I've got (misplaced?) faith in Hemed.

Yep, I'll give him a good chance to show us what he can do. Just give him some opportunities.

No! What was mostly our U21 squad couldn't score against Lewes.
Only Mäenpää, Rosenior, Calde, Ince and one of COG & Colunga will get in the 1st team squad on a regular basis next season.

Some of the gaps and weaknesses catered for, but quite a few more need to be brought in, and fast, to turn us into a side of possible note. Loans can take time, yes, but that isn't the market i thought we were too heavily looking to dip into. Need some lasting firepower, a winger or two to give us a chance or two and certainly a centrehalf to challenge Greer and Dunk for a place. Maybe we're waiting for a couple of the unwanteds to go too, but i'm hoping this week will make a difference for ins, in particular, and outs.

Who are the 3 teams that you can confidently predict that will finish below us, and why are you so confident these better players are on their way here? The majority of media surrounding Marshall suggests he's staying up North.

And that's the crux of the matter, we have nobody to give him the chances. No wingers, no creativity, no chance.

Wouldn't be so sure the way this window is plodding along.

Really? The three teams worse than us last season got relegated. We won't be that lucky again. The club needs to get its ass in gear.
I expect us to be shire horses-plodding and laborious.

Taken at face value, these comments from Hughton are cliché responses answering obligatory questions about what is essentially a training match. But I can't help shake this feeling the comments are more cliché responses for the purpose of downplaying his disappointment that it's a second game in which we've failed to score, suggesting a worry we haven't addressed the goal scoring issues from last season.

Quality costs in all things, we've spent peanuts on a bunch of duffers that other sides weren't interested in extending their contracts, so they expired

Not seen such Bravery!
Please tell me that you have reliable inside info that Marshall is definitely signing, because I see no evidence that it is anywhere near certain.

Fence at present for me, but if we don't make some serious signings in the next two weeks, I suspect we are in for a repeat of last season. It's all very well saying pre-season games are just preparation run outs, but previous ones have shown how we will perform in the actual season: Crawley 2009-2010 we were appalling, losing 1-0 after a howler by Graeme Smith (wasn't that a sign of things to come?) and really struggled until Slade was sacked, and I then spent an afternoon before last season watching the game from Peterborough. They had just been relegated, but walked over us.

All I'm hoping for is to be entertained, unfortunately we have Chris Hughton in charge.
I can see us possibly finishing above Rotherham and maybe MK Dons but based on our current squad, it's going to be a real struggle to stay up.

Well, we're on a par with last season, and one better than the previous two season at this stage of the window (when we made the play offs remember). Although I haven't included loans on that.
