The new signings

I do wonder if the limited activity in January was because we didn't want more contracts on the books ahead of the fairly comprehensive clear out this summer, which has in turn allowed us to focus upon a better standard of player. The short term contract/loan for the fullbacks we've signed would also indicate that we're trying to keep the squad more agile and flexible year-to-year, but we're also going to continue to try to secure young talented players such as Cleary and Kelly long term, in the same way we did with Connell and Phillips. It's certainly been a good window so far, if we can get a solid CB and CF I'd be really pleased. I think predictions we'd struggle this year are way off the mark.

 

For 2 years at home we've played the ball across the backline going nowhere giving teams time to reorganise their defence. That is not happening under Connor. (And you could see that developing even in the friendlies) Which sets em off guard. And these wide players we've brought in, torment the backline pulling em all over the place. Good to see.
