Problem we have is that we will need to hit the ground running this season. IMHO the league will be a lot tougher this season than last. People are saying SR needs 10+ games to bed the squad in. Well unfortunately by that time the pack will be well ahead of us if it doesn't go to plan. The pressure is going to be well on him. The appointment of GB helps with an experienced head to help but so far the signings have been anything but quality and i still can't believe we are going into the new season with Fondop-Talom as potentially our main striker.

End of last season was a complete blow out and yes we are going to need good football to get the crowds in. Pressure is well on.

Luke Young is quality.

Where are you getting the idea that MFT is our main striker?

Good post.

Pre-season is for bedding in!!! Teams don’t turn up at the World Cup and use the group stage to bed in. They turn up ready to smash the opposition. The 30 points available in the first ten games count the same as they do in the last ten.

I do feel that our latest appointment has instilled a bit more confidence in SR for me. I am hoping it's a good sign for the sort of players we are about to sign, as I have been a bit concerned about the lack of activity. I don't think MFT is a great signing, it's a risky one that could go either way. But recruiting Barrow has definitely made me feel a bit more optimistic. Just hoping the players we sign are of proven quality now.

I did say potentially our main striker as the rumours are that the other striker will be a on young loan signing. I would like to see Quigley or someone of that ilk come into the squad but im not hopeful.

I really hope not. Surely not? He looks exactly the type we need as a fourth striker. So with Holroyd already here another two to sign.

Or maybe I'm expecting too much...
