Close season progress

[super_ram]

Nothing is happening. At all. There's a rumour on the other board that we're in for Dale Jennings, I can only hope it's made up.

 

I'm BORED. I just want the football to start again. I don't care what division we're in any more. Bring on Accrington Stanley.

 

 

Progress? I blame the wheelbarrow for losing another wheel. ITS SOOOOOOO SLLLOOOOWW!!

 

 

Unlike last season, our lineup is already looking younger and more energetic. We need more positions filling tho!

 

 

Who do we have left? its hard to even remember.

 

 

It's hard to say because (hopefully) more players are to be signed but so far I am very pessimistic, I just hope we don't do a Tranmere, I hate the basement division because there is a real danger of dropping out of the league.

 

 

Like @tonyhateley I can see us doing a Tranmere unless we actually go & get some quality players as lets be fair, we still have the majority of the squad from last season & that squad was league two bottom four every day of the week.

 

Last seasons squad could be characterised by these four words; slow, talentless & extremely unimaginative, lets hope we're not saying the same thing in 12 months time.

 

 

On paper in my opinion the backbone looks quite good.

@MichaelRiordan shown me his current line-up the other day and I was quite optimistic about it,​ we must remember this is League Two and there's not many sides that could give a run for the top half of League One. Yes, this is a division that is all about about being physical, grafting and form but I believe on paper we have a decent squad.

We got relegated for a mix of reasons, it wasn't all down to the squad of 2014/15.

 

 

If we get quality in, then we can top it up with some loans. Currently I do feel we need more pace and skill, without the right balance we just go from one end of the spectrum to the other. We need signings which make the fans believe we will be promoted!

 

 

We need to add some real depth to the squad, if we just signed steady league two players I would be happy.

I don't expect to see us bringing any big names as such, perhaps we will be better for this but this season for me is all about how we handle pre season. I don't read too much into the results but it does show me which players are prepared for the season ahead. If we keep them motivated, I think we should be okay in the league. I think some fans worry to much about being relegated.

 

 

Yes, depending on the quality of the signings, obviously. However, at the moment there is complete silence from the club. 

There has been 1 signing to date of OK quality. No exactly appeased when other clubs around our level are snapping up players. 

So how does everyone feel now ? Line up and formation? Happy,optimistic or  what?

Pre season ssems to be going well, players look actively busy and much positive news in flooding. Let's see how things go against Port Vale and Scunthorpe.

Damn Notts... I want something to moan about... this just isn't right.

Greece have voted no... this must be the Trews and Rodders fault... moan... *****... whine... moan.... oh woe is me... fidget... moan

Ahhh... that's better

[DangerousSausage]

Too many signings, I'll never remember them all. Too many players with funny names. No update on what really matters: the mushy peas situation. Trew out!

[Super_Danny_Allsopp]

No signings announced in over 12 hours... get a grip Notts!

The unrest will come but pleased do not let this be the site whereby it happens, oh sod that where is this championship striker? I demand answers.

The constant talk of a "Championship striker" always makes me smile. If he joins a League 2 club, he is by definition not a Championship striker
