There are informed gambles and then there are wildcards.

I could gamble £20 that Cannon, Broadhead, Hirst, Mendy or Moore would get us 15-20 goals this season and I think my money would be safe,
I could gamble £100 that Clarke would get us 25+ goal contributions again. Again, my money would be safe

I wouldn't feel as confident putting that money on Isidor, Mundle & Abdullahi.

100% behind the team and the coach but I feel like the powers that be have left us short again
But is that because you don't know how well they perform or because you know they're ****e?

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.

Overall a very good window in my opinion. Obliviously frustrating about the striker yesterday but that doesn’t take away from how we have improved the whole side.
For me, Clapham and Browne are the exciting ones, they really strengthen the spine of the team and bring lots of experience, which we cried out for last year.
Clapham? Have I missed a signing?

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

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
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).

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.
