I think this season, i'm not going to predict how many points we should/could/will claim in the opening games. I want to try avoid any potential disappointment It would be great if we could pick up a couple of wins in our opening games. Hopefully having hartley (a winner) in the team as el Capitano will hopefully inspire the rest of the team to find their winning mentality.

Off out tonight to meet some of the expatriated Rob Roy Reds, then off to the Brighton game tomorrow. Not looking forward to going to work on Sunday though Still, roll on 6:30

As has been said in another thread, I am hoping that it is Mackie that gets punted on loan. He'll claim the largest wage out of all of them. Thats my logic anyway, guess we'll have to wait and see.

Surely thats wishful thinking. I wouldn't have thought that McGhee would let one of his own signings go out on loan? I don't know about anyone else, but i'm starting to feel positive about AFC again. Things seem to be moving in the right direction. Finally.

I read that on the BBC gossip this morning as well Who the hell thought that was a good idea in the first place

All sounds very good, please let it come to fruition!

You managing to watch it on one of the special sites FJ?

I see Motherwell drew 1-1 earlier today. Not a bad result.

To be fair, its amazing that they seem to find the money when they REALLY need to. They'd probably be able to avoid random splashes of cash if they invested more wisely. But hey ho, onwards and upwards.

I'd say it would be seen as a successful transfer window. But we still need a left back. Hopefully the club can sort it out sooner rather than later. It would give the fans/players/club some much needed confidence! They seem to have dealt quite well with the transfers this summer. Keep it up AFC

No quotes, no nothing. Surprise surprise.

It's a shame, because I thought he might turn into a solid player, but he doesn't look like he has it in him. Confidence seems to be completely shot everytime he plays and worringly short of awareness. Not exactly great attributes for a defender.

Agreed, Consi at Left Back, is not an option imo. We need a natural left back, otherwise, i'd rather have Foster there than Considine.

Watched that too bobby. The guys were absolute nutters. I was suprised the guy who fell had so few serious injuries, although i suppose he was still too injured to jump again. Still. Lucky to escape death! Been chatting to my housemate about that, she got all excited because she thought there was a new one, but it was just bt announcing they've got sport lol.

Fingers crossed its not all used up. We still need a left back.

And where the hell is your Cherry Bakewell!

Thats enough Greggs to last a lifetime!

Having not seen him play, was he really worth it? I hope he decides to accept the deal and he's our double signing today that BB was talking about.

This is correct. Hopefully he'll bring a bit of professionalism back to the squad.

Phew. Welcome aboard!

I was going to post something similar to that which was on the SSN website. Seemed a little more unsure than in any of the other interviews/reports that I'd read.

Don't know what you're talking about

Right, if that article was correct when the fuck is he being unveiled. Would have thought the club would have announced a press conference or something if the deal had gone through.

Exactly, there are no quotes in that article. Though it does give me hope. Will they find a broom cupboard at Loughborough Uni?

Hopefully we'll see something positive today. I was hoping to wake up to the news that he'd signed
