I've been really positive this preseason. It seemed to have been one of building for an immediate return to the Championship and I still believe we can but this week that optimism can be lost.

A huge amount for this season depends on what happens this week!

Losing Vassell will show that the ethos that Warne has is for letting players go if they don't want to be here is central to his beliefs.

If this promising young keeper arrives then we'll be happy as long as he's more like Rodak than Roos when he was with us.

The central midfielder, the wide player, the full back and the undisclosed utility player coming in will be competing for first team places. It is adding to the feeling of being in a great position to start a season.

But if we lose any other key players that we know have preformed well for us we could be looking at a policy of longer term rebuild and by that I mean that we have to think of next season for the charge to the Championship.
