To read some of the comments in relation to pre-season you would think so.

Seem to recall when we were relegated under Thorn he played the final game of the season at Southampton. Skysports had him linked with most top Premier League teams. Stayed around longer than most have and am sure would have had more lucrative options in his younger days.

I did think providing we dont get another outbreak in the squad that the Forest game might come a week too soon for us... Who knows... We might actually end up having a stronger side to field than them.

Forest's pre-season game against Villa today has been cancelled at short notice after covid cases at Forest it seems. Just shows it won't just be us who have our pre-season ripped up. You could argue it may benefit us that we had an outbreak before the season started rather than a few weeks in...

Notice Chay Thompson shared the teamsheet. Looks like Bright has 11. Interesting that it appears Rocky was given number 12.

You can't have a whole squad of potential. Ideally you you'd want experience in each area of the team to help develop these players. We are still lacking a bit of experience in midfield.

Said the same on anothet thread. I swear the season we became Champions I thought our recruitment was hugely underwhelming in that summer. We then brought in Walsh and O'Hare on loan... And Godden admittedly. Holding your nerve in the loan market, particularly this summer, and waiting until real...

It's buried in this article but it is written by a locum journo. Very clumsy article. Says he was the third trialist tonight and tomorrows game is at the Ricoh! Personally wouldn't be surprised if Cranie is in the squad tomorrow but probably to help out the club and us help him get fit...

Probably adds weight to what Robins was saying if anything. Some players from the Euros wont even join up with the Premier League squads probably till next week. Players like him won't be allowed to leave on loan until the big guns are back.

Wolves game will be streamable https://www.wolves.co.uk/news/club/20210727-stream-stoke-and-coventry-friendlies-on-wolves-tv-and-facebook/

Think when Davenport was sold we had about £250k of the proceeds to spend. Remember the Telegraph reporting we were in for Darren Moore and Malky Mackay. Think we ended up spending the money on Stern John and bringing Dean Leacock in on loan.

As a child, Kevin Gallacher being sold hit me hard. Seem to recall we played possibly Sheffield United (I think) in the evening and there had been a problem with Wegerle's medical so he hadn't been signed in time. I had hope this meant the whole deal was off!

Another possible option from Chelsea could be Trevoh Chalobah. Can play centre back or defensive central midfield.

Easy to say with hindsight but should pre-season have started a week earlier knowing there was a risk that covid was still spreading in non vaccinated groups.

Encouraging that we at least sounded to be on the front foot going forward. The box formation hampers us so much. I fear Robins doesn't see it like that though.

The first half line up sent a shiver down my spine. Five defenders, two holding midfielders, Shipley struggling to get in the game, O'Hare running round like a headless chicken and an isolated striker not touching the ball and getting dogs abuse. Camped in our half for the whole game with no out...

Think they were top when he joined. Wasn't really fancied at Gillingham in League 1. Don't think he has a future here personally.

When @Skybluebeliever mentioned the Chelsea link I hoped this may be who we were in for. Had a quick search last night to see whether he had featured for Chelsea in pre-season. Their u23s had just postponed a game and there was some suggestion he may have covid I think I read.

You've been pretty well informed before I notice @Skybluebeliever . A trialist or a new loan signing in for Saturday do you think? Also, where has Bright been? I thought the club would have been tweeting a lot of footage of him at Ryton but there hasn't been a peep. Leads me to think he isn't there.

Further cases across the club including first team players.
