So we lost 2-0 but the trialists got a decent run out and a rule run over them….doesn’t sound promising, but it is early doors
If the budget is down by a quarter, then that is a very significant hit. We’ve also signed players like Close, Knoyle, Rowe and Williams who will be on good League One money and we’ve given a long new deal to Taylor. He has invested in a good XI. He will struggle to keep up the quality outside that XI given the reduction in his budget.
So we’ve a significant budget increase with high earners leaving yet we can’t get players in????? Yet again points to no rhyme or reason, quite clearly no increase and a desperate attempt to sell season tickets

All the information in the news is there to read.This year start building with not so great budget with covid tax, player defer to pay backNext year back to a decent budget and away we go.Anything above mid table would be a bonus this year.Our actual 11 pre new covid issue looks OK but only OK.Add next year 5 or 6 quality again and we will be strong. Fingers crossed RW has us playing some sweet football by then.
Makess no difference how many RW maybe going for quality more wages per player not everything is so simple.Things will change day in day out dependant on who and what is available, nowhere does it say we had 18 last year so we want 18 now, it says the budget is 25%, how the hell do you get numbers from that. Why can't we do it with loans? They cost plenty too. I really don't get your point at all. RW will decide how many and what quality. Nothing to do with what we had last year.
Ravenhill and Hasani now on. Doesn't say much for them if all these emergency triallists are getting a game in front of them.

Fingers crossed RW has us playing some sweet football by then.So what happens when other clubs come in and take all our best performers, as they do every season?As I've said before, you cannot plan for the season after the next one. It all has to be about the season in front of you.What do you think the attendances will be like if we're in the bottom half of the table at Christmas, and looking unable to compete successfully with those in the top half? Which then impacts on what the budget will be for the following season.

Nothing to do with what we had last year.I did say loans and I’m only saying what RW as said we require. DM had a budget which was 23% less than normal last season. Yet he put together a first team squad of 14 permanent players (including Williams). He added to that 5 loans for the start of the season. At this moment of time with a budget bigger than last season RW has 12 permanent players and 1 loan in his first team squad. 2 of those are injured at the moment but hope they’ll be ready for when season starts. As I said before he has 4 loans to add to that. So he should have room if Williams leaves to add another two permanent players which will be comparable to last season. Like last season we have younger players under them who have to prove they are better than any of the Trialist but we don’t have any attacking young players.Note out of all the Trialists and young lads that played yesterday only one stood out and he only joined the squad on Friday. The rest failed to reach the level RW required hard on some as they weren’t with us long. But the young lads and some others have.
I make 13 from that list and that includes Smith (loanee)! Nowhere near a good enough squad depth for this league.We have another loanee secured, who is a forward player, but with no prior league experience.I’m finding it extremely difficult to equate the numbers we have against (what is supposed to be) a bigger budget than last season. And, we’re now having to ship players out before we can get anyone else in. Unbelievable, Jeff.Does the budget need adjusting?
