am not a Coughlan fan - I thought we looked a mess in most of the games I saw under him but he got the results and to be fair so far he appears to have done a fairly decent job on recruitment. Little looks another good signing on paper. So he does seem to be fishing in a different player pool to DC and that may be his main asset to us. Of course our past of past record of signing players with good 'pedigree' to 2/3 year deals has not been particularly impressive....But if you were inclined to optimism (not in massive supply here I admit) then you could probably hope, based on evidence so far, that he has a remit to bring in higher quality players.
On the other hand I could just be guilty of this - 'If nothing else works, a total pig-headed unwillingness to look facts in the face will see us through.' - General Melchett, Blackadder.

Probably is about time we replaced Mildenhall.

He lives in Stevenage, not a million miles from Gillingham, and he wasn't our player

Not sure what picture you're thinking of, but it looks like "baby grass" to me - exactly what should be the case yesterday! Still, why waste an opportunity for some negativity... |

OK, let's check the lists of favourite places to live and see how many times Gillingham gets a mention. It's a total dump with nothing whatsoever going on. Just Googled 'Interesting facts about Gillingham', it was fascinating, did you know as recently as 1951 there was a terrible bus crash there? It's quite possibly the most boring, lifeless Town in Britain. |

It seems to me that we are losing all of our players who have shown a modicum of ability and retaining a group of very average players, if Coughlan keeps us up this season he should be given a manager of the year award.

I think you will find all the players Clarke signed don't want to play for coughlan. Not the other way round.

Not a single non-working score board, broken drain downpipe or tent in sight. |

Frank Fielding released by Bristol City would be a fantastic goalkeeper for us. Listened to his interview on Having A gas recently and he intends playing for several more seasons and would relish a challenge.
