Not yet. I don’t think this manager likes to let such information out until late on either. Which is fine by me given who the visitors are.

GJ's comments after last night's game hint at further player changes before he's happy.

I thought Essuman did ok - its when he went off we started to struggle. Hes better than Wynter that's for sure.

Basically the midfield was poor last night - probably unsurprising that Dixon came up short due to his lack of fitness. Put Asa Hall and Andrews alongside L-Evans and we would look like a different team.

With Essuman out I think we are short at the back (and short in midfield without the aforementioned pair)

With Wright gone and two or three others out on loan I do wonder whether we might add this week.

do we expect any movement this week in the transfer market? with the injuries we have especially in defense its imperative we have a proper back 3/4 for billericy.

see dan holman has been released by aldershot who johnson had at cheltenham, personally i dont like seeing keating on the left hands side, kalvin has been poor the last couple of games and very lightweight, would like to see the player we have been linked with alex addai signed.

If Andrews is back, I’m reasonably sure that Kalala will be on the bench at best. Wynter, Niate and Cameron can all do centre-back in a back three and Sokolik is back in training. I hope Hall is back soon as he knits it all together in midfield.

I don’t know what the prognosis is on Essuman? I’m not that concerned if we don’t add any this week if Sokolik is deemed ready for the bench. Longer term I was thinking the right side of our defence is a weakness, but most felt Essuman did well there at Wealdstone.

Chris Todds Gloucester city have signed Andre Wright

He never really had a chance to prove himself, especially with the Bristol City loan players doing so well. Potentially a good prospect, and best of luck to him with his new club, apart from when they come to Plainmoor!

And Jason Banton out on loan to St Albans.

Portsmouth have reported that Alex Bass will be out for at least another 3 weeks

GJ said in the radio interview after the Winchester game that Sokolik, Nabi and Dickson were all expected to return to full training this week.

That's some strength in depth and serious competition amongst the squad now!

Sokolik has had a dire run of injuries/illness since he has been here. However if fit hes more than capable at this level.

With Wright only here to the new year he is odds on to be leaving before then.

Nabi came highly regarded. From what I saw of him during pre season he was way off fitness which didnt really improve with what game time he got between injuries. Not sure whether GJ will have the patience to wait.
I d definitely keep Dickson.

Banton, Wright and Regis must surely be leaving soon if there are any takers.

nabi and sokolik ones to be released soon, does dickson have a future with us?

haven't heard if regis has left yet? surely we can loan them out to someone

If he stays fit and his wages aren't too high then Sokolik is a more than adequate backup at this level. Nabi is a very promising player whi hopefully when fit will be challenging Lemonheigh-Evans for his spot. Dickson is a quality player.
We can't be getting rid of everyone! We need quality and competition and backups, I think these players you mentioned are good for all those things and are hopefully here until the end of the season.
