7 first team defenders who were available for selection at the back end of last season have either gone or are about to go. Yes that includes loan players.
In return we have brought in a young, untested loanee.
We are playing Max Clarke at centre half in a pre season friendly with our new right back is playing left back.
It's hardly knicker wetting to say it's a complete and utter mess, thus far.
Will it change?
To some degree it will but the preparation and planning of our first team is comical.
In Ehab we trust.
