I have seen three of the four pre season games apart from the Orient debacle. We have to remember this is an entirely new squad. Most clubs keep at 7 or 8 of their squad from the previous campaign...we kept none! That is not a criticism but a fact. It's going to take a couple of months before we see what this group can do, some of them will make the step up and some won't. Pre season is as much about who is not up to it as much as it is about those that can make the step up. If that means more adjustments to the squad then so be it.
I am concerned about us defensively so far and my main concern is that we don't appear to be learning from our mistakes. We look like a very small team physically and I fear we will get bullied in some games...
That's why we all need some patience. Let's stop the bleeding of recent seasons, get behind the management team and the players and stick with them if things aren't perfect at the start of the season,
Up the Wings!

Wish we had a like button as well said Gavin. I feel they will gel but I dont expect a miracle to happen overnight. Remember back just over a decade when we were rubbish pre season then went on to set a NLS record and won the league.

We also need to accept that some of the players will not be identified as not good enough. Therefore there is going to be some player movement. That doesn't mean that it will be a revolving door policy as, with a whole new squad, there will be 'hits' and 'misses' as David Jacobs might have said.
