Nice new paint job.
The white was starting to fade a bit.

Not got a good feeling about this one! We have so many injuries especially in defence. Not sure if the loan players will be available if not, we might be struggling to field a decent side.

We have signed two, yes two, young keepers, from QPR as Mark Smith departs. I understand Smith didn’t want to be cup tied unless the club was prepared to offer a longer term deal. With Julian still out for an unknown period looks like we have three loanees in the back five for the foreseeable.

Hopefully I am wrong but not offering Smith might turn our to be a bad decision if Julian is out for a long time. He is in his late 30s and injuries take that much longer to clear up.
As Tony mentioned a defence made up of young loanees for a foreseeable future could place us in a relegation position.

First keeper.

The other keeper has been on loan at Uxbridge, he might be cup tied?

I didn’t say that would place us in a relegation position! So far been impressed by Davis and Vincent had a good game on Tuesday. The trouble as we know is the constant chopping and changing that comes with loanees. Davis I understand is with us for 3 months but Vincent one. Shroll like his last time with us seems to spend most of the time injured. We are deliberately running with a smaller squad but have four key players out - Fernandez, Barzey, Julian and Inman - plus Shroll. Assuming everyone is on a contract it is a cheaper option to bring in loanees. We can’t really give both Smith and Julian contracts given their experience and seniority. Makes sense to bridge to Julian returning to fitness although I have no idea how long that might be.

Didn’t play in either of their cup games. Whether QPR want him cup tied is another question.

Hope they're as good as our last loanee keeper from QPR!

Some of our signings do seem a bit muddled at times. Didn't we sign a keeper in pre-season and sent him out on loan? Keepers are like busses at Hampton...

Ironically he’s cup tied.
