It depends on how you look at it. We signed 10 senior players last season and players like Philogene or Morton weren’t in the building until the last day of the transfer window, so they didn’t have a preseason.
Our first line-up after the close of the transfer window was:
Ingram
Vinagre – Loaned in July.
Greaves
Jones
Coyle
Seri
Slater
Twine – Loaned 17th August.
Traoré
Delap – Loaned in July.
Connolly
Tufan is missing, Philogene is missing, and Morton is missing. They were some of our most important players that season.
My point is that just over a month after the transfer window closed you were jumping on Rosenior saying a manager of any talent would already be getting more of the squad, but like you’re saying about Walter, Rosenior probably hadn’t had enough time with our newest and best players and he was, like Walter is now, still trying to work out how players like Philogene could get up to speed and fit into the team. Never mind having to do it all again in January. If someone feels they have seen enough of Walter, how is that any different to how you felt about Rosenior?
