JBW played a midweek friendly behind closed doors. Better days around the corner?

Hope so. Interesting to see how Jerome copes in this league. Much less time on the ball, possession of the ball around the opposition box and much much more defending.

Well at least we're getting some sort of update. I wish Hak would be a bit more forthcoming and upbeat when it comes to news about players and anything else come to that. Communication with supporters is not great these days.

Careful Rob.
The forum police will soon be getting at you for being this and that.

We may not be getting behind the players but the opposing forwards are.

Just a shame that we have a decent player on loan playing Left back. We need some better forwards at the moment. Left back is not an issue. Saying that, I cant wait to see JBW back in the team.

I know, it just seems typical at the moment. Hak has secured the sole excellent loan signing for LB but I have a feeling it was only for a short term. Jerome will always be welcome back. Signings needed include another centre back and holding midfielder but these deficiencies have been apparent from the start of the season. Initial recruits have not been good enough. Another forward ? Yes please.

Trouble is Nick because we cant afford NL wage demands (like Amaluzor) and anyone we get will be good NLS at best and we already have too many good NLS-but-not-sure-about-NL players. This season is about digging in with what we've got (getting loanees to cover injuries), trying not to go bankrupt and hopefully even get on a better financial footing by being careful (not including unceremoniously dumping popular and long serving physios that deserved better). We could of course try the Clown strategy of a squad of loanee NL and League 2 rejects still paid their inflated wages by their home clubs whilst going through the motions in the black and amber but look how that ended up! Its going to be a tough season, and thats just what we have to face. More transparency and communication from Hak, Bill, Terry and Oliver to get us all through it still smiling would, however, very, very welcome.

Ironic he asks the fans not to moan when his interviews have been criticised for being overly bleak in the past weeks.

Still waiting for Olivers promised blog,perhaps he's too busy to bother just yet.

Will be interesting to see how JBW gets on.... some of his game doesn't lend itself to the NL.
