I am expecting we will get a striker in, but even if they are half-decent, it is highly optimistic to expect they’ll click from the off. If it’s some wet behind the ears kid on loan from a Championship side, we will struggle. There don’t seem to be any indicators from the friendlies to date that the midfield will be more prolific either.
It concerns me that the cover we have at goalkeeper and right-back is inadequate, according to those reporting from the pre-season games on here. While the latter is unlikely to be a long-standing absence, Davies apparently will be unfit for a while.
Most of the sides in L2 will already have L2 level playing staff, whereas our squad was operating at a lower level last season. Hence inevitable that we will need to do more recruiting than those teams already in place.
