    But is that because you don't know how well they perform or because you know they're ****e?

    100%, we have talented throughout our squad n I'm really excited by the players we've got at our club

    Hopefully a positive result then a neil contract extension during the international break

    The former. That's why I said it's a gamble.

    If I knew they were ****e I'd say so.

    There is no-one on this forum who knows these signings will do the business, all we can do is hope but the gut feel is that we have been left short again.

    Agreed. It's just frustrating

    It is. But I’m optimistic.

    Having slept on it and woken up to the announcements I can happily say I have no idea who the new signings are, how good they are or can be but they are here and they get my full support.

    Could be some strong line ups in the u21 teams this season

    I get it mate, honestly do - i was the same last night

    I just really like the balance of the squad at the minute, theres real talent there and i think we have signed players that actually fit a playing style for a change

    I get what you're saying but that gut feel is most likely to do with the fact that we've been ****ed over in the past.

    We've ****ed up that many times i'm glad we're not going down the same route as we have previously with panic big money signings. The way the recruitment has been is working as we're strengthening the squad every season. If we keep going we will end up unearthing that hidden gem

    That last bit is key. RLB has clearly had input as to who comes in and who leaves - players who can't play his system have been pushed out the door. It's exciting certainly to have a HC who knows exactly what he wants from his players (and to have the players capable of doing so).

    Makes me very excited to be a place where talent goes to prove itself mind, not where limited talent goes to stay on the merry-go-round.

    Time will tell. Isidor,Mundle and Abdullahi might do the business. Wildcards as you say, but we could have said the same about Kevin Phillips. I am getting confident in RLB's abilities to get the best from these players. Difficult match today,but then a couple of weeks on the training ground and,hoping our players come back from these ****ing poxy internationals fit and well,the match at Plymouth will be interesting.
