Do we think we're done in the transfer market now? Is Slade still keen on Jack Bridge? Noticed he was on the bench for Southend last night. What else do we need? A versatile defender? We don't appear to have our token Glen Downey/Terry Barwick yet.

No we are nowhere done in the transfer market,

We have 12 midfielders to ship out.

Probably an unpopular view but considering the unbalanced squad RS inherited, he's done a pretty good job of bringing in some decent players and getting some balance into the squad.  When everyone is fit and firing it looks much better than a year ago.

I'm sure I read that JJ Hooper had been given the number 9

You would of thought that yes we are done now. You could argue we don't have cover for Dixon but then again Davies could play that position if required.

I think right now we have a good set of players and an even better set of players when everyone is fit

I think we are a versatile Carl Magnay type defender short, someone who can cover all bases if necessary. I know they are a bit hard to come by and if we are where we are on September 1st then I'd still be happy but I just think that would finish us off.

We have a promotion winning side now,

So no more players needed.

You have to give Slade his dues. He has slowly drip fed the signings in a calm and collected manner when many around have been a bit apprehensive.

Of course the team is unproven and I'm sure some key first targets have slipped through the net...

But... I feel confident we have a much more balanced squad.

Who knows what is to come
