What's peoples overall thoughts of the prep and Preseason so far?

There's been some really harsh views on here so far, that I think are really unjust, but what's everyone else feeling like?

I'm impressed that all business is done quietly, I think the players that have been added will improve the squad, still think a winger is absolutely needed, and a striker would be second for me.

So, from doom and gloom that I felt when SG left, I'm in a better place now - would still rather have had SG, but am certainly looking forward optimistically.

Things have moved along well apart from a striker but to be fair everybody wants a 20 goal striker. If we can keep defence tight just another 20 goals from the team would put us in the playoffs. as for ticket prices if DC can get us to Premiership I will pay whatever to see us get there.

Pre season is completely different this year to many others given the changes seen. Results truly mean nothing as the players need to gel and take on CCs tactics.

We have a chance to really make something of this season so let's all get behind the team and back them vocally no matter what.

CC needs a few months at least to impress his style of ply on the team and there will no doubt be games where we are too hung ho and get smashed (let's hope not many) but it will happen early on. What we have to for once do is recognise the fresh start we have as a club and back them. Not just immediatley call for change and dent their confidence as a new team. Let alone the fact half are foreign and may need a year to understand the championship.

This is another reason I vote for not paying big bucks on a striker YET. Xmas maybe. Service and style of play was our restriction last year plus a lack of confidence from our strikers. I believe with the new approach chances will come and thus confidence if we back them. Bus is untested and maybe 20 goals. May had no service. Lavery injured. I think all 3 can improve and so we should not gamble big money on 1 person YET.
I missed Atde off as jury's out for me. He's like crouch but less goals. Not sure how we get the best from him. He holds the ball up but is that enough.
