Who knows - so much depending on what delays the Bogle/Williams situations caused in signings - did they want to sign Moult but felt they couldn't risk it till now? With 2 strikers now added they must surely feel that Bogle will be resolved soon, as he's got no role here even as a backup. (Next step, don't give him a squad number?) On the formation, LB said to McGarry on Wednesday that he as playing a 4-3-3, though I agree it looks like 4-2-3-1 most of the time, Sanders and Thomas in front of the back 4.

Wartman, how do you feel about the squad now - clearly we need a cover CH and perhaps a spare FB still (unless Williams stays), perhaps those are the other 2 of the 4 LB said he wanted? You wanted 8 new bodies, but that looks like the most we might go for now. (Rankine no longer as Tezgel can play wide?)

At least these signings mean some of the younger players should be able to get in a National League loan, if not needed for the bench - e.g. Hodkin.

The recent business has been encouraging but I think we are still 3 or 4 short especially as hopefully Williams and Bogle will leave just shows you I have always thought Williams was average at best and by the looks of things so does the football world non league at best I’m afraid. I think we are weak in goals as Booth is not good enough and the back up does not look much better, we definitely need a CB and a FB agreed we need another wide attacker so Rankine should still be considered the strikers look good for the level so I think if we can get a supply to the forward players we should not have a problem with goals now the but Lankester has not played at all in the pre season so you have to think he may not be up to speed until October at the earliest creativity in midfield is worrying I don’t rate Holicek I’m afraid far to lightweight and does not look good enough IMO, Tabiner injured again no surprise there so wher is the creativity in midfield we look lacking in pace and ability to see that pass that opens up defences, so I would say a creative midfielder might also be required that’s where I get to my 4 players still needed then all f the kids can go out on season long loans I don’t want to see them anywhere near the first team this season they are not ready.
