So far there doesn’t seem to be an obvious pattern to these signings, they all seem to be players who could be used in different formations. Not much sign of the manager having a settled system as yet. I’m hoping he does decide on one and doesn’t start chopping and changing and tinkering like an L2 Ranieri.  Hewitt looks as if he could be the back up midfielder, a lot will depend on how Clifton has developed. We seem to have an abundance of forwards, let’s just hope one or two of them can be regular scorers.

Things are looking up though, Jolly appears to be getting at least some of the players he wants and not just the leavings of the bigger budget boys. We should be able to judge his management a lot better this time around.

I think 433 was a decent "core formation" for us last season and with the players that have come in, could be a good one next season.  It can adapt to 35/53-2 during a game but also gives us a bit more attacking intent.

Let's hope we have no serious issues with key personnel at the beginning of the season as it appears that Elliot Whitehouse was a key part of MJ's plans last season. Personally think we need a better left back than what Ring showed last season - let's hope he comes back stronger, another centre back and a creative midfielder, then I believe we have a decent squad with a little bit of slack.

One thing about the 4 signings so far is they are all over 6ft tall

So we should be a threat if we can get some decent corners and crosses in.

I feel more optimistic than a couple of weeks ago. The signings so far look decent. We had to strengthen up front as it was simply not good enough last season. Hopefully we have injected some pace and a bit of physicality (which i think you need at this level). At least we have options up front and a couple of guys with some kind of scoring record.

Could certainly do with adding some creativity and some defensive cover.

What with a potential takeover as well that would create a buzz around the place...a decent start to the campaign and who knows? Looking to take a step forward from the last couple of seasons.

4-3-1-2 would be an interesting option instead of 4-3-3

My expectation is that we’ll find out between August and May. I have no idea how we’ll do, and whether our new players are better than players other clubs are signing.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.
