Feels like a both a coup and a bit of a risk signing at the same time. Given our lack lustre start to the season, there's instantly a lot riding on him to suddenly turn us into an attacking force. Could be a key player for us if he remains fit, but feel a little deflated that here we are again...

Saturday should be a good barometer to start to gauge what sort of team we have this year, after a fairly erratic and sometimes frustrating first few games. Whilst we tanked Orient 4-0 in our last away match, the performance didn't merit the result and was fairly fortuitous. If we are serious...

But you waved in these (multiple) foreign investors with open arms who had the wealth to flash the cash and laud it over the rest of the league who were trying to run a club within its means. Good to see that you now think a local owner running a club within its means is the way to go, so we...

There were rumours of Ipswich interest our end earlier in the summer so must’ve been something in it. Our owners shelled out half a mil on a long term contract so that there was a decent profit if he succeeded and we offloaded him. Imagine your offer didn’t hit the right notes.

The seemingly ever injured Tom Lowery has picked up his latest innocuous long term injury in training, poor guy, so we're in the hunt for a midfielder. At the time his signing looked like a real coup, but rumours abound that he had actually failed multiple fitness tests at various clubs before...

A relatively straight forward progression into the next round for us despite playing pretty much a second string. Shows that the summer recruitment has given us depth and a real competition for places this year, but mindful that FGR are a relatively unknown quantity to judge at the moment based...

Yesterday was a point gained that I didn't think we'd get, so happy with the result. The usual problems of creativity in the final third were there again until we chased the game and overloaded with attacking options. Our starting XI is still missing that number 10. Talk from the manager that...

Something tells me we're not going to enjoy today, ignoring the weather. We look a couple of weeks away from really being ready to go. Whilst I have no time or respect for Barton, one thing you can be sure of is that he'll have them fired up for today. 0-2 for me. I think we'll be a much...

Personally I think the Shrewsbury home and away kits are the pick of this years releases in this division.

Melksham Town have got a lot to answer for in all this.

I find it slightly troubling that our pre season program wasn't as well planned as it could have been. I don't think the players have got the minutes under their belts that you would have liked by this point. The loss of the entire fitness and physio set up without as yet any permanent...

Lost 1-0 at home to Bristol City. Didn't go but general consensus was that so far there doesn't seem to be much change in our lack of ability to really create much in the final third and score goals. I'm anticipating that unlike most recent seasons, we'll be slow starters this year.

I think we sold 14,300 odd in the end.

Your owners could be starting to adopt our model of looking for value in the market with frees, saving on transfer fees but allowing for a bigger wage budget as a consequence. You need a good scouting network, but mostly luck for it to pay off.

Started the season on top, then sank like a stone. Sounds very familiar....

I'm amazed at the number of people who have us a promotion material and even outright champions. Is it because we recruited early and so its stuck in the mind? We've signed 10 odd players but in truth not many were necessarily seasoned winners at their previous clubs. They look solid and full...

We should be top. This is a travesty of justice! Cheers Wigan.

Squinnying over a harmless bit of fun pre-season league. Lighten up mate.

Seems quite a coup for us to land him. Reading reports that he was all set to join Sheff Weds before Moore left. For whatever reason it doesn't seem like there had been much interest in him from other Championship clubs. I wonder if he needed a better agent. Seems like our gain though. Imagine...
