We seem to have had a lot of words during the summer yet there seems to be a void in our squad for next season…AGAIN!
No doubt the new owners have the best intentions but with a few exceptions, I’m left wondering how we intend to win games without goals. Happy to be proved wrong.
Totally unfair this post. They have done so much in so little time. Do not under estimate what they have achieved in such a short space of time. The very foundations of this club need repairing and it’s a huge task!! Bankrolling everything doesn’t guarantee anything!

Morais was binned. He hasn’t played since Bradford, won’t play again and is effectively no longer part of the squad. The only difference between him and Payne is that his contract ran until the end of this season.
I get that, personally at the time I think they should have both been terminated, from a HR perspective there was a strong case. From a football perspective I doubt anyone would have had the stones.

I agree and i don't.
We do seem to always go into every season without the striker we need, its become something that this club does which is frustrating, yes i get that every one is trying to sign a striker but we don't seem to learn that being light in that department always costs us early on.
Would be nice to be going in the season with more firepower up top especially with the injuries, i don't want to see makeshift players doing a job so they say just to make do.
The argument will be well everyone is trying to sign the same player my argument is well we need to learn from our mistakes pay a bit more if needs be as the past seasons prove we always are light up top.

Would you accept Williams, Morais or Jackson starting if we did not have others in the building?
Absolutely, as they look better than we currently have available for selection. Hopefully Hurst will be quite pragmatic about this and if it comes to playing youth team striker or utilising players that have fallen out of favour pragmatism is the way for me

Everything has to be relaxed. The only thing that matters are the results in the league games and these have not started yet. This level of football, the cup games do not matter, in fact I will not even bother going to them Therefore in my mind no need to panic, if we get six games in and we have been lousy then Hurst will deserve a kicking but until that point no problem Utm

It doesn’t guarantee success agreed but Crawley fleetwood Luton speeded up the process of leaving the dog and duck with a few bob thrown at it

If, and its a big if, most of the players in the squad were fit and ready for the start of the season i am pretty sure most people would be happy.. eg. Taylor or LJL up front supported by two wide players from Sousa, McAtee, Wright, Grant or Scannell... The trouble is we arn"t going to start like that and will not have had the pre season to gel the players together because of those injuries... Why have we had so many injuries? Poor training, weak players, players with bad history of being injured or just bad luck... Maybe its a bit of all of that... Are the owners responsible for this? No. Is the manager responsible? Maybe for some of it as he signed some of the known injury hit players... What i do know is players need support and thats down to us... What we have got will get better with our support so lets get out there and back our team, warts and all....

Well if this is what we get on here because we haven't got a number 9 two weeks before the season starts, what happens when we lose a game?
