Happy with Kinsella, a solid addition. Just hope we can get a couple CB’s over the line soon.

Given our stated aim to 'try' in all of the cup competitions, including the Pizza Cup, how are we going to rotate the squad in this hectic first month...? We are bare bones...

If you watch the interview with Hatswell on OSC he said ideally with the FA Cup you want to get to the 2nd round, draw a big team, get some money and go out so you can concentrate on the league. He spoke about the Newport cup runs hindered their attempts for promotion. My take is don’t expect us to all in on cup runs this season. This management team are known for the cup runs and I’m more than confident they’ll at least take them more seriously than SL at Walsall. Loathed Stranger Dan Hunt is still scared by attending that game |

Worry about that if we have to but can't see us rotating in the first month anyway so imagine we will play a strong team but include the youngsters who won't be involved in as many league games Jack Copland Harvey Fox Abu Kanu Josh Keyes Jaxon Brown |

I think he meant 'get through' the 2nd round and draw a big team in the 3rd round. But your point stands. |

We have 7 games in August. If we don't rotate then our first XI will be picking up injuries. |

I'm not sure of the rules of the league cup 2nd round. But I think the Premier league teams not in Europe come into play and I *think* that might include Spurs and Chelsea. If we somehow squeeze past Peterborough, there is potential gold in the next round. A home tie against either of those clubs would have a good chance of being televised, big crowd etc. I don't think the prize fund in the league cup is particularly good, but it would still bring in a pretty penny. |

I was hoping for a 540° rotation, maybe chuck in a backside fakey* *It's like a False 9 but plays in defence |

9 being left is interesting.
Especially when you consider we gave Young #7...

Young asked for 7 apparently. Charlie wanted his old 32 shirt for nostalgic reasons. RHM obviously feels more of an 11 than a 9 as he nabbed that when Charle have it up. I'm not sure we'll sign anyone else to play upfront. Numbers aren't significant any more in terms of position. Players wear 6 in midfield, 4 at centre back, 3 on the right wing. Leaves me beffled |
