Well it looks like the Hungarian winger Schon is in having a medical so that will be one duck knocked off if it goes ok. I agree on the Sheehan, Morley, Dempsey thing for midfield rioch, we do need a bit more steel in there but what on earth has happened to Morley, he looks a shadow of the player he was? I think Demps has struggled with his injuries so I’m not going to be too hard on him and maybe Josh just needs to learn how to avoid getting junked so often, other players don’t get caught out like that all the time. I watched the full match replay of the Stoke game but what a bore we were awful and if that’s a new system on last year, the only difference I saw was Toal dwelling on the ball rather than Rico. In fact he’s another one who seems to have gone backwards big style and of the two I think I’d rather have Forrester in that RCB position when he’s fit. We don’t know how Forino’s going to be as we haven’t seen him yet but he may be another good option there. Either way I think Jones is going to struggle to get his place back when he’s fit? So let’s hope the Hungarian signing gets done and the others too shortly if they are going to happen.

All very well, but do we yet know who is to take charge of the "physicals" or do we expect to rely on all-out improved attack ? Referee apart, we all know why we lost at Wembley, but what are the signs of Evatt curing that
deficiency in the next few days?

In my opinion Ken, none and I’ll still say that sticking with Evatt is sticking with the same = also-rans

If our signings so far are anything to go by the deal might be off if he passes his medical. Ha, joking. It's a good bit of news. On the Josh Sheehan I'd be completely honest and say he's being an idiot. Jumping straight back up after a clumsy tackle is very admirable but for every clattering that goes unpunished is letting the side down because it gives them a reason to go and clatter him again or a teammate. How many yellows for Josh and GT last season? How many times are worse fouls on Sheehan? Get their league one carthorses in the book as soon as possible because in most cases its their only attribute and if you take that from thier game they are nothing. And if they do it again well play most games against 10 men and life will be that much easier. Until refs are smart enough not to fall for antics or willing to book players regardless of getting up then play the game.

So, after this Schon kid signs (he said tentatively) we are seemingly only after ‘one’ more according to the BN!!!!!!! That ‘one’ being either Dembele, McAtee, Armstrong? Has it occurred to anyone that if Dion doesn’t complete a season (highly likely as he’s injury prone) and we don’t have the ‘prolific’ JDB or Jerome, are we, yet again, banking on Adeboynoshow and Nlundulu to be our saviours? I’m not so sure that Arfield will be the one to top up the shortfall (strange signining seeing as we already had 2 aged veterans in JDB and CJ) Charles Collins Arfield Adeboyejo Nlundulu to get us past last seasons 86 goals? Possible maybe, let’s see Evatt last season before he rejoins Barrow and he’s got 6 games for me

Saw Devante Cole got a West Brom move, which I think is a bit above him.
I don't rate Nlundulu at all and for me he would be sent to L2 at least until Jan.
Vic potentially may benefit from our tweak in system and if we're getting balls in the box might have his best season.
Linked to the Southampton guy on loan, was at Reading and decent ratio but had a bad injury. We're taking our chances with these injured players given our training ground resembles most NHS hospitals with people in corridors waiting for beds.

Now that Schon Signs, let’s hope this Schon Shines Who’s next?. If I was a betting man. Mcatee goes to Wrexham. Dembele goes to Sheff Weds. We sign Danny Armstrong. Make a fairly unremarkable start and then go panic in the loan market as we've done.

I feel you may be right about those projections OM so I’ll make another that Victor will be our star striker this year. I think he will be the major beneficiary of having real wingers in the team who can deliver the ball in properly so if Armstrong does come in we’ll have that on both sides for the first time.

I’m stood at the bar here W63, what’s your tipple?? it must be summat with a kick if you think AdeboyNoShow is going to find the net more than he did last term!! that said, I do agree that any striker would benefit more if wingers got the ball in the box more often

Not heard from chip for ages rioch hope he’s keeping well and will post again when into the season. I obviously didn’t see the game today but according to the BN he was a constant thorn in the side of PV and could have had more. In fairness I’ve always said that given the right service Victor will score so hopefully if we do have true wingers who can cross accurately he will really benefit and I hope that to be the case. So, I’m looking forward to that pint rioch. 😁

Question guys? Given that we will soon have Rico, Toal, Johnston, Jones,, Forrester, Iredale and Forino for the Centre back positions are we just a little overweight in that regard when light in some of the other positions? Seven for 3 positions seems too much for me although I suppose you could use Jones and Iredale for the wing back positions but even then with Williams, Matheson and even Conway showing real promise can we accommodate all these players? I suppose Matheson and Conway could be loaned out although I think that would be a shame but it still leaves a lot of defenders. Do we think there could be movement out, maybe Iredale or Jones? With 3 to play are we going to put the other four on the bench because if not I think there might be some unhappy faces? Just a thought.
