Making allowances for the dyed in the wool club apologists, who will rabidly defend the club’s actions no matter what and would happily watch paint dry so long as it was black and white (you know who you are) I get the feeling the majority of the club’s fan base is not particularly impressed with the summer’s events.

We have flogged our main asset and failed to replace him. Crowds will come expecting a promotion push and, at present, our squad does not appear good enough. If we’re not right up there from the beginning, the atmosphere will turn toxic and Maynard will be out the door.

There is enough time to boost the squad but I have precious little confidence in the recruitment team to achieve the right outcome. I give it until October before the crowd turns. Mid-table mediocrity awaits.
Go on then I will be one of the apologists. There is a flip side to the argument we are not up to full numbers yet. The club could easily be up to them by now but there will be a constant wave a players come available once other clubs bring in players.

So that’s the conundrum do you wait till way into August and hope you may bring in a couple of very good signings with the minus being you might not get them and still end up with squad fillers? TBF It shouldn’t effect Augusts results missing a couple and it’s also not hard integrating a couple in later.
