"...it's been a difficult first six games and obviously we'd have wanted more points on the board. I'm happy with the pre-season and the benefits will be felt more as the season goes on.
We wanted more numbers in, but looking at the players available and willing to come I needed to be sure they were actually an improvement on what we already have. I know the fans are disappointed with the start but there is an element of them having to be realistic about where we are as a football club at this moment in time"
