Reading Rebel Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 (edited) I thought I'd start this thread in anticipation of today's news and going forward to the start of the new season. Due to popular demand 😅 I'll update this list as and when required. Goalkeeper Defenders Josh Jackman Gabe George Midfield Scott Davies Johnny Goddard Matt Lench Forwards     Edited May 15 by Reading Rebel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SloughFlyer Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 (edited) First name on the list - Scott Davies - Midfielder (although sometimes defender as well) Edited May 12 by SloughFlyer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlenSTFC Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 Not sure we’ll hear today as Scott did say he hoped to announce mid week but as that’s passed there may be some negotiating still on going. Be interesting if any retained players sign contracts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GlenSTFC Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 I’m a little confused why only 2 players have been announced unless negotiations are still ongoing with the others? Otherwise I don’t get this slow drip feed? I could understand this method for new signings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reading Rebel Posted May 12 Author Share Posted May 12 It's probably just a more interesting and exciting way of doing it rather all at once and then nothing until the newbies are announced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise I don’t get this slow drip feed? I could understand this method for new signings. Slow drip feed? More like snail pace. Least we have Josh Jackman and Johnny Goddard nailed down to stay [if they are men of their word,as we know from past seasons, players can renege because they get a better offer from another club] unless of course, these two are contracted. I'm pleased both want to stay, as they have a lot to offer our team.Neither of them would be short of being tapped up by other clubs imo. Josh has been a favourite of mine since he first arrived at our club and he is my first name on the teamsheet. To my mind we are lucky to have him, as I think he could easily play in the league above. Now we just need Matt Lench........Ogo Obi.........Joe Dandy ........Shane Bush.......Gabe George.......whoever?  Edited May 13 by 3spirit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t see many if any going away before sorting out if they’re staying or not as this was probably all arranged for that first week after the season finished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll always get the odd player who will chase the money and renege on their word, to those I'd say good riddance clubs are better off without them. I call Josh Jackman Mr consistent, always averaging a 7 or 8 out of ten. Like all modern full backs these day's he's better going forward than defending. Johnny Goddard is a great signing providing he produces his second half of the season form which was top draw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reading Rebel Posted May 13 Author Share Posted May 13 What keeper we get I think will be crucial to what sort of season we'll have. We were spoilt with Will Dennis and to get someone similar will be almost impossible. Dan Lincoln has been mentioned but I think getting him is just a pipe dream if only because of the money he was on at Dorking. He has connections with Slough having played for their cricket club for 2 seasons and I think still does coaching there. Other than that it's anyone's guess who will be between the sticks.

I dunno RR, stranger things have happened… plus he’s a Berkshire boy! I don’t think we will get him simply because he’ll have offers in the NL and even if he decided to play at our level his wages might be an issue. Then again I had very similar thoughts about Goddard thinking no way we’d get a sought after player but somehow we did. So you just never know and yes he’d be as good as Will and would show real intent too. 32 minutes ago, Reading Rebel said: What keeper we get I think will be crucial to what sort of season we'll have.

Or we could save a packet on wages and give Rhys another try? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
