Final Pre-Season Moan-up

What a boring, frustrating and kind of depressing pre-season.

We've added a bit of steel to the midfield and swapped left-backs but that's about it. Where are the good players who'll win us matches?

I look down the squad list and can't see one midfielder who looks capable of getting on the ball and creating or scoring goals consistently. We have a couple of strikers who could do well but both have question marks against them too.

Anyway, I'm sounding like a broken record I know so I'll stop now. Just very disappointed that the first time we start a season with no debts in about 10 years and the squad is decimated and the manager doesn't seem to have a clue when it comes to identifying players.

I know he annoys the hell out of me too

Well it seems he can identify players who are Strong, bullish, no nonsense but yeah, it makes me wonder if he has an eye for good young players coming through

Give 'em all a break. We have been operating without a good scouting system for years and that problem has only recently been addressed. Teething problems right now, but by the time the january window comes round, there'll be great winds of change down at Hillsborough! Let's just hope we're in contention for, at least, the play-offs by then!

Yep, with you on that true blue, wasnt exactly slaggin Meggy off, all im saying is that its easier for managers to spot more established players, but are harder to get. But the scouts come in when Meggy wants them to find a hidden Gem or a promising Premiership player or a hidden gem playing in non league. Nah I think Meggys doin a great job in terms of getting the right players in and not just any player. Just a shame we havent been able to get in a couple more players brfore the season starts.

You're not slagging him off Milan, but there are always loads of wolves hanging around our board just waiting in the shadows ready to pounce! I just hope Meggo does manage a last minute scoop or two so we can clear the way for a great opener tomorrow. Start as we mean to go on.......and that means a win

Blades signed that Mendez-Laing who was on loan at Posh last season. Obviously panicking with rushed loan signings eh..

Taut, I think that is a good move by didwell, but he's still got a few to shift off the books before he can make a serious impact on that squad.
