I am hoping they will all struggle and Derby are deducted points. I was shocked how long we took to adapt last season, as I thought we would be fine. Losing a lot of our main players to injury did not help. Hoping Dabo, Rose, Godden, Walker and Jones will shake off last seasons injury problems...

I don't know anything about the promoted teams or their squads. Bookies seem to think Hull will be fine. Peterborough and Blackpool seem to have bought a lot of players, but are they any good at this level? History says promoted teams recently usually struggle. Any opinions if we should be...

Footie is a squad sport now especially if the more substitute rule remains. Everyone has their favourite 11 players but selection will change game to game depending on the opposition and current fitness. There will be some players MR will always want in the team if fit like O'Hare and dare I...

Gut feeling will be pushed to go straight into first team. Lots of players never make it back after injuries but look at James as an example if he keeps fit. After so long out, there are often niggling injuries at first and I expect Jones to have a few. Even though playing in League 2, I thought...

Argos deal as MR alluded to I suspect. Good signing if works out. Thought Godden wont be fit for start as still resting that bothersome foot which means he is not up to speed fitness wise. A lot of the players have credited Vivash with improving their game, even McFaz at his age. Think there is...

I wonder if our goalie coach was with him at Cardiff or was that too long ago? MR does tend to upgrade players and I hope he is better than Marosi, as I would be surprised if he is cheaper. Big bugger which always helps.

If Newcastle were really in for him it would be no contest, so as many have already said this sounds like agent BS.

Spot on. We had signed him effectively last year. Glad finally confirmed as 750k is good business.

Was it Valencia who set up the method of having about 5 players earmarked in every position in case they missed out on their earlier choices. Whichever club it was were amazingly successful. My worry is we have a lot of previous of buying some really good development players from the UK and this...

Would start getting worried if we were in for Waghorn and he resigned for Derby.

Bremang looks a bit of a beast but never really troubled our bench. I read he had issues (but so did Clarke-Harris). Never saw anywhere we got a fee for him just a sell on clause, although I will be happy to be corrected...maybe a development fee.

Absolutely, but occasionally knowing someone personally like the Everton youth players may help.

Hope Shippers is given another chance possibly playing on the right like near the seasons end, cutting in on his left foot. Allen I would love to come good but he looked well off the pace last season. A league 1 club will snap him up if available. Think we will struggle to move the other 3 on...

Bristol looks a strange situation...let half a team go and sign James. Hope they don't gazump us on any more players.

Squad update. Currently lost out on James which is massive if he keeps fit. Marosi gone. Still looking a relegation battle at present along with Derby and promoted clubs, so we do need more bodies soon especially with Kelly unfit for the start. New first team coach which I assume should be an...

Liked Marosi and thought there was room for improvement. Nevertheless, Wilson despite his faults outperformed him last year, although probably due to Marosi's injury. Before the injury, thought Marosi was struggling to adapt to the higher level albeit with some poor defensive performances in...

I suppose if you are going for a striker it is going to be really difficult to get anyone who is even as good as Godden and Walker without spending big money. As a guess the Waghorn rumour may have legs. No fee, probably biggish wages along with a young loan striker from the Prem for the other...

What type of player should we go for? Last seasons Luton method big and physical or more with footballing ability. Ideally a mixture is best but with a limited budget should we sacrifice some of our footballing style for a bit of brawn. Obviously, good footballers win out in the end but you...

Not a rumour, but back in the mists of time we turned down future European footballer of the year Kevin Keegan for being too small and Chris Waddle when they had trials. Someone was seriously shit back in the day.

Top bloke. If his football ability had matched his commitment and love of the club he would have been a mega star rather than a third choice striker. He never gave less than 100% and played his part in getting us promoted through the leagues. Hope he gets a big payday somewhere else as he...
