It’s not just us
The Championship clubs who have made the fewest first-team signings so far this summer:
Huddersfield Town (0)
Leeds United (0)
West Bromwich Albion (0)
Sheffield Wednesday (1)
The Championship kicks off 2 weeks after L1 and L2 so they are 2 weeks behind where we are. |

From the station at Colchester
To the cells of Warrington
From the services at Leicester
To the slums of Northampton
We travel over England
And one day Europe too
Cos we all follow the Swindon
We're the famous Town End crew.

All the EFL starts the 5th Aug. Premier League is a week later. |

So on the subject of today's potential signing (potential given what Flynn said last weekend and didn't happen). Anyone want to guess on position, or if they will be underwhelming, meeting expectation, of blow your socks off?
I reckon a defender that meets expectations.

It’ll be a young, big midfield that will be a complete gamble and our fans will lose their shit

if that's the only type of signing we make, rightly so

I'm going with an unexpectedly good signing.

…or better yet it will be Lewis Ward. Whose almost been here longer with no contract than he was when he was actually under contract.

Some will think it’s ok, others will claim it shows we are skint & lack ambition.
Just can’t imagine it’s going to blow anyone’s socks off
Actually, most likely is it won’t actually happen:)

I reckon a defender that meets expectations.
Flynn said something in the presser which suggested it could be someone at least half-decent - "Today's will give them a lift" - I'm assuming 'they' is us? Michael Flynn on Ward:
He knows where he stands and it is not a priority. Keep patient, I know things are frustrating and hopefully today's will give them a lift. |

Appears Rob Angus fed us absolute waffle regarding the 'competitive' playing squad and budget for this summer. The feel good feeling under Clem has truly evaporated now.
