Is the squad stronger than last season?

The thing is we have a lot of young players who are likely to get better anyway with time so it could be their youthfulness will allow them to step up to a higher league if they are good enough. Hopefully our young players will. Suppose its a bit of a gamble but being RUFC this is the best hand we have. If all the young uns were to step up comfortably we could have a very good season. If they don't...

Starting the season with an away game against a decent team, and we've still go a depleted squad. I hope that we get away with it, but it's not ideal. Going to the match anyway though

Why are we a depleted squad ?, we have bids in for cm and would like 1 more striker as far as im aware. Thats not a depleted squad its a nearly complete squad. People need to calm down about the lb situation, Mattock is first choice and Hinds second choice so Purrington has gone out on loan. Its no big deal!!!. We get a couple in this week and all is good, if we dont we can do buisness up to the end of August

I take the point that the current squad is not our "final" squad (we hope!). After seeing Mansfield friendly game, more worried about midfield than left back. At least we've got two specialist left backs on the books, and Mattock scored a spectacular goal at Brentford a few seasons ago - let's hope for a repeat from him on Saturday
