    Pre Season and L1 plan

    Posted by Piilkinhio on 8/6/2025, 14:59:58

    Remember the days when we planned our business early, strategically to match a way of playing. We had the best chance of starting well. Let’s see where we get to this pre season, can’t be as bad as the last one.

    Love to see us get our key business done early, ins and outs

    Given how poor they were I’d also have them back in early. They took their break during the season!

      Don’t know what to make of the coming season. Surely the club realise that last season failures started in pre season and that this season it’s crucial we get it right.
      The biggest task is turning the losing habit into a winning one. There’s no doubt we have one of the best squads in the league, if not the best, but that doesn’t count for anything without a winning mentality.
      Refreshing the squad won’t be easy but thankfully we seem to have the right people in place. The main objective is to identify players who want to play for this club. Those who don’t want to be here can leave. No more going through the motions.

        Completely agree. Commitment off the pitch has to be matched by third on it. A few last year took the P.

        Unfortunately they are on big money and won’t want to mode on

          As many have commented our players looked far from fit until MB came in and made them work.

          Who ever stays or comes in needs a proper pre season to make sure they are fully fit, this division is no push over, we have enough quality so we need to be faster and stronger, physically and mentally, to go straight back up.


          What kind of fool would follow signs that were never there.

          A lot will depend on outgoings and that may take time.

          With the squad as it is today, what 'vacancies' are there? A full back on either side definitely, replacements for Bell and the failed Hashi/Walters.

          Otherwise we're basically at capacity until we start selling a few.

            Very, very harsh calling Walters a failure.
            He's 20 and was playing out of position/with a broken foot for the majority of the games he started.

            Was one of the most highly rated young defenders in the country a couple of years ago

              Fair enough, I meant more that they were "failed signings" rather than failures personally. The whole squad failed as footballers, but those two were mostly excluded from squads after Bloomfield came in so I'm assuming that the Club has written them off.

            With the season starting in about seven weeks, they should return for pre-season in a week. Hopefully, it will be a proper pre-season without this "last-minute Luton" nonsense.

                  We should be building a squad now that can compete towards top of championship and that can smash league 1

                  Some teams announcing signings already…

                  Changes at the scouting level won’t help as they’ll have to settle.

                    We are the "biggest" club in L1 next season.

                    Title favourites and able to pay the biggest wages

                    We are stuffed full of players who have all played at a much higher level, a fit and healthy Baptiste is a quality player at this level, Marv likewise.

                    Recruitment is easy, if we want the best player in League 1 or 2, they will come.

                    We have a number of players who will leave and could be make-weights in incoming deals, Mads, Brown, Woodrow and Holmes.

                    We must sign cover for Eli and replace Woodrow and Brown - that is urgent and we need those players in and playing in pre-season.

                      Dont disagree about Brown but he's on a hefty weekly wage and I can't see any club offering anything close to that.

                      We may have to endure him for another season.

                        I actually don't mind Brown. He puts a shift in. Looks like he gives a shit. But like Woodrow, I'm not sure where he fits in the team.

                        We were the biggest club in the Conference and were stuck there for 5 years, I'm taking nothing for granted

                            Yeah, paying the highest wages would great for us in the conference eh?

                            Last season showed players being on good money doesn't mean much on the pitch.

                            'Recruitment is easy' the majority of players we signed in the last 3 transfer windows says otherwise.

                            This isn't Champ Manager Chunk. It's real life.

                              Quite the contrary, they treated it as a retirement run down and easy money. In all my years of being a supporter I have never felt the disgust I do now.

                                  Cuba definitely eats Mars Bars upside down, so he can feel the 'veins' on his tongue.

                                'Able to pay the biggest wages'.

                                But not make unsustainable commitments, which several other clubs are almost certainly going to do.

                                You speak as if you have understanding and authority, but transparently you don't know the 'realpolitik' (look it up if you need to).

                                I am confident we will trade well,but your presumptions and demands indicate, yet again, that you don't actually have a clue.

                                    Why replace?

                                    We need cover as he will return at some point and in League 1 he will be an absolute match winner.

                                    Even if its after Christmas.

                                    He could be effectively our January 'signing'.

                                        ACL 12 months minimum. So March / April but best to write him out of next seasons plans as won’t be fit
