Just want to point out Luton lost today, and they have Collins. Disappointing results last two, but it's not the end of the world.

We've also signed proven L2 players? The only starters I'd say who aren't 'proven' are Stokes, Willis, Grimmer and Jones. The former three have played the majority of their football in L1 and Jones looks like he's going to do well this season.

I think signing him, if anyone was already in doubt, signalled huge intent on what this club wants to achieve this season. Really looking forward to seeing him this season.

No one can begrudge him, but I do think it'll be a bad career move for him. Personally, I wish him all the best and prove me wrong. It's a move that sums up football atm: he was unsure what to do, Leicester unsure if he's worth 450k - peanuts for them - but the agent was sure what was best...

This is true, but at least this time around he's brought in his own players. Last time he had to make do with someone else's signings which may or may not have complimented the style he wanted to play. I interpret MR's goal is to build a solid, cohesive team unit. Starting with a solid spine...

I'd like to reserve judgement too, even Luton lost 1-0 the week after they battered Yeovil into oblivion. It's still early days, and with 12 new signings, there are probably some things to iron out. For me, I want us to start scoring early, especially against the weaker teams of the division. We...

Maybe not, but if we could go into games knowing we won't concede, and if we do it'll be no more than 1 goal, that takes a lot of pressure off the team. So far, we've played well defensively minor 1 goalkeeping howler - on a positive note, we kept Nouble quiet who was in a hit of form...

On the flip side, we've conceded one goal which every L2 GK saves 99/100. I think (and hope) we'll concede less than 50 goals this season. We gifted a team who were playing for a draw a goal that gave them the lead. It's the kind of game where if we scored first, we win in a manner similar to...

I would keep him in myself, I've just got a feeling MR will mix it up! I'm not overly concerned about the loss to Newport so 1-2 changes will do.

Andreu in for Beavon, and Nazon may get the nod over Vincenti... No need for any knee jerk reactions! Going for a win here, break the mold of drawing this fixture!

I think Biamou is supposed to be that player, MR said of him: 'He is a raw talent with pace, power and aggression, and is also good in the air'. We also missed out on that Donny striker who is a target man too. I do hope Biamou picks things up, but of all our signings, he looks like the weak...

We already have, as you're describing Andreu... That's what he was signed for at least.

I don't disagree with you, I just think you're being too idealistic - how many options do you think a L2 team can have? We've already got a massive squad... Biamou is supposed to be a physical striker you describe, he hasn't really demonstrated that yet unfortunately! I think Andreu and McNulty...

Do we really need that? We have Nazon and Jones for pacey, direct wide players. If anything, Baker would add something a bit different. I can sympathise on one level about the target man, but I don't think it's a necessity and we've got 4 1st team strikers. That's without including Ponticelli...

Far too many people panicking. Disappointing result but I hope the players learn from it all. Teams will put 10 behind the ball against us and we've got to learn how to deal with it. They scored a goal O'Brien saves 9/10 - it should've been a draw... I'd be more concerned if we're thoroughly...

None of those clubs, those or with similar 'prestige' have signed any of our promising players...

If he was good enough for Pompey last season, he's good enough for me. I'm not that fussed whether we sign him or not, but I think he'd be a good addition to the squad if he's available.

I'd say so. We don't don't have many 'out and out' wingers; Vincenti, Nazon (isnt he a CAM/ST?) and Andreu are typically more central players who can play out wide. But, more importantly, he adds experience to the squad - he was promoted last season - and we know he'll chip in with about 10...

I'm not worried about it too much. It is the kind of game we need to be winning to have a successful season... That said, Newport with their new manager, are a good outfit. What concerns me is that we appear to struggle with teams who play 5 at the back. I trust Robins will sort it out.

Would be a good signing. I think this would mean Biamou would be omitted from the match day 18. Only signing I'm worried about in all honesty.
