Seems that way, although looking at comments from Wrexham and Hartlepool fans they seem to be two very different players. Seems like Kitching likes to get forward a lot but isn't the best defensively while James Jennings is a bit more solid but not so good at going forward these days. If i was a betting man, I'd say we plan to play Connor Jennings wide left with Kitching overlapping for the most part but perhaps bring James Jennings in when we have a left footed winger on the left. I'm also not sure Jim goes for the idea of a "backup", more just having different options. Kitching being described as a wing back makes me think he's more likely to be on the left side of a 5 while Jennings would be on the left side of a 4. It's great to have two good looking players for the number 3 position though, given the nightmare we had with it last year. That is my understanding too.

I guess we’ll aim to be running a bigger squad than over the last few years - if not quite two players for every position, somewhere not too far off - maybe more like 20 - 22 players than 16 - 18.
With LB being such a disaster zone post Duxbury, a bit of competition there is a good thing anyway.

If he;s half as good as McNulty he will do, one of the most composed classiest defenders ive seen play for us and never gets spoken in the highest regards as others but he's right up there for me

Think the bigger signings yet to come bar Jennings, these are players that will be in demand ans still weighing up their options, these are good signings so far show somw degree of intent to any more marquee signings to believe its a project to be a part of

We don’t have a date for the new season to start and we’ve still got games at our level to be played. We’ve signed a league 1 player and from what I can gather two solid conference players. I’m not sure any signing at this level would really get me off my seat, it’s not going be like Messi or Ronaldo are turning up.

Add them to Hogan, Maynard, Ritchie Bennett, Connor Jennings plus the players we've retained. Clearly there are plenty more to come as well. I'm the opposite of underwhelmed. Overwhelmed you might say.

He said 15-16 for monday, so that may be it for now maybe 1 more, but sounds like 3 deals being discussed currently so this time next week may look different

Both Jennings' bring experience of winning at this level and playing in the one above, Kitching will hopefully solve the LWB problem. Considering we've set a target of 20 players before the season starts we'll almost definitely see three or four more signings soon. 8.0.2 8.0.2
