Ah, one of his little ‘trips’
Indeed, just checked he signed a year after leaving us with Helmond Sport (Dutch League for those that aren't aware). I guess it'd be like schmokin' a pancake for BO-O... |

Mullin was probably the only player from last seasons squad I’d have kept if a full clear out was an available option.
Norris, far far from a great player but we haven’t even replaced his goals.
Easily the weakest Town squad in my life time. Don’t think that will change come the start of the season.
We will never progress under Lee Power.

I suppose even getting promoted back to L1 isn’t exactly progression

It’s progression from being a mid table L2 club, who have been on the decline for the last 3 seasons. Hell, even stopping that decline and finishing better than last season would be small progress. Not going to happen though. |

The nature of the WBA game being 2 x 60 hours with the first team only playing one shows how light we are. 3 weeks to go.

Something consistent over the last 3 seasons, is the impact of injuries.... this is a particular problem when operating on a wing and a prayer. This season we've got them in pre season, so already look exposed. Power may think with only 2 down, we'll be able "to limp over the line" as he mistakenly hoped the season before last. |

on that basis we haven't had progression for a couple of decades from anyone.
definitely in decline since he took over, not arguing that

Jesus I struggle to make getting through 90 minutes but 120 hours of watching us sounds like hell on earth! |

Well it appears that PB ACTUALLY does know what hes talking about despite a couple of our fans thinking we won't sign any new players before the season starts.
2 centre backs, a midfielder and a striker top of PB's shopping list with 2 of those at leats being perm signings according to PB himself.
Now get those players in sooner rather than later so that they can bond with the squad for longer.
I'm not sure that anyone has said we wouldn't sign any new players.... especially when there are 3 loan slots available. It's more that there was an assumption that as Norris and Mullin were good enough for Div 4, their slightly surprising exits meant we had some sort of credible replacement lined up... instead we got a kid from Fulham on loan, a sort of this season's Harry Smith. Stick Richards' absence on top of this and rather than looking OK up top, we look very under powered. |
