Week to go before the season starts , and we’re about 6/7 players short. Weaker squad than we had this time in the division below last year . Bang in trouble as it stands .
Don't know about 6-7. I'd say closer to 4-5. Two forwards, 2-3 midfielders. Before the first game last season we were still to bring in Bielik, Steer, Cullen, and Ward, with Fosu and Reeves out injured. Neither make for particularly pretty reading, and we only named five on the bench against Sunderland I believe.
I was incredibly critical of the squad then. This time around, we have three fewer weeks of the window in which to secure loans, and nobody to come back from injury to give us a boost in a month or two. Gallen, Bowyer, Jacko et al have done it before, but it was also some good work in January that got us over the line. I worry that that leaving it so late magic won't work a second time around.
It's called clutching at straws and pissing against a strong wind whilst doing £10 on a dud scratch card!
Bows and Gallen will be shoping for cheap loans on Money Supermarket...
The bodies we do get in will still think they are playing for their real employers as they skin on a strange shirt and run out to WTRRR... in a couple of weeks.
