We signed
Sammy Igoe,
Andy Nicholas,
Grant Smith,
Jon Stevenson,
Adi Viveash.
1 week later we signed Tommy Mooney.
Then Brian Howard and Rhys Evans the week after that. All free transfers.
Even on June 29th, 2003, we still had a stronger squad than what we have now.
Looking back we should have finnished in the top 2 with that team. But that is the sort of summer you have to have to get in the play offs and its just not happening.

Take your finger off the panic button Spencer, for at least two more weeks anyway!

But surely this shows that the fact we hadn't signed anybody else by yesterday was not a sign that we wouldn't make the play-offs, as some are making out! There's still plenty of time, and it should also be noted that much worse teams have made the play-offs than that Swindon squad |

Mild concern at this stage for me. There is a month to go though before mad panic sets in.

I think we have another 2 weeks to snap up some decent free transfers.
After that we will have to start buying players for £50k or more.
Problem is, we need too many players.

Interesting and the sort of thing that Huddersfield are doing, but we couldn't fund that level of investment back then and the current owners have stated often enough, they'll not do anything like that.

I saw today in the paper or maybe on the BBC gossip column that they are after Jason Price, another striker.
And yesterday I saw they were after Rickie Lambert.
I can only assume that they are planning on starting the season with a Subuteo-style-formation of 6 up front.

Yeah well, they said they wouldnt sack Malpas either, on the basis of his amazing interview. He lasted 8 months (2 of which were pre season). |

If Price is that afro fella then he's more a midfielder. A very good one at that. |

We've pretty much got the defensive side sorted, it's a case of the attacking options. With Cox gone we really need about 5 or 6 players, but I expect a couple can be loan signings, so we probably need 4 permanent signings.
Let's be honest, if we signed players of the Viveash, G. Smith or Stephenson variety I and others would be sounding their disappointment at such apparent panic buys.
