We haven't a clue whether Kouyate will be good or bad but I can't see the other 3 striking too much fear into any defence. I'd be more than happy if Telford and Garner were both moved on before the season begins because if they are going to be the basis of our strike force then we will be in serious trouble!
Looks like we'll be in serious trouble then.

Technically both Garner and Telford are very good players imo. The problem was they never adapted to Wilds style of play. By Clemence own admission the style of play is changing next season so it may get the best out of them both. Don’t forget Garner did well for morecambe on loan

Still haven,t got my season ticket.With the likes of Whitfield gone I,m waiting to see what kind of suitable replacements are brought in before I decide whether to get one and may just get tickets on a match by match basis.After all the success of the last two seasons i don,t want to see us start the season with a weakened side which sees us unable to make a decent start.I am willing to give our new manager a chance,but I want to see some decent signings.Letting the likes of Whitfield go without making him a decent offer could prove to be a big mistake,unless we manage to get equivalent replacements.
Reading between the lines there you've had a season ticket these last two seasons, so you could take up the early bird offer. So you'd rather wait to see what signings we make and then potentially buy a season ticket at a higher price?
Popular side since '03.

How come we are hearing teams signing players?
Mattie Platt leaving Bradford and signing for Notts County .
Bradford have signed players.
He was out of contract and a free agent.
Which also means we could sign players who were out of contract .
The inference was you cannot sign players .

I’ve found it’s much better to reminisce about Dave day on FB than reading nonsense “I’m refusing to buy a season ticket” posts. Incidentally we’ve just hit the 1000 mark.

Meanwhile, Iain Wood has been lying on his sunbed in Tenerife despite what Paul Hornby said in his interview. Stop worrying and enjoy the 'summer' :D

I will take your word for that maybe that's why other players are being signed by clubs

With our strong forward line we also have the experienced David Worrall and Mazeed Ogungbo, Sean Etaluku & Junior Tiensia what more do people want we had too many players last season only need another 4/5 to make a 20 man squad.

As an 11 year old Ged Garner scored 76 goals in a season, breaking a record previously held by Wayne Rooney.
Maybe there is a player who can score goals after all if we set up right.

Not many L2 clubs play 11 year old defenders, but congratulations on your optimistic viewpoint that Garner can emulate Wayne Rooney.

How do you know we haven’t made him a decent offer?

Maybe he’s had better offers from elsewhere?

Maybe he fancies a change of scenery?

You can’t force players to sign.

On paper Cole Stockton and Dom Telford looked easily the best strike force in League Two and I was confident they'd fire you to promotion last season. Unfortunately football's not played on paper and, though obviously I didn't see you play, it would appear the partnership was a damp squib.

They never got enough games together for me.
Both are undoubtedly very good players at this level, but for me we didn’t see the best of them and that in part I think was down to the set up as others have said. Telford in particular started off brightly but just lost his place and never really got a run after that to get going. Stockton started off well too banging goals in but by the end looked well off the pace, possibly due to injury too.

Stockton started well scored a few then lost his form. Telford is a good player but found it difficult to get to grips with Pete Wilds style of play.
