When does it normally start?
We’ve got McFadzean in insanely early, last year we were late because of playoffs, league two I can’t remember, the year before that Mowbray waited forever. My internal calendar is all off.
2017: We got Doyle in very early on May 11th. McNulty on May 18th, Rod McDonald May 19th and Kelly wasn't far behind either on May 22nd, Liam O'Brien and Dom Hyam on 24th May. Vincenti was 21st June, Biamou 27th June, Grimmer 5th July but Andreu and Davies were early-mid August. All the ones prior to 1st July are not registered until then.
2018: Brown 6th June, Clarke-Harris 13th June, Ogogo 26th June, Sterling loan 27th June, Mason 6th July, Hiwula 2nd August, Baka 7th August, Thomas loan 16th August, Chaplin 30th August
Doubt there'll be such a long delay this year as we know what division we're in.
In 2017 I think the George Thomas saga affected the Andreu signing and I think Willis got an injury which was feared worse than it was which prompted the Davies signing.
2018 our forwards were all signed late. Hiwula and Baka both thrown in immediately after signing.
Our squad for the 1st match of next season will be vastly different to the loss to Scunthorpe:
Liam O'Brien - Gone
Dujon Sterling - Returned to parent club
Brandon Mason
Jordan Willis - Expected Gone
Dominic Hyam
Abu Ogogo - Gone
Jordy Hiwula-Mayifuila
Michael Doyle (C) - Gone
Tony Andreu - Gone
Tom Bayliss
Maxime Biamou - Long term Injury
Substitutes
Corey Addai
Junior Brown
Jack Grimmer - Gone
Jordon Thompson - 6th choice now?
Jordan Shipley
Jonson Clarke-Harris - Gione
Jordan Ponticelli
