Starting line up ideally with current squad:
RCC
Willis Ricketts Stokes
Rose Ghadzev Reid McCann
Jones Tudgay Sordell
Why would we have had to double his wages? He was under contract. And he couldn't talk to anyone unless we let him.He was rubbish in the second half of the season and we'd have had to double his wages - no thanks.

Surpringly this time last year we hadn't signed much more

I don't think that was the error. Defensive injuries, players losing form, arguably Kent going back to Liverpool and some dodgy players joining did it for us in the end.But that was year 1 of a 2 year plan. This is supposed to be year 2. Surely we've learnt from our errors last season, and not signing players quickly enough was an error, right? Or atleast not 'enough' players

Stokes is suspended for first game isn't he?

Players can't refuse to play. But they can play as though they don't give a shit. But no club can talk to them or offer them anything without permission.Because that's the way it works. Players leave if they want to and the owning club never retain them.
Disagree, our young guns got us off to a flyer last season and pretty much the best start possible. A chance they may not have been given if we had padded out the squad with more players.They did play a part, but I think not having a 'squad' ready for the season ahead was part of the reason why we had to sign the players we did in the end, which proved to be desperation signings in the end.
I'm all for avoiding a repeat of that, but at this rate, are we not coming close to repeating it? We must have more kids within the squad this season than last, and kids getting burned out before the season end was one of the main, if not the main factor in our downfall imo

Yea I just posted my reasons as to why I believe it went pear shaped near the end in post #150. Don't think it was down to the squad not being ready at the beginning.No disputing the start, but what about the end? Did we have enough players competing for places? I know I seen some complacent performances as the season went on, and we had no pla B nor any decent replacement players
Well hopefully TM learnt from last season with the few panick buys we had Ramage, Henderson, Hunt...obviously they didn't work out so although our defence was pretty shit at times and despite it being weakened a little more (or maybe strengthened with the return of Willis) at this present time he looks to have brought a few more attacking options in so fingers crossed and woo hoo the season is almost upon us
We have to remember 'those' knee jerk signings in January did more damage than good imo.
Our season completely fell apart after Christmas. Now there is a multitude of reasons. Younger players burning out, defence fell apart once Reda went, Turner got injured and then useless Ramage comes in. Henderson was a donkey, was there too much of a spotlight on Cole? Maddison sale?
The team didn't have enough players with a winning mentality. Too much hope on the 'oil' Fleck and hard man Vincelot? They vanished after Christmas.
So, maybe this so called 2 year plan by Mogga has to be ditched, because it failed last season? So, start again?
The signings so far this summer have been good quality individually but we haven't got enough through the door yet.
Jones is very bright prospect that will excite fans.
Sordell potentially could rediscover his form from back in his Watford days. He scored 8-9 goals in a rubbish team last season before injury.
Kyel Reid is a top L1 player. Pace and power.
Ghadzev is potentially a championship player and a Bulgarian international. Should boss this league. Passing, shooting and set piece expert.
McCann won promotion last year with Wigan. He's knows what it takes. Unfortunately for 5 months.
Of all the players released, Martin potentially should have been kept as a squad player. Vincelot only gave us half a season and vanished. He's not getting any younger and his cash has helped to sign Reid.
Let's just hope Mogga can get a few more key players in especially defence and a top goalscorer like Armstrong again.
I don't think it's all that bad but just frustratingly slow.
To be honest I was hoping our plan would have changed to signing the likes of Jones, Hussey's Stokes'
And the equivalents from division 4
Plus our home grown
Then add some premiership loans
