There's only so long the old 'remember where we were a few years ago' line will wash I'm afraid.

Yes Dave is trying to steady the ship, yes the rent is crippling, yes we have lost three excellent players this summer but come on, can anyone really be happy with the signing of a 36 year old who was at Holbeach last season?

So we've gone with someone who was barely good enough for UCL last season, a kid out of the reserves who's basically a battering ram and Liam who's a decent player when he's not on the treatment table......

Sorry but thats not good enough, not nearly good enough.

After the signing of Holsgrove I was pleasantly optimistic,but these are nothing signings.

Couldn't have put it better myself.

Maybe thought he was a bit better than he actually is.....

Yep, lets have a few more in the same vein.

One swallow a summer doth not make.......but its a step in the right direction.

danny thomas, courtney alexander, lee thompson, where are these boys now? all class players a few years back however im backing stones for uniteds top goal bagger this season!

Danny Thomas- good on his day but an expensive luxury

The other two- you are having a laugh right?

If Mickey Stones is top goal scorer it'll either be a shocking season for the 1st team or another successful one for the reserves!

I'm of the same opinion as you, he's at the highest level he'll ever attain, he's probably doing what most lads do now and looking for another club and another signing on fee.
Be interesting to see his reasoning, I just hope its not as laughable as Yates'!!!!

Has anyone actually thought that SWD has taken stock of the situation, seen the mediocrity of the signings so far and thought 'sod this, I'm not being part of a mid table side after the last 2 good years' and exercised his right to look elsewhere?

Or are we not allowed such thoughts for fear of upsetting the happy clappers and performing seals that would applaud a washing line full of Utd shirts on here?

I liked him, I wish him well. I didn't think he was quite the player after Xmas that he had been for the previous 12-16 months but he was one of those who made things happen. I don't see anyone like that in the side at present.

Most boston fans wont give players a chance they would rather rite people off b4 they start id rather they piss off and support someone else

Thats a great idea, the club works hard enough to attract fans through the gate and here's you saying you'd rather people stay away if they aren't going to join the 'happy clappers'........

Football is a game of opinions, my opinion is we look like we've missed the boat as far as quality signings go.......should I piss off and support someone else after 35 years?

He's every right to question some of the names mentioned, its becoming a joke. Jamie Stevens yes, Liam Parker and Julian Joachim........if thats as good as it gets then Dave made the wrong choice appointing managers.

I hope its idle press speculation but the longer this summer wears on and the longer the list of underwhelming potential signings becomes, the less I'm becoming enamored with these two.

Prove me wrong.

Please.

There will be people who say they are wrong to leave, call them Judas, say they conned the club and the fans.

The term Judas surely doesn't apply to any player who takes up an opportunity to progress to a higher-level? Surely it only applies to those players who jump ships to a comparable or lesser club but for solely financial reasons. Those players clearly aren't in the game to try and better themselves.

Good luck to Shaun Pearson and Anthony Church. Hope they are welcomed back to Boston as legends one day. Jamie Yates, on the other hand .....

The 'legends' thing is all a bit of a gimmick though isn't it.......I mean probably 8 out of every 10 were decent lads but never legends and lets be honest here none of the current crop can be classed as legends after 2 seasons!

Legends wear the shirt for 4 or 5 plus seasons like Tex Hardy, John McKenna, Cookie, Baz and re,ain fans favourites long after they've left the club.

Really they ought to rename the slot Pilgrims Personalities.....

And you're right LP, if Yeates ever gets asked back as a legend we may as well start taking random blokes off the Townend and parade them as legends!

As far as I am concerned SWD can clear off and sign for anyone who will pay him more money than we are prepared to. We do not want mercenaries like that playing for the club. If he really wanted to play for Boston Utd he would have signed by now.

Good ridance along with Yates and Clarke. We have got better players in anyway to cover these last two, and there are bound to be plenty of players desparately looking to play for decent teams like Boston Utd.

But please dont sign older ex players. The thought of JJ coming back is concerning

Well said that man!

Yeah I'm not saying that the town has turned its back on the club, more that its a club in steady decline. If Lincoln aren't careful they'll be in the same boat as York,Mansfield and Cambridge, if ever a club needed to get off to a flyer next term its The Imps or they'll be stuck down here years.

Footballer in not being 100% honest with the fans shocker......

He did a very good job for us, but like Pearson I'm really disappointed with his choice of club, both could have done far better than they have done, even if they had a good relationship with the managers.

I do think Grimsby will have a good season with their signings to date but they really aren't the club they were a decade or so ago, to me they are smaller than Lincoln now and when the likes of Doncaster have overtaken them it tells you a lot about the club and how its been run, perhaps H&S will turn it round but all I see is a club in steady decline.

Another York or Cambridge.

All I am going to say is that he could have done better.

A lot better.

But all the best to him.
