considering the volume of players that we need to get in incl 3 centre backs , a right back, 2 strikers I would have expected more progress considering season starts in a month

I know you know this but for my own sanity I must say this, we reached the last kick off last season and the staff went on their holidays and returned to training today. We are a couple of weeks behind some and a month behind others. We will be ready.
In the past a player would be signed and play, like Tommy Hutchison, like Robbie Keane, like a player joining in January. It’s not beyond the realms of possibility that we will sign decent fit players who have kicked a ball before.

And yet Sisu were shit and only here for the money!

While they still found the funds for Vik and Hamer, even though the club was allegedly loosing around a million pounds a month. (And I'm no supporter of Sisu, but I'm yet to see much of an improvement since they left other than a bit of grass)

Doug needs to find the resources to put a squad together and fast. He's had his honeymoon period and the training ground improvements are welcome (if underwhelming). The fans have backed the club, as shown in record season ticket sales, now it's time to step up and deliver what MR requires.

We certainly weren’t losing one million a month. Sisu didn’t put any investment in the club since the Sixfields move. Since then it’s been high interest loans and player sales that funded the club

Robbie Keane came after the season had started and Huckerby was moved on but a pre-season will be less effective if lots of key players are joining after it has finished

Who was the last Robins signing to start his first possible game after signing mid season?

How are we measuring “bigger”? Club success and trajectory we’re by no means at all bigger than them.

Trajectory:

the path followed by a projectile flying or an object moving under the action of given forces.
"the missile's trajectory was preset"

a curve or surface cutting a family of curves or surfaces at a constant angle

Judging by our rise from L2, I would argue that our current trajectory exceeds that of Millwall?

Think we've picked up more trophies than them in the last few years, although I accept that they have a bigger 'firm' than us ;)

Edit: I accept Millwall are a very well run club and have maintained a steady top half position in the Championship for the last 4 seasons.

Including loans ? JWE and BNC last season. I'll hold off on Magurie as he was only on the pitch for 30 mins from when we signed him, wasn't he ?

Some players hit the ground running like COH and others such as BNC take time to get going, don't think Tyler Walker ever got going. The problem when you are replacing so many players that are expected to start you need them all to be hitting the ground running.

Again, can’t agree that Millwall is a backward step.

But you can always rely on Millwall to have a few projectiles heading in your direction?

He’d be a very good signing, lcb who seems like he fits us perfectly, was rumoured to be in talks by Yorkshire Neal

Easy? And it’s not just 1. We need 3 cb’s. Man City we won’t get much from this year thanks to Leicester.

Yeah I know, I reckon we’ll get that humphreys in from Chelsea maybe, maybe this Kitching too

we continually sign really good players on loan, why would it be particularly hard to this year

Humphrey’s is one that could be a goer. same agent as loans we’ve had in the past so a possibility.
