[One Foot in the Grave]

I expect one of the two incoming signings we're being teased with on Twitter will step straight into the starting XI. I'm saying no more....

[distancetraveller]

Are you one of the chosen few?
If you know,  spill the beans man

This forum is like a game of Cluedo at times

What happened to the running with a smaller squad narrative? Including the academy graduates we can't be far short of 30 strong now.

[Bath Alty]

I make it 24 excluding those out on loan or long term injured. That includes the academy signings.

I think you are right.   And he is left.

[One Foot in the Grave]

Welcome back Eddie. And welcome to Dan - an unknown quantity, and hopefully with plenty to offer.

[swindellsworth]

Just to clarity , that's Eddy Jones and Dan Malone , both on loan from Stoke .

[robininstockport]

Welcome and good luck

[oneedham]

Glad we have brought in Eddy Jones.

Hopefully we can now start to see a stable back 4 of
Barrows, Toby, Baines or J.Jones ,E.Jones with Byrne in net.

That defence will be able to cope with most teams imho.

According to the JL site, the squad stands at 32 if you include the 4 loanees. That's excluding the 6 academy lads.

[Bath Alty]

I saw that but counting the names on the same sites first team page gives 32 including the academy players, those out on loan and the injured 3. So I think we have 24 senior players potentially available for selection

[Saughall Robin]

Still not the smaller squad we were expecting though. Perhaps some are on short term contracts to 'prove' themselves?

Also, as others have said, difficult to see where the goals are to come from.

[Ballers]

It might be a smaller senior squad but a full time club is always going to have 30 players including capable academy players.

Be a waste of being full time if you haven’t got enough to do some decent 11 v 11 work.

The squad isn’t too small, it’s not good enough. Hence we’ve got 6 loan players in (large amount in September that). Coupled with two significant injuries

[Alty Bri]

I have to say, 6 loan players by the start of September ain't too promising.
