This has got vibes of how Fatty Evans always managed to get out of L2 - strength and physicality. Get Boozy back to scare the shit of defenders down the flanks and hoik it in to the big men.
Basic will do for me.

It’s almost like they have learned a lesson 🤞
Quite the U-turn of our transfer strategy!

Smith & Drinan played together at Orient and formed a good partnership too.
Promotion winning partnership

If this doesn’t work out, where do we go from there?

League 2 footie in League 2. You don't have to be great to be in the mix, but you need physicality and know how.
On the right track finally.
The fact we can supplement these battle hardened pros with some youthful loans is exciting.
Bring it on.

We revert to type and go back to signing a bunch of Children, injury prone players and midgets.

Another piece in the jigsaw, and that’s before we use any loans. Another centre back, a creative midfielder and a winger or two and we’re not far off.

Some really impressive signings so far. Someone has finally sat up and listened hopefully so that is great. I have a feeling we may cash in on Glatzel still, that isn't a moan btw and if we do and continue with this level of signing then i will take it

Be interesting to see who the preferred front two are from Drinan, Glatzel & Smith (assume we play with two up front) because whilst they are all decent strikers - they are proper centre forwards rather than wide forwards.

I have a real strange feeling.
I think it's... Yes... Mild optimism
Same here... I had almost forgotten how that felt 🤔

Him and Drinan scored a brace apiece in that 4-1 thrashing I remember.

A very smart signing. Dont get bogged down in his goal record (although it’s not terrible), this is the big handful target man striker that we’ve needed for ages to bully defences, him and Drinan will work that role well and as long as we have other forwards who are more clinical (e.g Glatzel) then we will be on the money although I expect Smith will still chip in with a decent number.
For once I’m looking forward to us not being bullied around the pitch with a small, weak team. Always a tough one to watch.

Another good signing. These signings have a Lee Power feel about them. Just saying
