Yes, it’s been reported we’re signing 3 more players and two of which will be loans. Robins says he wants 4 new signings.

Cheers, let’s say Bushiri signs as well, 2 signings would be a CB and versatile midfielder?

We've scored just 1 goal in 300 mins of friendlies so far, and have conceded 13.

Feels like we're way behind with our pre-season at the moment. Covid obviously had a big impact. Recruitment seems to have been difficult too. Confident we'll get there eventually, but first few weeks could be tough as we get up to speed.

Moore is like an iron pole left in the rain, lad looks to have a lot more rust to shake off in preseason…

If it’s 3 signings, I’d guess a LWB, CB and a CM. As for the 4th signing, at a guess, I could see us signing either a CAM or a more experienced centre back to eventually replace McFadz. Long term, we need to move on from Kelly and McFadz despite them being instrumental last season.

There’s a few things for Robins to consider:

- is Reid ready to step up to the championship?
- can DaCosta play LWB effectively?
- likewise with Burroughs at RWB and LWB
- does MR trust Pask and Rose to be effective in the championship?
- does he trust his CM options?
- how committed to 'the box' and if Robins trusts JJ to be effective there

All around, I think the Championship will be of a lower standard this season than previous years because of the prolonged impact of loss of ticket revenue has had on the league. A lot of teams, really relied on ticket sales to keep their losses sustainable and lot of those teams will be tightening their belts. A few teams are yet to make signings and generally it seems to be a slower transfer window for the entire league so the league is definitely in transition.

Put like that it is a damning statistic and doesn’t bode well for the season ahead. The Covid outbreak has done us no favours but that is possibly the same for all teams. We are a couple of weeks away from when we have to be ready and I suspect there will be lots of unpredictable results in all leagues until it all settles down with the Euro’s, covid and incomplete squads.
I hope we can hit the ground running but I wouldn’t put my house on it at present but I have faith in the manager to have a competitive team when the season begins.

It's got to be a massive week or 2 of transfer dealing if we are to improve on last years position.

Out of the teams we’ve played so far, you wouldn’t expect our greatest loss to be against MK Dons.
