You can of course make a case that starting the season with the squad we ended last season with could supply us automatic promotion. The points gained under Atkins would back that up. If you hold that view, and I am sympathetic to it, it is positive we are re-signing a lot of the players.addick1956 said:
I am not unhappy with where we are. Remember where we were. However I am now immune to lies after 4 years Donald Duck and ' Fat Boy blond ' so I am shocked that TS now says CAFC will do their utmost to get promoted. I would hardly expect less.Dazzler21 said:

In the interview above, he just said 'we will try our upmost to get promoted this season to the Championship'.
You can now reset your baseline of expectations in accordance to his exact words, and refer to the ambitions in the latest interview which supersedes anything said last season.
re-set .
He has signed a manager that has had consecutive promotions to maximise his chances.
If we fail again, I'll be interested to see how he chooses for us to proceed.
I am fully aware it is not my money of course.
I just want sensible honest talking. Not
However if we are aiming to 'smash this league we should be aiming at signing the best players available to win this division in positions still to be filled.
If we are going to appraise where we are at the eve of our first pre-season friendly, we are still Aneke and Millar down as well as Forster-Caskey. We have to appreciate that the best loans come later because the mother clubs make the decisions late and we can expect to strengthen there. We also know we are still looking to bring players in. As we stand, we are ok but not stronger than last season but we haven't got to the icing on the cake stage and the cake seems to have been baked.2 -
TS said in the interview "plenty more to come", perhaps we might get another 1 or 2 announced today, before they leave for Wales?4

Fingers crossed for Ronnie, really hope he can have the impact Thomas expected.

The team has to set up to accommodate him. A lot will depend on how Adkins wants to play. How Ronnie performs in pre-season will be interesting.4

I think we’ll make 2 - 3 permanent signings and use up our remaining four loans. Anything less and it won’t have been a good window. I’m still hoping that our marquee signing is still to come but I get the feeling it was Jayden.0

Troy Parrot of spurs loves a beer and thinks he is better than what he is according to someone I know who has watched him many times. Maybe that's why he done nowt at Millwall or Ipswich2

I am happy with what we have done so far but would like us to sign at least one outfield player we haven't owned or part owned before.2

He often needs a rest so an ideal replacement for Chucks 🙂I-SAW-POUSO-PLAY said:I think we should try and get John Parrott if he’s allowed to go out on loan4 -

Absolutely delighted to get Famewo, especially with the option to buy.
Pleased we have secured Stockley.
Dobson, looking forward to seeing him play. Is he better than Pratley? We'll see, but he has age on his side.
Goalie looks a decent replacement for Amos.
On the back of owner and manager comments I was expecting some wow factor signings, a notion that has since been "corrected".
State of mind at the moment? Excited about the coming season, if not especially excited about the squad at the moment.2 -
Ronnie is clearly a fantastic finisher. I felt for him with his girlfriend and baby being back in Denmark. Hopefully if he stays he'll be able to move them over for the start of the season. He seems a popular lad in the group and I genuinely believe if he gets his head right he could do really well next season. Think he's a player that will benefit from the fans being back in.Scoham said:Schwartz’s had had an extended break due to personal issues.32 -
“All the players are training so well. The medical sports science team – Danny Murphy, Josh Hornby, Adam Coe and Ben Talbot – they have been absolutely brilliant."
Our Thomas is definitely paying NA commision per mention for the medical and sports science team. Before you know, it will be our Medical team sponsored by Zynex is excellent :-)2 -

Cheers JR for the information on Ronnie Schwartz.
We are in the era of Southgate now, where players feelings off the pitch matter. Ferguson, Clough are history. You can't punch players like Roy Keane, in the dressing room or be so enraged a flying boot hits the face of the most famous footballer of a generation.
The flip side to Ronnie being given compassionate leave is, he is still playing catch up after missing two weeks of Pre season. You can train on your own but you aren't doing the drills and hard yards with the other players. Ronnie Schwartz needs his partner and baby with him to even start to make a success on the pitch. Let alone ways to make partnerships on the field work. Ronnie needs to play off a target man like Stockley as he proved when close to Chuks in scoring at the valley. That is Nigel's problem to sort out.
It's imperative we get players in ASAP; Steve Gallen and Co have been working since the last day of the season to achieve this aim.6 -
I've said before but unfortunatley the way Adkins has previously set up means the game won't suit Ronnie he needs to play in a two. His hold up and link play was absymal last season ... obviously he didn't play loads, but I remember in one game (Fleetwood away?) he didn't even touch the ball.
Needs to be offloaded. best for both parties.1 -

How can you judge his hold-up and link play when he hasn't touched the ball?
From what I remember, in the early games where we did pass to him, his passing was excellent.4 -

I can’t remember who it was against but he played a very good ball through to bogle who was one on one with the keeper and bogle fell over.Chunes said:How can you judge his hold-up and link play when he hasn't touched the ball?

Yeah I remember a crisp pre-assist to Millar, too. There are a lot of questions over whether he suits League One football or how he fits into this team, but I don't think there any questions over his technical ability. The guy is a technician if nothing else.Todds_right_hook said:

Bristol Rovers away. Then Schwartz tripped over himself with the goal gaping and it all went downhill from there.Todds_right_hook said:

He's got the ability for sure. But if he's got the temperament or the mentality is the pressing question now I think.Chunes said:

I also remember when he came on for his debut against Accrington and immediately sent through a smart chip that nearly cleared their defence. You could see straight away that he was intelligent and good with the ball, so I'm really not surprised to hear there's personal issues with Ronnie. To hear some people talk about him you'd think he was just a bloke who stands on the penalty spot and waits for the ball to bounce in off him, but you don't achieve as much as he has in his career by being solely a poacher, not since about 1989. The fight completely drained out of him as the season went on and the fact he wasn't touching the ball at all sometimes tells you he just wasn't really present. I hope he gets his issues sorted out for his sake and ours, I'm certain there's a good player in there and I want him to succeed for us.Chunes said:
