I know that the transfer window is still open but are you happy with the incommings so far? I for one would like us to sign a proven goal scoring forward if finances allow.
Also any news on the fitness of ANG and Lewis Young?
Has Bully signed up a new playing contract or is he being moved upstairs?

In his interview after the Three Bridges game Lewis Young intimated that his playing career was over saying such things as " ...the lads don't see me as a player anymore..." and "... I've got to thank the club for giving me this chance, earlier than I expected..." (those quotes from memory). Link below

ANG is a Southend player. He transferred in October and made 25 ish appearances for them last season. By some chance do you mean Reece Grego-Cox? I can't say I have noticed his name in any of the reports from games and he was training at the end of last season.

Bulman was at the Three Bridges game but didn't appear to be part of the playing squad.

I do think the club should are an announcement regarding Lewis Young ut the last we were told Bulman's contract talks were "ongoing" so there may not be anything that can be said.

I do not expect any marquee signings. The club have moved on from that model. I will say I believe the squad would benefit from a back to goal striker (that doesn't necessarily mean a big lump). Is there one out there in our price range?

Some of the players have hinted to me that Lewis Young has called it a day now, due to injuries and focusing on the coaching. Club haven't said anything yet but have noticed he isn't on the squad list anymore and Archie Davies will be taking over his shirt number this season (as he's been wearing 2 in all the friendlies)

As for Dannie Bulman, he's pretty much stopped playing as he's suggested to me a few times too that he's just going to focus on coaching, but I don't know if he'll still be registered as a player though (so he might be in a matchday squad if say there are a lot of injuries and suspensions in one game)

Reece probably won't be fully fit until around October, that's why he hasn't been in any of the friendlies so far. And as for signing a new striker, yeah I would like to see someone who's great at bringing defenders towards them, thus giving more space for Nichols and potentially Rodari to score quite a few.

Josh Wright is going to concentrate on his other career. I believe he is due to appear on Naked attraction. He is due to appear on Bake off. Again a lot will rest on whether he rises to the occasion (unlike his other career). There was a rumour he'll appear in Made in Chelsea but the reality TV show apparently said they are not sure he's made it in Crawley so how can he fit into the premier league! Josh is understood to be appearing soon on Strictly come dancing. No one is quite sure who'll partner him as Josh was thought to be too slow to keep up with all the other contestants.

He hasn't played in any of the pre season friendlies and when I asked one of the players about him he said he hasn't been in training and doesn't know what's happening with him. Bit strange

It's pretty obvious that he'll partner with his brother Mark, that's after they've finished prepping their Kittyhawk for a flight to Essex of course

Josh and Mark Wright have been working on fitness videos. There is a new one on you tube from yesterday if anyone is interested.

My wife occasionally obtains Hello magazine. Mark especially and occasionally Josh get a mention. John Yems is never featured.
