    Don't get me wrong, you're as entitled as anyone to an opinion ...

    ... but aren't you basing that opinion on the absence of information.

    Fair enough. Decent read and for me, my patience is back. Wait for the right player at the right price for the good of the club.

    Yep - stick to the plan and hold our nerve is the message there. Or piss some cash up the wall for a few quick wins in the short term which could damage the longer term. Im happy to stick with the plan.

    Are you saying that the voices in his head don't count?

    Much as most of our fans. Because there is no news, there must be nothing happening!

    Whatever Speakman says, I still think it’s pathetic not having a single first team full back on our books with 5 days until the season starts.

    Pathetic is a strong word.

    Full backs are one of the most important positions in the team. Stands to reason that we need to take the utmost care with them.

    As frustrating as it is.

    Winchester has played full back, for us and other teams, so not even true. You could say O'Nien is a full back if you choose, he's played there for us. It's not like we're short of midfield players.

    Ha'way SAFC, get the scalf picture up. The lass advertising the home kits is very nice, but I'm getting sick of seeing her every time I check the page now.

    Would you not rather we took our time to get the players we actually want though, instead of buying anyone who’s available?

    It’s not ideal being without a recognised full back but we have time to do it.

    Any idea what the hold up is announcing it is? I genuinely can't think of a reason for a delay in announcing it.

    It’s a bit poor not to have any fullbacks but if the choice was wait for quality or take a Connor McLaughlin or McFanny I’d wait.

    Think this is exactly the point. Wait for the right one or sign whatever’s out there. It appears that those who think things are so bad would rather we signed another McFadzean or Gareth Hall!!

    Oh definitely, it’s just frustrating. My biggest worry is we start the season poorly and drop points.

    Ah… so now it’s “frustrating” yet before it was “pathetic”. Makes sense

    Honestly don't know I thought it was going to be Saturday, but for some reason we haven't been announcing them straight away, Doyle and evans had been training a few days before we announced them, just hoping what I was told was right and he's done,

    I’m sorry! I know that sort of language should never be used on this forum! Particularly from a mod
