Pook hasn't signed yet, how do we know that he won't be signing for that bigger club, MK Dongs. Are you worried if he does  |

Given the incomings in central midfield, Pook is now down the pecking order. Given that, I don't think his signing, or not, will make a difference this season. Nicholas was a good Div I player, King tried to get rid of him, but interestingly Sturrock didn't, albeit with the comment that he needed to progress as a player.

Pook's got no chance of being a regular this season, i think folly is going to be signing as well so that will push pook further down, i don't like pook much and he wouldn't really be missed so i hope he goes.
Surely he should have either signed or buggered off by now?!!!

I hope Folly does sign, my dad was speaking to a southampton season ticket holder earlier and he said Folly was a good player....

There must be worries about the strike force to begin the season. Corr is great, but will miss quite a few matches. Akinfenwa has to prove fitness, will he be the same again, and when will he be available? ? Sturrock is ordinary and not likely to be a prolific scorer.
The defence and midfield I have no worries about, except that the new guys have to get used to each other. A bad start is hard to recover from, momentum is important. Our goal scoring record was not good last season, and presumably it will be harder to score, early next season ,with the similar or worse strikers that we have.
A bit of doom and gloom, or no worries? A feeling of the relegation season start came over me, it must be the weather.

Folly is a winger mainly tho isnt he?
Hope Pook does sign ..
The biggest problem is in attack ... just the injured Corr at the mo
Bayo still not confirmed
and Sturrock unsigned as far as I know
Bring Back SSP!!

Given Akinfenwa has yet to sign I agree, I think we will struggle a little up front.
Still time to find loan cover/replacement or use Roberts or Peacock if need be though.

Whats happening with Caton at the moment?
I think theres no need to panic. I think Sturrock is just biding his time closer to the start of the season in the hope that bigger players who had hoped for deals in better/higher clubs have to drop down to League 1.
I'm confident he will sign more players of a decent standard and lets not forget hes got all these foreign triallists who we will have an opportunity to see on the 29th July anyway!
We have one of if not the best Manager in this league who is proven at this level. I'm not worrying yet..........

The only position that's worrying me is upfront.
Looks unlikely that Akinfenwa is coming.
Big Bad Bazza is out for a couple of months at least.
Roberts and Peacock weren't up to it last season (I'm talking about as strikers)
Which leaves us with?
Caton.
And Sturrock Jnr.

yeah im sure its frustrating Sturrock as well ...
just hope he can pull some iron out of the fire cos we need a player to score 20 goals or so in this division ... wonder if any League 2 players fancy a step up?

You can't get a 20 goal striker just like that though....

And Catons a decent player anyway, if given a bit of a run in the team he could score a few.
