I have to say I'm equally unimpressed with our transfer activity, especially when compared with our potential promotion rivals. We have done nothing to remedy the glaring deficiency in our CMF, namely the lack of a fast creative play-maker willing to run at defenses and open up space for our strikers, we are still reliant on a GK whose disastrous errors cost us the valuable points that would have kept us up in closer to a mid-table position, we have signed a sick note at FB whose performances for Newcastle were dire whenever I watched them last season and who compares poorly with Rosenior, we have an unproven youth on loan in MF, another relative unknown from League One, and we have failed to bring in a striker to replace the three departing players, although the Brentford lad looks like he could be the real deal but we seem reluctant to use the potential Hernandez, N'Doye money to finalize the transaction.

With the season one week away what have we got. Brady, Ince, Chester, McShane are gone. Two strikers are on their way out. How much longer will Jelavic knee hold up. How much longer will we be able to hang onto Robertson and Elmo, or even Dawson? Our strike force is threadbare. Our GK is a fumble waiting to happen. Our CMF is the same as last year i.e creativity non-existent. Is our offensive Plan A going to be more of last year.?...i.e slow mid-field build ups, swing long balls out to the wing, lump it into the area, and hope for the best!! Bruce seems to be devoid of a Plan B or any
other tactics. It could be another long and frustrating season.

Am I alone in quite liking the players we have signed and hopefully are signing?
 
It's difficult to comment on signings until the league is 6-7 games in.
I was happy with the signing of Hernandez and what a monumental mistake that has turned out to be.
