I think if you look at it objectively we are down on quality from the team that finished the season quite easily. The new board needs to put their money were their mouth is for me.
I completely agree with your first sentence. It feels to me however that Dan Rice has simply continued with the recruitment strategy that the previous owners and current football management team had already established. That seems an entirely sensible approach, although it relies on good recruitment.
We need four quality additions before the window closes on Friday 30 August otherwise I fear we’re in for a repeat of the first half of last season.
Reports that page 12 on any thread is now ‘subscription only’ after a cash injection into Gasroom2 by mystery investors from The Caucuses are apparently unfounded.
A counter offer by a consortium fronted by Rob Couhig and Pete Winkleman is also being denied by those ITK (worked in the club shop a while back).

Mr Inflikted might be an absolute obsessive follower of De Barr, but I don't think it's fair to add your own fetish in his spam posting
Let's try that again shall we

Nice homage to CheTML there son!

I think we'll see at least two loans before the window closes. Possibly more
I think the only thing we’re down on from last season is Freddie Potts.
Possibly Forino-Hartridge is a downgrade but Iets give him a few more games to bed in.
Completely disagree. We have lost Forino, Longwijk and Potts who were important players.
Bishop and Harvie are massive upgrades. Hartridge, Bakinson and Udoh are all excellent players at this level.
And there WILL be further new signings too.
I think it is three minimum. I believe too we will get those in - maybe on loan.
What on earth went wrong on page 12 ?
Have we been invaded ?
This just in: Dan Rice's analytics of the past year and a half has resulted in Blooms now only being allowed to make transfers in Januarys.
Gone completely for me as well.🤷♂️

Business as usual, nothing to see here etc etc.
Tried to upload a picture from my phone and it broke the forum
I think things should be OK now. I had to delete the post that broke things, and a couple of posts that were quoting it.
I fear I may have been guilty myself a year or two ago of a similar offence.
We are currently the only team to have scored against Wrexham in five league games.
That’s remarkable.
Despite what might happen tonight, that's still a valid stat 😀
