Was disappointed there weren't any trialists in the squad last night especially considering we've not signed a right back this summer.

Tumilty was rumoured, Hamilton announced him as leaving and have now announced him signing a new two year deal which is a bit strange.

Very early days and we can only speculate on x y & z. First season I can remember that we’ve not had one or two trialists for the first two or three games. Guessing it could be that McGlynn is happy with what’s in place and maybe one or two players/signings in place ready to be announced. On the flip side has he identified players who have received better offers and turned us down ? If you look at last nights squad numbers it more than likely that maybe at least two still here will need to move on to allow for new signings ?

Time for my annual club website moan. Went on to check when the home league cup games are and they are no where to be seen. No news article with the fixtures, and the fixtures and results page hasn’t been updated since the 18th April. When we employ to media officers why can’t we get the basics right?

Wonder if the socks we were wearing last night indicate we are getting a white or yellow away strip with navy shorts and socks 🤔

I believe it will look like this, just going off the old jerseys they showed in the New Legends video the club released a few weeks back

They are releasing a limited edition 3rd strip which might not be far away from this.

We won’t be in contention for the league, we were pish in a bounce game last night.

Don’t think anyone is saying that but equally the idea that you will play poorly all pre season and magically turn up all firing on the first day of the season is delusional.

Some positives to take from yesterday (particularly the young guys) but equally we had the same issues from the same players who let us down last season.

With word coming out of the club that there are no current plans to recruit a rb as the budget has gone, we will need to see an improvement from the current squad.

Have you read something I haven’t? If you are being factual and not just speculating would you care to share where you’ve seen this as it contradicts what we were told regarding squad size, the last communication the club gave regarding this season was a squad of 22 senior players supplemented by 6 apprentices with the overall playing budget expected to be broadly similar to that of last season give or take a bit pending season ticket sales and FSS membership.

We also seem to be disregarding the loan market, and forgetting that might have a big part to play which, whether we like it or not, is where we have the potential to get our best players from. Plenty of time for that.

The figure given was actually 20-22 and we’re currently at 19 so not far off what was budgeted, particularly if some if some of the new signings were given improved offers than originally envisaged.

Who from the club has confirmed we aren’t signing a right back ? I’ve totally missed that tbh.

Fullback is a specialist and key position in modern football and I would be absolutely stunned if we haven’t signed a right back in time for the first league game.

Perhaps have to offload before we can bring anybody else in?

You said we weren’t signing a right back as the “budget was gone”  If this is the case i’ve missed that communication from the club so where did you see it? Or are you in fact as I suspect just speculating/shit stirring?  As you’ve just pointed out the senior squad was to be 20-22 players so at a squad of 19 we’d expect a minimum of at least one more incoming player and that’s presuming there are zero outgoing players, taking all that into account I’d be happy to wager we will indeed see at least one more player brought in, actually I’d even suggest it’s more likely we’ll see 2 or maybe even 3 incoming before the window closes, there will also probably be at least one leaving us.
