Is the playing squad any better than under Fenty.

Quoted from 141133

Like you say - Rumours.

Pettit extended at Maidenhead, nothing heard from the others. It will be just loans I’m sure…….

Even DA wouldn’t want to wait this late so see his squad pulled together.

So many think we are in such a great place but I’m not viewing this from the same lens……

So what is the problem with loans?  I keep seeing posts maligning loan players, when over the years we have had quite a few really good loans.  A loanee is still a person who can play football to the satisfaction of our recruiting team and the manager.

Just listened to Peterborough’s Chairman on Talksport and he explained reasons why a number of clubs lower down the pyramid still hadn’t been involved in much transfer activity and also covered how fans over react to pre-season results (the Posh lost 4-0 at Boston last night).

In relation to transfers he explained that because of the Euros and Copa America many Premiership clubs are using squad and under21 players in their pre-season friendlies and on overseas tours. He said Peterborough are taking two Man City players on loan but said they wouldn’t be joining them for two or three weeks yet. All this has a knock on effect as clubs lower down hang on to players they may be willing to let go once replacements arrive.

I’m sure all town fans would have liked to see two or three more players already signed up but we had players in quite early last year and how did that work out? At the end of the transfer window we can judge how successful we think we’ve been but as many others have said we won’t really know until mid October.

That's ver interesting, and rather backs up what I said about squad sizes. Also backed up by the BBC transfers page, which I've thought for the last month or so has seemed very sluggish.
Would interesting for someone, who's got time, to see how many L2 deals were going through last July compared to this month

Must be going deaf, assuming he must have said they conceded four but omitted to say they’d scored six!

Quoted from 141133

Right now, at this moment in time, I think that’s nailed on!

Tharme, Rose, Thompson, Svanthorsson injured and with no more additions - I fear we’re going to be backs to the walls and struggling. For the first time in years, I’m really concerned about that opening fixture!!!

I honestly think we are very very skint and already looking at a very long season ahead. For those that think we’re going to be pushing for playoffs, I would suggest we need to manage our own expectations.

I think if I’d have known what I do now, I wouldn’t have bothered with a ST and I’d have looked to attend casually.

Tell me nobody else has huge concerns…….

I don’t have huge concerns.
