    Three signings next week and we can all agree we are on track for a cracking season.

    It is tomorrow that training starts.
    We leave for Spain on Saturday.
    Depends who the 3 are doesn't it?

    If its Gunter, Watson and Souare I think we would all agree we won't be on for a cracking season.

    Even if it's 3 cracking signings it still depends if we back it up or not.  We started last seasons business well enough. 

    I wish I could be as blindy optimistic as you. 
    Great news, the Black Box, it say “NO” to all three of those players so we will not be signing them. What a start to the week!

    If you will still be pessimistic even of we signed three players this week, let alone “cracking” signings, then I feel a little sad for you. 

    For me, three permanent signings this week will show we are progressing as a club as I trust SG to get in good ones, and then we will be able to have a good shot at top six. Really exciting time of the year and looking forward to the new season.

    Live, Love, Laugh and be happy 😊

    How many first team players does the club have at the moment. 
    17, including the 2 keepers. 
    Did you forget to put the cat out, Mr Purrington 😺, taking it down to 16. So it's a possible 12 in, (6 perms, 6 loans)
    6 of them would have to be "under age"......

    Jonny Williams signing tomorrow according to Facebook


    Update on this, the person who posted it insisted it is Williams and heard him say he’s signing for Gillingham.

    I'd be amazed if we signed 12 new players. I think 7 is a more realistic number, but of course it depends on who leaves. For example we could easily keep MacGillivray, but i'm not convinced he can play the way Garner wants, so him going would obviously mean a new keeper coming in.

    If we only sign 7 players (including loanees) then I'll be throwing in the towel.

    Ah, now by my recknoning I think you might be wrong about that. Only 5 would have to be under age. You're forgetting that Albie Morgan is really Peter Pan 🤣

    I'll be optimistic when there is something to be optimistic about.

    I see absolutely no reason to be optimistic, nor to be all doom and gloom either.

    I'll judge our business as and when it gets done.

    Blind faith on SG getting the good ones in, after the last 3 windows, is just that.  Blind faith.

    Never heard of him personally but having looked, he has played basically 4 full seasons at League One, mainly as a right back. 2 years at Accrington Stanley, one season at Portsmouth, and one year on loan at Fleetwood. Rarely misses a game and usually plays 90 minutes but doesn’t have many assist, although he did score 4 times last season. Seems a solid right back from the very, very little information I’ve put together.
    sort out a solid back 4 and let the 6 players in front create

    Based purely on last summer?

    Sourae, Henderson, Kirk, Matthews so that's 4 out of 7.

    Window before Rocket Ronnie and DJ 2/2

    Then we have the Watson, Gunter, Maddison, Boggle, Matthews again window.

    Of course we have signed SOME good players.  Of course we will sign some more.  Will we sign enough?  

    Neither of us know.  You obviously expect different results this time round.  I see no reason why it will be better and I'll judge it one what happens, not what I hope happens.


  • We talk about needing 16 players in but I think a few could leave making this more. Wouldn’t be at all surprised to see any of the following move on…

    Davidson
    MacG
    DJ
    Gilbey
    Kirk

    Even Stockley has been mentioned as a possible sale.

    Realistically it is going to take Garner a couple of windows (atleast) to get the squad he most likely wants.

    I think the talk of 16 relates to the current squad size as that's what it is, not what's needed, but I stand to be corrected.

    Max Haygarth could be interesting?  Was he at Brentford when de souza was there?

    Nya Kirby is a local lad, good pedigree.

    Ben Woodburn is probably championship bound but could be worth a look.

    I think this is the crux of what us optimistic fans don’t understand. I fully understand that you will judge on what actually happens, but I don’t understand the incessant negativity through the process.

    But you are right, I do indeed expect different and better results this time. I like that changes have been made to the recruitment system and I think MS will be able to have a positive influence on TS.
    MS has had a lot of negative comments about asking questions of the training. That was not my take. I thought it a very good question. Why is our training intensity 10% down on Championship teams?

    I suspect that age and lack of pre season to have been part of the answer. We know that we are off to Spain and TS has said it was a mistake last year. That is what gives me confidence that the recruitment team will be going flat out to sign three players before they leave.

    Even if it does not work out I applaud the Club for identifying the issues and then trying to do something about it. As you suggest, we will judge what happens and how successful it has been in the fullness of time - about the beginning of December for the early signs?

    As an aside, for me a 1 year deal is an acceptance that the you do not think a player is good enough and you ran out of money or time. Probably both. Shit happens and we have had way to much of it. Hopefully we will get less and less plug fillers.

    Not by TS. Said he is pretty much going nowhere unless a ridiculous offer comes in for Stockley.

    Think DJ, Mac and Gilbey will stay personally. Prefer Morgan goes as he isn't good enough at all.

    No.  16th back training.  Go to Spain tomorrow.
    It was put back due to the heat wave
    Better stay in the shade then when they get out to Spain.

    I think SG has been hit and miss in the last couple of windows. But there have definitely been some good ones come in. I don't think it is blind faith to say his track record is decent. He has definitely pulled out a few duds as well. Hopefully with a more focused team this summer, they can identify more carefully what is needed and what will improve us as a team and not pick up so much dead wood along the way.

    I have it on good authority that a number of new players - that's players plural - have been sighted at the training ground today
