Absolute garbage. Simple as that. This squad is offering nothing for me…..

Squad mirrors the manager.

Haven’t really seen anything from him yet but surely you can’t play 100 games in League 2 and be crap in the NL?
Hopefully we just haven’t seen the best of him and he proves us all wrong with a full pre-season under his belt and a permanent home.

Plenty of wide options without involving Smith, give him a go in centre mid, he was reportedly playing there for Hamilton before he arrived and he certainly hasn’t had a great start since returning playing out wide.
Smith may become the attacking CM we need ?. Only Beestin with any attacking intent in CM at the moment.

Much the same as Ogle coming back dont get this Hurst move either..
Reasonably happy with Brennon , Howe n Richards signings but look lightweight up front AND without the Roberts effect last season and the recurring injuries to DW was hoping for something other than Hurst.
Cant see anymore signings except MAYBE A trialist and later loans but will have to wait for PD to offer his “inner circle” titbits prior to anything happening.

There is someone on the books whose form will surely decide what kind of season we’ll be having.
Of course it’s Smith. All regular fans have seen what this awesome player can do.
Who wasn’t delighted to see his return?
Who wasn’t heartbroken to see a player of his calibre struggling?
I’m being optimistic by saying that I truly expect training will get him back on track.
If I’m wrong – for only the second time in many a year on this board – I’d be recommending ‘a sports shrink.’4 users thanked author for this post.
If you look at his league (not non league like half of our players) appearances and goals there is definitely a good player in Hurst. Personally I think he’s a good signing bearing in mind our lack of finances.

maybe that’s AB’s new striker option, which he tried at the start of our promotion winning season from NLN, certainly saves money
Saves money ?. All that means is we need a central midfielder to replace him, so it doesn’t save anything really. We need a natural striker through the doors. Beestin does quite well up there, but he’s best is in his natural position. We 100% need a fit and firing Beestin in CM.
I thought we looked more of a threat and had better balance in there last season when Beestin played but he kept picking Westbrooke.
I understand the signing of Hurst too. Good age, got decent pedigree and can play both wings. Looked sub par last season, but did arrive off the back of an injury at Darlington and came rusty. Only on a 1yr contract so not much risk there.
