BBM: “We want to add to the squad and improve the squad.”


"I think there are a lot of areas that we can improve on the pitch.

"When all things come together, we'll be in a really healthy place."



"I think fitness wise we're improving a lot, and that's very pleasing,” Brian began. "Obviously we want to try and improve our fitness as much as possible, while also not risking any injuries. Today was a very beneficial game for us.

"Our game is very dependent on speed, intensity and real aggression. As we go through the gears in pre-season that should naturally improve.

"I'm grateful to Forest Green Rovers for giving us a game and to have the supporters we had here today was incredible."



"I think there are a lot of areas that we can improve on the pitch.

"We want to add to the squad and improve it as well.”

"When all these things come together, we'll be in a really healthy place."

"We all have a lot to prove, always.

"Our intention is prove it in actions, rather than words."

Get on it then I say ,we have nobody in yet we have 2 players gone, probably our best in wintle and kellyman.

You BBM are dealing with tan you spent time with him at his home surely it's down to you 2 now,
to produce what you need, we fans have no say.

With you all the way Monty,

BBM did line up Bristol Rovers away as well but they would not pay the police costs

I believe he knows he needs another game and some players in now.

I just hope he really is being backed by Tan

Apart from Robinson and tanner we had a bunch of kids on the bench no prob with kids from the academy but no new signings to try out we are 3 weeks away from the championship we have no settled 11 to date, we seem all over the place regarding a settled 11.

You two are the most negative posters on here (apart from me of course!) ;)

We have to wait for players apparently for however long it takes - nobody else has signed any players yet. They're all waiting for as long as possible. Don't you know how transfers work?
We need to trust the owner. When has Vincent ever let us down?
We've got until the end of August - no point signing players early. Just have to pay them sooner.
Our youngsters are good enough for at least top 4. Who needs Wintle or Kellyman?
First three games it doesn't matter if we've got no new players - lets just see who's left on the shelf on deadline day.
The club hierarchy know what they're doing - their footballing knowledge is second to none.

I don't know what you're worried about!
