Rees was released by forest this summer. That is one of the reasons I was disappointed Richards resigned, I hoped we would sign Rees who is younger, just as hard working and technically superior to Courtney. I haven't seen that he's signed for anyone else, though.

Probably no longer in KN's plans, but has anyone heard where Shaun Harrad or Josh Rees are ? And what about Exodus? Whose defence is he un-shoring up next season ???

heard that he is after a right winger and possibly a defender

Maybe Nico is eyeing up a cheap Loan deal for RB cover? I can't think who it was but one of our old managers once said that generally speaking teams prefer to have their players do a pre-season program with the parent club, and then get farmed out on loan just prior to the season starting. I guess we are in that phase now

We look good in goal, most of midfield and up front, but defence looks a bit thin on players, so a proper right back would definitely help, as well as freeing up our most versitile player to play somewhere else. Without a new right back, Verma has to play there and so we lose all of that.
Verma looked every bit a decent right back in the run in last season and I was even more convinced when I saw him play there again against Argyle in pre-season. I agree with what you are saying and it is an area of concern should Verma get injured/lose form or suspended but for me it is less urgent than an extra wide player. In reality we have only Sparkes who can play this role as Hancox is learning his trade and Chaney looks far better centrally. Verma is also never a naturally wide man if you played him in midfield and brought in a right back. Richards is also not a wide player.

Berry is making decent progress and may be back slightly sooner than the New Year so I wonder if we have to take a risk squad wise whether this is area to do in in rather than not providing the team the option of natural width.

So with a few weeks left here is the squad as it stands:

Keeper
Moore
Robba

Left Back
LRT
Nicho (as cover only!)
Mcginty can also cover this position

Right back
Verma
+1 needed (until Berry is back?)

Centre Back
MacDonald
Mcginty
Gerring
LRT can also cover this position

Centre Mid:
Lathrope
Young
Chaney
Duke
Richards
Verma can also cover this postion

Wingers:
Sparkes
+1 needed
Hancox
perhaps Chaney could do a job as cover?

Strikers
Blissett
Williams
Reid (3 month loan)

TOTAL - 18 (19 when Berry is fit and if he signs terms)

I think perhaps we might be able to get one more in (right winger ideally) but I doubt we will see anymore additions (unless he can get a freebie in on loan). Perhaps Chamberlain might get non-contract terms as a 4th striker but I wonder if he will be able to take this option income wise. Hopefully one of the midfielders signed can do a shift at right back or if the worst happens we could get a quick loan in (I think McD played RB for a time whilst at Salisbury if we get to a desperation level).

Since leaving Plymouth he has been playing for Truro where he has scored 20 goals in 40 apps over the last 2 seasons. I asked a friend who is a Truro Fan about him and he said he is very good player but has had an issue with a groin problem, hence why he has only played 40 games in 2 seasons. If we can keep him fit he could be a good addition to the squad.
Would be a decent signing (if he can stay fit) but Masters is quoted as saying in March they want a big fee for him if he is to leave so not sure what would have changed so we could pick him up for free!

Think he would be the sort of player that kev likes the look of.. wont be looking for a chunk of a wage, local, young, got goals in him.. not too shabby..plus we are in need of a winger/striker :)

Like his older cousin he's only a wee lad but could be just the diamond in the rough/late developer type that we need to be looking for. I'm guessing free and assuming cheap, probably a no brainer cheap squad player that has potential to make himself a first team player.
