Coz we'd have lost out to other clubs otherwise.
I never said a word!Which disproves the theory of not wanting to pay players until the last minute the one about players going to other clubs over us and the one about us getting players nobody else wants
(I know you didn't say them, before you think that!!)
On the defence side Mowbray has partially created the problem himself. I'm sure Martin would have re signed for the club.
I feel letting Martin go was a big mistake.
Well, you need to look at that list of outgoing players and see who we will really miss. (You missed Fleck off by the way.)
Johnson? We didn't even have him for 80% of the season and you could just about ditto that for Conor Thomas too.
Will we miss Lorentzson? No. Ramage, Hunt, Henderson? Definitely not.
Cole? Again I would say no. He flattered to deceive for the most part. Philips was frozen out for long periods anyway and Maddison missed most of the season.
Looking at the squad as it stands now, I would say we are only missing Aaron Martin and Adam Armstrong. Murphy was very inconsistent and we didn't really have Stephens for that long anyway.
I am not too unduly worried and there will still be loans to come.
I think it was so you could bring his name up every time there's a discussionMcCann can't sign due to his parent club.
Why did we get Jones right at the very start?
Agree with all this except Murphy. We will miss a winger who scores in the double digits
Wingers by nature, are usually inconsistent.We need a winger but a consistent one.
Current team would be:
RCC
Willis Ricketts Stokes Haynes
Gadzhev McCann Vincelot
Jones
Tudgay Sordell

So good you named it twice.That is like saying players from Europe are no good in winter.
Are you saying Tommy Hutchison, Ray Graydon, Dave Bennett, Dennis Teaurt, Ryan Giggs, John Robertson, Jimmy Johnstone and I could go on and on were more inconsistent than their team mates....bollocks
See I think Harries will start at CB.Stokes and McCann suspended
RCC
K-Evans Willis Ricketts Haynes
Gadzhev Vincelot Rose
Jones Lameris
Sordell
Tudgay, Burge, K Thomas and kids on the bench
No McCann?Charles-Cook
Ricketts Willis New CB Haynes
Vincelot Rose
Jones Gadzhev/New CAM Lameiras
Sordell
tudgay is the new martin! i can see it nowSurprised tudguy not in some peoples first xi? Have we not learnt that cost us last season? Besides he's done more pre season than sordell to date too?
I do not think that start xi is too bad. Helluva lot of doom mongers here! Best thing to do look at swindons squad as it stands to remain consistent look at their current strongest start xi and compare to ours currently... Imo we look better as things stand!
He's not signed yet OtisNo McCann?
Talking first game. McCann and Stokes in for Rose and Haynes when all availableNo McCann?
To answer my own question in the OP, Now, now I'm concerned. First we had a load of targets, then we had a few targets but lost a few, now there's a couple of irons in the fire and we may have to offload players from already depleted squad to get in others,
I can honestly see us missing out on a good few were after, not replacing anywhere near enough bodies, even if they were bit part players. If we got burnt out by Christmas last year how on earth are we going to cope with a much smaller squad ?
So the talk will be "we've still got a month to sign players when the season starts", then "but the loan window is open soon", then "we'll do some business in January" and we'll have another disappointing season at the lower end of league one.
I'm actually really quite pissed off
Did you actually read what Mowbray said or just go with the alarmist CT conclusions? What he actually said is there's two players in training now who are likely to be singing shortly and he's looking to bring another five or six in but might, if those players are expensive, have to let one or two go.
