I agree.. we’ll concede less and control more games with the signings we’ve already got in.. there’s time to sign another keeper and a CF or two.. I’d say we’re in a better state overall than last JulyWe had no strikers fit and kept pace with play-off contenders on goals scored. Objectively we were worse at the back - that's what the stats clearly say.
We are quite clearly trying to get more options up front and have signed a promising young striker already. More will come.
But it makes perfect sense, looking at the teams stats, to prioritise defensive reinforcements. Which we have.
Something the moaners don't want to admit is that we also appear to have warned off interest in our actual best player - as in our own - Jack Clarke.
But you’re saying we are going to be 31 goals down, going by your straight to the point statement? So you don’t think we’ll be 31 goals down? Or do you? Which is it?Point to where I said we'd score 31 goals less.
We need to replace the 31 goals we've lost, the players replacing those 3 players will need to score those goals or contribute in another way to the benefit of the team.
Who's the replacements for Simms, Amad and potentially Stewart.
Hemir could potentially be one but we'll need more.
There’s an argument our fit starting 11 vs last seasons for starting 11 is weaker as we have no Stewart or Ahmad.We had no strikers fit and kept pace with play-off contenders on goals scored. Objectively we were worse at the back - that's what the stats clearly say.

No the laxatives have workedMovements as in signings
and SimmsWeaker as it stands we are minus Amads goals and Stewart’s will we have a fit left back come the start of the season.
The one first team keeper we have is the only one we needed last season and he’s now a year older and more experienced with an excellent championship season behind him.We have one first team goalkeeper with a 16 year old as back up, how is that stronger?
Is this just your hope or have you heard something?Some interesting movements in the coming week, hopefully should put a few more season tickets out of the door![]()
Not like the fine users of this board to do anything like that!I know mate, I was just being a twat![]()
Batth is likely to go imho which will make us threadbare in terms of experience.Both simms and bass signed after today's date last year (bass in 2 days, Simms a week from now)
You want a centre back? We have Bathh, Ballard, Triantis, Seelt, Onien, Anderson, Johnson and arguably Alesse, Cirkin and Hume
Or have I missed sarcasm ?
This for me. I’d we can be better defensively you don’t need to score as many.Squad still looks to me like it has goals in it. Amad is a big loss, but I'm not sure how we replace a lad that cost as much as he did other than in the form of a loan. The clubs obviously still looking at strikers, and the GK from Man U.
I think we're going to have to be better defensively this season with the amount of strong teams in the league. We gave a lot of poor goals away, so that and home form are the big things that need to be rectified for me.
We've bought two centre-backs and have six on the books, with three full-backs who can also play there?Need to cut the crap and get in three strikers and a centre back - otherwise it'll be more of the same.
The original question was are we weaker or stronger.
Having an opinion that we might be slightly weaker in the goals department does not make someone a moaner.
I don’t think Hume’s number of games was down to injury, more that he didn’t get a regular place in the team until Christmas.Some of it is injuries, we got about 20 league games each out of Ballard, Hume and Cirkin, if we can get them up near 35-40 then we'll definitely be better in defence.
