Assuming the 8 to 10 incomings don't all arrive on the last day of August, then the team and the bench will get progressively stronger as we move through each August game.

Unless you had the previous expectation that we were going up as Champions, then having a weakened squad for the first four games will only be one of many factors that will dictate how we finish the season.

Plus, I don't expect us to lose all four August games - (admittedly I don't expect us to win all 4 either).

The issue with this is Walters style, not that i dislike it, quite the opposite! However, if you've lost the first couple of games with no squad and then get players in at the end, then lose the next few while players gel and learn the system (which looks ****ing bonkers) you're suddenly 10 games in with 10 points and everyone starts getting a little twitchy.

We've got a rod of a load of dross, which I'm over the moon about- but we really risk having the same issues next year unless we get some good, permanent bodies in.
 
Last season we lost our first game, away at Norwich. Our squad that day was crap because half of our transfer business hadn't been done yet. Harry Vaughan was the best winger at the club, and both Vinagre and Connolly had to feature whilst totally short of fitness because there was no one else. Winning that one game instead of losing it would've put us in the playoffs.

I'm amazed anyone is OK with writing off the first four games this time.

Because likely, the expectation is much lower... whoo knows, that might change by the end of August...

Exactly - too much bed wetting - let them get on with it

Why should the expectation be much lower? He sacked liam for finishing 7th apparently... So that boosts our expectations to 6th or above... Atleast it should. More thoughts that Acun has nefarious ideas

If players and/or their agents read any of the stuff posted on here since 5pm yesterday we'll never sign a player again. Toxic doesn't describe it adequately!

That's right blame paying fans... Always the case never the fault of the rich...
