All the usual stuff here and don't forget to make your predictions!
If they are in the squad, the season starts in earnest now, and:-Anybody know if the new boys are in the squad tomorrow?

Not sure where you’re getting a ‘scattergun approach’ from ? The signings have all seemed quite particular to me. It would have been ideal had the last 4 signings happened at the beginning of pre-season but that’s just the nature of the transfer window. We’ve signed what we needed when it was available and it doesn’t shock me that what appears to be 4 high quality signings have taken place come the end of respective windows. We needed defenders - we got them. We needed a defensive midfielder and we’ve got one and we needed someone to link up midfield and attack and support / put pressure on the existing strikers and with Woodburn we’ve got just that.Good luck to the team tomorrow but I feel this scattergun approach on and off the pitch will not last much longer without points on the board.
Good to see an experienced midfielder in Kenny D coming in. He must play IMO.
Madine up front with Yates on the left and CJ on the right for me. Fingers crossed for tomorrow.
There is an abundance of talent in this squad with the new additions and MV signing a new deal. But we really need points.
Sadly I feel it's still too early to expect the deadline signings and the new centre backs to have settled in and therefore have influence. Happy with a point, delighted if it's 3!3-0 Yates hat trick
I can’t see Critch playing any of the deadline signings even though I agree with Mac that Dougall would be picked if I were head coach.Sadly I feel it's still too early to expect the deadline signings and the new centre backs to have settled in and therefore have influence. Happy with a point, delighted if it's 3!
Just so wish we could all go and back this young and exciting team. UTP.
I’d go for the latter RektsI had a dream last night we won 4-0, with Bez scoring.
I’m either Nostradamus or I need committing.
Not even had one training session yet.Disappointing not to see Woodburn even on the bench
It’s to protect the back 4 a bit more and give us a platform to play our football. He’s not playing for a 0.0Disappointing all round for me but hey ho lets wait and see...I think its a negative team set up for nil nil myself...I dont think it will be pretty to watch and NC is under the microscope if this doesnt work...how many chops and changes still to come week in week out?
Some one gets it !!!People have been moaning all week that we’re not solid enough and give cheap goals away.
Critchley names a team which should be more solid, then he gets slated for ‘playing for a point’.
The bloke can’t win!
