By the same logic, I'd argue that this is a reason why we can't afford to run with a group of project signings. Maybe one at a time, however we seem to have several deemed not to be ready after months rather than weeks. Robbo himself has reportedly said no more project signings. We went through this last season in first 4 months with players signed and never utilised, we were struggling until Phillips found his form and fitness, Declan John's arrival & Alebiosu giving us much-needed options down the right.
As for the striker part of my post, lowest scorers in the league so far, even worse than those below us and we are not getting better. Who knows, we might have that at least partially rectified by tomorrow and maybe one or two of the summer signings will come good. We came through it last season and maybe it is not too late to do that this season. 5 points from the next six and progress in the cup will have us all cheerful again.
