I hope DM isn’t another “work ard and do a job” type coach at the expense of genuine ability. We’ve had enough of those type of coaches.

He said he had an extensive list of contacts so not sure where it is.

We need a new young squad and he was supposed to be spearheading a major transition. Hope for his sake we hit the ground running. He needs to be ready to take the flack if we don’t.

'Despite their advancing years'

Says it all really. Cheap and cheerful options who no-one else wants.

How many times doesn’t it need to be said they are only training with us to help them gain fitness to find another club, we aren’t interested in them.

Read Matt Wilsons latest piece mate , quote from Moore on the players . Its more than just training to get fit.

id be amazed if any of them sign for us and it’s not just Moore helping them out and trying to ignite some interest in them.

[WorcsWBA]

not blaming Darren at all but those who are involved in player recruitment, might as well have kept the three players we left go if we are going to replace with similar aged journeymen.

Who's left at the club who is involved with identifying targets?

Darren Moore spent his career playing in the second division and below so he’s up to speed on championship journeymen. I don’t trust him - already incompetent enough to release Yacob for god sake who will cost millions to replace. Whole club is as professional as an episode of dream team.

I agree on this, is/was so obviously too good to let go.
Could have used him as the centre pin to build a team around.

It’s all very noble of us but why not send them to any of our local rivals like walsall or Coventry if they want to get fit.

I’d imagine because we have better facilities and it’s costing us nothing to have them adding numbers to the training camps

doesn't sound right, a team that's just dropped out the premiership having to rely on non contracted players to make the numbers up for training, we'll be using jumpers as goalposts next.😕

when relegated there will always be cut backs, just maybe Darren Moore wants to go down the route of playing kids and its his call, it will be his call to take old men on tour to scotland, all new signings will be his call..easy to blame jenkins as big dave is a legend but when the kids arent good enough and we sign players like roofe and sawyers are probably struggling then it will all be down to Darren Moore. It will be the biggest mistake in our history but fans will back him into league1..enjoy

Not a million miles from the truth and why I believe Darren Moore will be relieved of the responsibility well before bonfire night

One quote about taking players on a training camp and all of a sudden we're relegation candidates? Superb.

The club obviously did take these players on to help them with their fitness, if they've shown the fit in well to the group and potentially have something to add Darren Moore would be foolish to come out in the press and say otherwise, there's no harm in looking at the whilst they're training with us.

How about this quote...

“We have offers in for players at the moment,” he said. “Now it’s just trying to agree fees with the clubs we are trying to get them from from and obviously personal terms.

“Hopefully we can get them over the line and see one or two new faces coming to the club.”

[SmethDan]

Don't really understand the anti Darren Moore sentiments thus far, nor the fears regarding relegation.

Pre season........

[17GD]

Not sure DM has had complete control over Yacob and McAuley leaving. They themselves could have decided not to sign another contract.

To be fair every season we were in the premierleague fans in June/July were tipping us to go down. Last season was the only one where I can remember people being positive about the squad we had an look what happened 

[tuamigos]

Not sure DM has had complete control over Yacob and McAuley leaving. They themselves could have decided not to sign another contract.

McAuley actually said in an interview that he didn't know what was happening as no one had contacted him to discuss his contract situation.
I got the impression that no contract had been offered

[Chipperfan]

I’m pretty excited for next season. It’s time we got back to producing great teams from the youth system.

[Blowee]

It's also good to see the players actually training rather than taking taxis or out clubbing!

I'm not sure what point you're trying to make about the quote, but I think we've had 7 players leave and 1 has come in so far, so what does Darren mean by "see one or two new faces coming to the club"? Is that until more players go or is it the sum total of what we hope to sign? Either way it suggests that we're going to be relying a lot on unproven youngsters whom apart from Leko, have never played at this level.

That we are in the market for players. If posters are able to read one quote and declare us relegation candidates then I thought I'd post that one for a bit of balance.

Exactly. The kids are only going to prove themselves if they get the chance. If we have a team full of home grown players then our support will be 100% behind them, the atmosphere will be the best it's been for years and I've got a gut feeling that the kids will rise to the occasion. If they know the supporters are totally behind them, which they will be, the youngsters will be able to play without any fear and I think will surpass the levels of ability that they might have previously shown on loan at lower level clubs. We will have an identity back which is all too rare these days and I for one will be delighted with that.
