Strengthen midfield, a player in the Steve Lomas mould would be perfect.

Right back apparently.

That's not too bad but I'm beginning to get frustrated with the lack of attacking players.

Pure Sturrock, strong defence not too profilic up front, it's beginning to be a worry though.

Yes the thought of having a solid defence and winning game after game on the way to promotion a la Plymouth a few years ago is really worrying.

Fucking hell fella's I think we need to let the manager manage.

Its about time we had a group of defenders, instead of one being injured and needing a loan all the time, We got a group that can cover each other.

Solid Keepers, solid defence, much improved midfield - all looking pretty good to me.

I was just about to post the exact same thing. For fuck sake, Sturrock knows what he is doing guys!

Aren't you in the slightest bit worried that as it stands, our strikeforce V Northampton will be Blair Sturrock?!

The backline looks excellent, but we'll need to score goals in this league! I think we may need a few more midfielders too, especially on the right hand side.

As it stands on the 10th of July, you are correct our strike force would not be good enough, but we don't play Northampton for what, another month? I am confident that in that timescale, Sturrock will have added another attacking midfield player, a couple of wingers and 2 maybe 3 more strikers.

Remember last season, we were bemoaning where the goals were going to come from to ensure promotion. Sturrock went and got Big Baz on loan and everything was rosy in the kitchen!

As much as J Smith was quality last year, he is a very steady player and competition for his spot is excellent news, after all we want 2 players for each position in a perfect world, we've now got 2 GK, 4 CB, 2 RB and 2 LB, so thats pretty much sorted. 4 CM fine as well, it's just the wings and up top. The thing is, it could just be the order in which we are signing them, come the first game, if we've got the 2 strikers and 2 wingers we need then its all rosy, if we had signed them first, wewould be moaning about a lack of cover at the back

the conclusion to this aimless ramble is that there's still a month unitl the first game, have faith

Good ramble. You could be on to something about the order. Proven strikers and wingers are more likely to be expensive to get hold of, meaning you're more likely to want to sift through trialists during the pre-season friendlies. Still early days yet.

J Smith was quality but this new chap has to be better than shakes for cover at RB surely!

Not heard much about Miguel however not ruling out Smith could be covering him.

Sturrock clearly plays football manager.

- 2 players for every position
- offering trials to random foreigners he's never heard of in the vain hope that one is worth a punt.
- Signing too many players
- collecting defensive midfielders

It all points in the direction of FM 8)

Well considering the competition for places in defence now you would hope that area is sorted and we should be reasonably solid at the back next season.

Now Sturrock can look at what he has in defence and decide what kind of players we need to take the ball off them and produce at the other end. Considering we have 4 weeks until the season starts, I'm quite happy with the way things are going

PS said: "Now we have got to start getting more offensive players in to the club. I always believe you have to build from the back and every position has got competition."

Should put a few "why so many defenders" thoughts to bed.

Have a little faith.
