Signings on a par with last season

Graham Turner doesn't usually rush to make signings. Up to this morning he has only signed three new players for Hereford United out of the seven or eight he may require.

Yet it was much the same this time last year when at this stage of pre-season he had only brought three new faces to Edgar Street.

So far this season the list is as follows:

June 9th Jon Brady from Stevenage
June 23rd Alex Jeannin from Exeter
July 11th Dean Beckwith from Gillingham

Whereas last season:

June 7th Craig Stanley from Telford United
June 14th Adam Stansfield from Yeovil
July 9th Tamika Mkandawire from West Bromwich

Later he added:

July 30th Graham Hyde from Bristol Rovers
August 9th Lee Mills from Telford United
August 9th Mark Robinson from Hartlepool
August 9th Johnathan Gould from Preston North End

With speculation now suggesting that Stacy Coldicott will sign at the end of the month (similar timing to Graham Hyde last season), Turner could be looking for another four players of which one needs to be a goalkeeper and another a forward.
