Fully expect at least 4 loans to come in (gallen has done it in the past, towards the end of the window) as well as hopefully 2-3 permanent signings!Of course it takes time, and people are frustrated but I’m certain there’s cogs turning in the background - which is a stark contrast to how it felt under RD/MS&TN/PE7

The first 11 that started against Reading, if you put Stockley back in, would be good enough for top 6. But if course the number of games that exact 11 will play? More than a hand full?
Now we are playing a right back at left back, two very left footed center backs and are an injury from playing Dempsey.
Of course we will still sign more but seeing it on paper makes it look grim. I am still 100% in the it will be alright in the end camp and it certainly isn't the end.0 -
Not one first team player on the bench. 11 days til the season starts.2

4-0 trouncing.1

With our injuries and lack of signings I think PalARSE might manage to get a consolation, 4-1.ElfsborgAddick said:4-0 trouncing.4 -
I think we'll let the Stripey c*nts get one.ElfsborgAddick said:4-0 trouncing.3 -
Be good to hear JFC on the mic with Terry taking the commentary, could bring some interesting analysis of the game.0

Our squad is seriously under strength.
Season kicks of in about ten days time.
And anyone who moans about it is called a bed wetter or worse.
Call me what you like but as things stand we are mid table12 -
Of all the utter shite we endured under RD I would argue we got in better players than some will be willing to give credit for:sammy391 said:Fully expect at least 4 loans to come in (gallen has done it in the past, towards the end of the window) as well as hopefully 2-3 permanent signings!Of course it takes time, and people are frustrated but I’m certain there’s cogs turning in the background - which is a stark contrast to how it felt under RD/MS&TN/PE

If RD bought in a reserve from Sunderland, a failed striker from his homeland, and a previously unknown (on our forum) from Oxford United i do wonder what the reaction would be. I doubt we would have all be as accommodating.1 - Sponsored links:

FFS - another absolutely shit colour clash. Someone really needs that sack. Idiots.1

I believe Gallen will allocate his budget to give us two players per position. Even last season with a salary cap we managed that.MStuartPerm said:
I hope you are right because as cafc4life has said this squad is not top 6.Scoham said:
Of course it would, but we know this won’t be how the squad looks at the end of the window.cafc4life said:People can butter it up as much as they like and look at where we were etc, but that squad, including the missing players, struggles to get top ten this season as it is now anyway.
Just a shame we still need 4/5 as a minimum rather than 2/3 at most.I was hoping we would get our business done early but clearly not the case.The issue is the 4 or 5 we get in are likely to be loans and apart from Stockley last season I didn’t think much of the rest.I still think we need a left back, decent playmaker, striker and cover at Centre half and that’s without any injuries.
Have to admit been very disappointed with recruitment so far.
I hope and am happy to be proven wrong.
It’s a strong division this season and we can’t afford to still be in it next season.
I also don’t see TS spending millions a year only to attempt to get through a season with u23s covering half the starting 11.
We know we’ll bring in loans, that’s the reality of L1, even Ipswich and Wigan likely will. Most of those come in towards the end of the window when Prem and Champ clubs have their squads sorted.
I’m not confident enough to say we’ll have a promotion squad in place but I’ll be very disappointed if I’m proven wrong about the number of signings coming in.
Clearly we’re not going to throw money at, we don’t have the biggest budget in the league.There’s also a different market with players and clubs happy to wait for the best possible. It’s not helped by the Euros plus the rule changes following Brexit meaning things are slower to move at the levels above. There are fewer players out there as clubs can’t as easily bring in cheaper players from Europe.
We’ll soon have a better idea on how much of this is down to TS not spending enough or if it’s due to the market. It’s easy to jump to conclusions but it wouldn’t be unbelievable if a couple of permanents and 3/4 loans joined by the end of August. Do that and the squad will be stronger, hopefully a lot stronger.4 -
I think everyone agrees with you, other than Colin, but it is the constant reminder of the fact that most take exception to. I am still confident we will make some decent signings before the end of next week.blackpool72 said:Our squad is seriously under strength.

Decent start so far... Jaiyesimi has had a good pre-season2
-
Washington's workrate is unreal.3
-
Ooh, decent recovery tackle from Tomkins otherwise Stockley was in.1
-
Ooo off the line from Tomkins!! - So close from Stockley0
-
And then Tomkins clears a Stockley header off the line.0
-
Our high press is sooooo much better than last season.7

Anyone else think we need to sort our footages saturation? Looks quite washed out.0

Certainly don’t disagree with you. My concern is injuries, we had that great run last season one or two injuries and the season was derailed.Scoham said:

With all the games we have we need at least two decent players for each position which we don’t at the moment.
Fingers crossed in next couple of weeks we will have a much stronger squad.1 -
The biggest thing I'm taking so far isnt the fact that we look alright but the fact that Palace will surely be relegated if they play this shite0
