I do have you smile when I read people still saying "let's wait until the end of the transfer window....."

Yes, I don’t think we are a million miles away, like you say it’s about the right signings added to what we have. BG will work on the problems of Saturday you would hope. Everyone will drop points they don’t expect to, so Saturday was a point gained.Callumcafc said:Let’s see how we do between now and the end of the month, both in terms of results and transfers.
Not willing to rule out a promotion charge just yet. If we looked totally hopeless for 90 minutes on Saturday, that’d be a harder sell. But there was plenty to be encouraged by. Especially in the first half. And Payne & Leaburn’s cameos.The right additions on top of what we have could be the key. 👍
cheers for the LOL👍4 -

Because all the decent players have obviously been signed alreadyGarrymanilow said:

Not to mention the Premier League sides who have yet to make a decision on loaning out their kids, as they're undecided at the moment whether they should be included in their own League campaigns.
But then if they're right / we're wrong... Or we're right / they're wrong...
Its because we're all geniuses rather than lucky with predictions

You cannot judge a transfer window until it ends.
We do need to sign a few more, but the negativity is so boring.38 -

I'd also argue we have hit the ground running in terms of the Transfer Market and ahead of the season.
Looking at the team, the back five are done and dusted, its frustrating Egbo is injured but cant be helped, and ideally we need another Left-Back... But we do have Sessegnon, and just have to hope, and expect him not to get injured between now and September, unless of course the plan is for Clayden to be his backup.
Midfield | Striker | Wingers... We probably had our first choice against Accrington, with DJ / Kirk the only debatable position, which I imagine will be decided once Rak-Sakyi or someone else joins - I'm confident we wont get another Striker to replace Stockley, partly because he's just been named captain, and no proven Striker will join at this stage, knowing that they wont be first choice, the moment they walk through the door... Hence why its probably another U21 striker we're waiting for a Premier League side to make a decision on.
The question is now... Is the squad we have, good enough to mount a challenge on the top six, or at least make a continued upwards improvement on 13th last season, because we sure as hell dont want to go backwards.
No doubt people will claim that it cant happen, but this is a Division where sides can be promotion challengers one year, and then go back to being a classic mid-table side the next - Final chance for many to prove last season, was nothing more than a blip.1 -

They're worried if they don't tie him down before he comes and plays for us, his head will be turned by the (slightly more) normal looking fans in the stands, and the fact he's not having to play in a Sainsbury's car park every other week. Plus we're still the only club in SE London to win the FA Cup, and are therefore still the only relevant team in SE LondonRedRobin said:21 -
If they’re Cullen, Bielik, Gallagher quality then top 6 guaranteed.cabbles said:
Similar to last season if it pans out that way. Regardless of how well you think the new additions will be, if we end up going down that route, I don’t see how you could argue any differently in terms of a changed/revised transfer strategy. Of course, let’s see who those loans are, but for me it would say we haven’t really evolvedJamesSeed said:It’ll be two or three last-day-of-the-window loans.

Almost all the players we have had in the last 2 years, to me come under the definition of;
"You won't get promoted if x is your y, but x being your y doesn't mean you can't get promoted".
I think if you look at Bowyer's squad, and to a lesser extent Powell's, Curbs play off team as well, you probably had 10ish players like that. If not more.
They all had "not good enough for a promotion team" players as well.
What we really lack is players that "if you have him in the side you have a chance".
We need 5 of them. Until we get them we are going no where.
I said at the end of the 20/21 season we need to replace out 5 worst with 5 "best" players. I don't think we have 5 "worst" any more, but I don't think we have 5 "best" either.

We didn't know who our best 5 were after the first game in 11/12 or 18/19, the question is more do we potentially have those players. We probably don't but we know we're after two or three more signings.Cafc43v3r said:Almost all the players we have had in the last 2 years, to me come under the definition of;

I sat an exam once having done no preparation for it. I took my golf clubs in the boot of my car knowing I had no chance, left early and played a round. I failed.blackpool72 said:

Learning from our mistakes my bollox.
Sat it again the following year having studied really hard and prepared thoroughly, but screwed up on the day and failed again.
I believe I did learn from my mistakes the first time round despite getting the same end result.
Let me ask you this Would you argue that I didn't?2 -
Yep, easy to forget the likes of Aribo and Bielik improved as the season went on.ross1 said:

So, you are saying our back 4 is sorted except we don't have 2 fit and proper full backs.

When does the window slam shut this year ?0

It's not scientific, but I don't look at our squad and think "wow that's a cracking signing" or "how did you get him to join/stay at a L1 club". Decent players yes, but none that really stand out. Especially when we are starting from a lower base than Bowyer did in the summer of 2018.Cafc43v3r said:Almost all the players we have had in the last 2 years, to me come under the definition of;

I suspect that most outsiders feel that way too, judging that the pundits and bookies all seem to be tipping us for mid table mediocrity at the moment.
