And the pre-season is over. Although I don't believe in the significance of pre-season, I have one overriding concern.
Goals, or lack thereof. Where will they come from?
This is the team I think KH will pick on Saturday, but again I don't know where the goals will come from.

Yup...we've never replaced Big Dave...Fear that if we signed Sonko some of our more "enlightened" fans will be quick to abuse...

My, my sparts. Surely you're not insinuating that the 'R' word is rife amongst our faithful brethren? You should be here with the yokels on Portreath beach...

Brighton, I think the point you make about Foster, McNulty and Edwards being all very similar is a very valid one. Last season it seemed to me that whatever central pairing we put out they were no better or worse than the other alternative pairing but, generally, coming up a bit short of what you'd hope for at Championship level.
One example, in the New Year game at Donny McNulty was favourite for a through ball but gets muscelled off it way too easily by Sharp and the game's virtually gone.
Hopefully, Sonko or someone similar will help us inject a bit more physical presence and variation at the back.

The exact same thing happened to McNulty against Ipswich at Portman Road. Their striker, who wasn't exactly huge, just brushed him off the ball and went on to score. Hopefully he's attempted to bulk up a bit because I do genuinely think he's a decent defender and can pass it around a bit, he's just missing a bit of strength. I still think Sonko would be a good addition though.

That line up screams mid-table league 1 to me
