There ya go. Alex Bass, if he is signing. Literally nobody has mentioned his name before. Not like broadhead, Simms, Archer etc etc. Names that get banded about everyday yet probably will never sign and in some cases, never been in for.

I think if anyone is expecting a top 6 finish might need to slow down a bit. I think it will be 3 - 4 years before we get there.
I see nothing in the club management set up that says let's do fast decisions.
All seems to be carefully planned and they are here for the long haul.
Personally I will be happy to see us make decent progression and keep the recruitment plan as they have started it.
Yes they want to get us promoted but will take time and make concrete knowledgable decisions rather than a quick fix.
I have seen this set of lads trying there hardest and we have no long contracted lay abouts as we have suffered over so many years.
They will get my support and let's be honest. In my 64th year of supporting the lads I have learnt to be patient.

My feelings on this have been posted on here,

1. I'd take a no drama mid table finish,now.

2. Slight concern that we're starting a championship campaign with pretty much last seasons league one team.

Now we will sign players, no doubt. But patience is needed.

My gut feeling is mid-table but slight chance of scraping in the playoffs.

I agree. There's a lot of teams more equipped that we are. Norwich have to be the favourites as usual. Then it's a battle for 2nd and for me, Wigan could be there play off dark horse. I may sound on a downer, but there's some, not all of new season ticket holders and match day goers that will be expecting us to just piss the league. All I'm saying is, I've been going over for years and nothing surprises me anymore. I hope I'm wrong and we romp it.

Imho our squad is neither big enough not good enough atm to do really well in the Championship this season.
Why do I say that... well in particular the performance of the 'reserve' side in pre-season games.

Not to mention strikers...
