So it's looking like DJ is gonna have a solid season for us, genuinely expecting around 20 + goals & assists or thereabouts.
Albie seems ready to start but I do think we need a more solid midfielder with him and to help Dobson. It could be Gilbey I suppose? Either way in the cm department as long as we get a more solid 8 and then our options are Dobson, Gilbey, Morgan, Watson and a youth player (Henry?) That will do for me.
We just need a bit more attacking quality, a left back, a centre back and I would say we are good to go imo. It's nowhere near as bad as being made out. 1 mill to 2 mill range spent on this squad and we will be right up there
Whys Adkins sunning himself in the garden?!!!!! He should be managing. Does he not know it’s only three weeks till the Wednesday game. And what’s that on his pad? A list of current transfer targets??!!!!!

Fucking wibble. Wobble. Wibble.
That blank page with the pen on it is clearly our list of transfer targets...

Adkins is using the pre- season jollies to test out what we have and what (he thinks) we need. Still quite a while before the proper stuff starts

Yes, no panic for me at the moment, it’s fitness for whom we have, the eventual new recruits will catch up/ fit in. There is no way TS,NA,are going to settle for what we have. Unless people are doubting TS already. Then PANIC!!!!!!!!!!!😂
Nowhere? Someone just said he's been out with a niggle.
That was specifically Gilbey. Adkins said so.
But he did tell us that Innis was to join the training last Monday. I would guess it's too soon for him to get games. Adkins has previously told us that Inniss has had his own schedule or whatever .... as he's expected to be a big player for us this season. Something like that.
Why does he still need his own regime. That doesn't sound so good to me.
Imagine everyone gets their own personalised regime for the off-season during the summer and then during pre-season, BMI | Heart-Rate | pure fitness... Everyone is going to be different with what they can hack each day / week.
Agreed but hope he isn't this years Aneke.
He managed about a third of the minutes of Aneke last season, suprised you don't want him to go part time.

I remember before the players came onto pre-season training us betwetters were told to pipe down as nothing ever happens until players come back. Then once we started pre-season training & still no major signings we were good to wait until the pre-season games kicked in.
Now we've had 3 games in a week, with the same players (minus the already injured ones) we are told to wait until the season starts.
Even then, once the season starts, and we are still 4 or 5 players short we will be told to wait until the transfer window closes.
I suppose I'm just going to have to wait until Aug 31st before we see us bring in the players tha will "blow us through this league".
FWIW, we currently have just 1 wide player, 3 centre halves (1 of which hasn't played a PSF game & 1 who was only re-signed so he could be back up or help coach), 5 midfielders (2 of which are defensive (and one of those is 36 and, again, supposed to be just a back up) and of the 3 "attacking" midfielders 1 is out injured until xmas and another not trusted last season because he didn't track back enough. After all that we still need to replace our main striker.......

Yes you are, like the rest of us and banging on about won't change it.
Nice crisp edge to the lawn which could do with a summer fertiizer though. Flower border is a bit 'green', no colour, no blooms. Could do with some mulch as well. Lloyd loom chair and table shows where some of the transfer budget has gone!

all guesswork from us ain't it .. I say again, I don't expect to see many more new faces this close season apart from a few (groan, mutter, w t f) loans. Sandy will not be spending his cash like a drunk on shore leave before he sees the cut of Adkins's jib and how the team is progressing. Harking back to Curbs in the Wembley Chapter 1 season .. the team was doing OKish but it wasn't until later in the season when he and Murray had a real idea of what was needed to complete his team that Mills, Youds and Bowen were brought in. Those signings were the final difference between just missing out on and getting promotion. For my part, so long as we start off the season (once more) OKish, I'll be content with new blood being signed at Christmas after Sandy and Nigel have a better idea of what is really needed player wise. And I really do believe we will start the season pretty well. Our existing squad, although light on numbers is not too shabby. Let's all hope the injury genie keeps right away from the Valley ..
For all those melting... It's a pre-season friendly.
and melting is the right word, playing in that heat was a real test .. or do you mean the frustrated fanbase self immolating cos we have yet to sign Messi and 'Arry K ?

(Apologies if that sounds slightly positive)

Obviously another excuse to not sign anyone it will just be frees, kids and loans blah blah bollocks.

But apart from that all is fine with the world.
Your know it makes sense
