Honestly, I'm completely baffled by any sort of positivity towards our current situation. And even more so by negativity to those who are just highlighting the blatantly obvious. Our squad is threadbare to say the least. If we do get more players in then they are going to take time to settle. This time should have been during pre season, so for me we can basically write off the first 4 or 5 games.
The thread about a 23 man squad really wound me up last week. A squad made up of kids who will never be any good based on the law of averages. 1 Striker, a few left over rejects from last season.
I appreciate that we need fewer of more quality rather than loads of rubbish, but this current situation is laughable. I reluctantly agree with the opening post. Oh and this isn't a reaction to any friendly games as they mean absolutely nothing.

I don't recall feeling so nonplus about a season.
The lack of signings of note that will be of long term benefit to the club haven't happened.
As for TS getting his money out I have always thought as being ungrateful for what he's done for the club but now because he has continually stated in the press that he wants us to push on can't happen unless he spends his or the clubs money.
However it must be done so that we don't get into financial difficulties! I'm not sure if anyone on MM has seen the books for our club therefore I don't know if we have money to spend
Kempo, Zil ect... you've got to be the man, you adore the attention. Have you been this season. How can you talk. I've been. I've already put a thread up but you in your ignorance have to start another one saying the same thing. Millertop is right to many threads saying the same thing.
Say it again we need 6 players in ready to play. Not who haven't played in months. Grant Ward is one. Forde wasn't impressed sat'. A 1st choice Right back. A left back who can cover for Mattock but good enough if he gets his chance to grab the shirt. A centre back with abit of pace, not Liam Moore who hasn't played for over 6 months. 2 Forwards who've done done pre-season with there present clubs. Not La Fondre or Agard. Could do with some height & presence up front. Not has-been's or journeymen.
We have got some good players. Foster-Caskey & Vaulks two good additions. Camp, Broadfoot, a fit Mattock & Frecks. They'll start against Wolves if fit. Then see who we bring in.
Yes we need players, yes the season starts in less than 2 weeks. We don't get relegated at that point.
Ways to go yet.
AS taking his time, players coming in. What's to worry about? Frustrating yes, end of the world, no
Fully agree with TMmiller....It's ridiculous to be optimistic...on what evidence?
It's terrible preparation for an upcoming season which is less than 2 weeks away.
We have a team that is way below Championship standards and it's clear that we are not prepared to pay the going rate for the required standard.
Writing UTM..inTS we trust...Kempo and his other names is not really an argument for positivity.
It's important to get off to a good start this season or we will already be in a struggle after the first few games.
All the evidence is suggesting that we are in big trouble and struggling to get a squad together....We should have had a squad assembled several weeks ago so we could have been well forward in preparations at this stage....anyone who thinks different is frankly on the stupid side.
Still no striker of any note in the squad and the Wolves game nearly here...We are in big trouble and will soon be desperate.
Maybe we are awaiting the car boot money or free KP nut samples!
Blind faith and derogatory comments is not a reasonable argument.
The transfer window closes at the end of August.
