[St Charles Owl]

Aside from relegation I am not sure there is much we can do that will waste the season. We are a club going through a huge transition both on ans off the field and that is going to take time to begin to work properly. The committee have had a full transfer window to get the squad improved and while it is probably not quite there yet it is a million miles better than what we had last season!!! CC and the coaching staff are implementing a completely new system and they are doing that with 15 new players in the first team squad, so again that will take time and will involve some switching around of players to find the right combination.

For me there is so many positives that have come out of this summer that for now I will just enjoy the ride this season, one that will no doubt be very up and down, but if we are in the top 10 come January I would expect CC to open the check book and try to push us into the playoffs. If not then next summer could see us finally spend 10m on a striker to compliments the squad we now have and that will have gelled nicely by then.

Today has left us a striker down.

I'm amazed no-one has gone for signing Vydra or Rhodes this transfer window.

Vydra signed for Reading on loan, they paid 2m loan fee apparently to get him.

Having said that I thought I read that that deal for Vydra had gone through but it is not appearing on the official lists, so maybe he is still at Watford.

The deal for Vydra to go to Reading has just been announced, so now it is official.
