This was the most sedate (boring) transfer deadline day for county ever. And that's a good thing. looking at twitter yesterday and fans of other clubs all panicking because they needed x position and managers probably all trying hard to get someone but ending up with a panic deal. Meanwhile challinor and Wilson were both at home with a cup of tea relaxed and our fans weren't begging for a signing.

This is certainly an exciting time to be a County fan. I am sure that this summers final transfer window passing without any additions didn’t really matter to us. I won’t lie, but l was hoping that we might add to cover for any future injuries, as at the moment apart from RWB where Mingi and Fevrier can cover and up front, hopefully Wootton and Olaofe will stay fit as Stretts and Mellon are back soon, there wasn’t anywhere else that we needed. We now have 12 currently out with many returning in the next month or two, so hopefully no concerns now as we have players we can utilise in many ways. Just hoping now that our injury concerns are over and we can continue to build on the momentum created already. I am sure we will make additions in the January window as well as in the meantime extending some contracts for players out of contract next summer. What an exciting time for every County fan!!!

Kudos to the management team. Our previous pre-season had been hampered by being in the POs I suspect. Of course, with each year that goes by the backroom staff will be moving up the learning curve as well.

Get Mingi and Bate back not long after the break. Fiorini, Mellon, Connolly and Adaramola four new additions who we haven't even seen yet to make the squad even better and stronger.

That bench is going to have some firepower on it. When (if !) we get a near full squad available is when Challinor will really earn his money. Some real tough choices to be made.

I’d be genuinely shocked if we’re not a lot stronger at the end of September than we were at the end of August. It’s all about timing for this squad. The boys currently fit have given us 6 or 7 points more than we normally have at this stage of the season. Start believing. It’s the first step to it actually happening 😉

It’s the first step to it actually happening 😉 Sounds a stupid statement but it could work against us with everyone being back if we push players back into the side who might have been first choices if they were available. At the moment our square pegs are all in the correct holes and we are playing as a team. Others who come in could upset the balance.

Players will be eased back in and no doubt some of those playing regularly will get injured so Chally will be forced into some changes.

Focusing on the Crawley game already. Looking forward to hopefully seeing some encouraging training photos a couple of days before 🤞🏻
Maybe a team photo too?

And Full of Fit Players 👍🏻 (well almost) Let's hope so. Let's also hope that the club manage to fix whatever (whoever?) keeps breaking our players. The current system isn't sustainable long-term
