Strewth, hardly anyone has signed for anyone yet and I'll reiterate we had none of our best players this time last season. I'll reserve my judgement just yet.

Glad to see Connor back at Moss Lane.
Good luck fella

Great loan signing

The loan system can work for us - I would sooner these young players came through our youth set up - but we have to be realistic.

I think pro clubs and players can see the development potential when overseen by Parky and Sorvs. This faith will see others either join through long term loans or sign on to progress in the way Smith has. Not ideal to operate this way, but serves its purpose for now as the club continues to progress

Being full time Parkie and Sorvs have the time to increase and improve our relationship with some league clubs and this could very well lead to more deals like this.

Please expand on "best players" For my money our best 3 players were already on board at the time you mention

Or Smith and Colclough?

[AltyTunnelSteward]

And they are...?

Sadly, that's how it looks at the moment to me too.
I just haven't wanted to say it explicitly.
I've still got faith in the management to get someone appropriate in, but the clock is certainly ticking. 😒

I think its the way that this pre-season has panned out so far.  A really poor run of form (when admittedly we were experimenting), loss of Alistair, poor league start timing has meant unusual preseason games.  All feels flat so far.  I think with the current squad it could go either way, we could easily match and win some of the early games and then we will feel much better.  There is a fear that we have run out of a bit of momentum.

The sort of clubs who finished below us have already strengthened substantially. Look at Weymouth, King's Lynn, Barnet and Dover for example.
Also, only Wealdstone and Dover will be part time like us.

I think the worry is we've kept some players who perhaps should have moved on to make room for new ones. We could only accommodate one or two more and even then we might have to send one or two out on loan.

As you say though, there's still time and I'm sure the management are doing their best working within the budget they've got - which, I think I'm correct in saying, is the biggest we've ever had.
