Always a bit of extra excitement when the fixtures get announced. Tough start to the season for us.
Slightly concerned we’re just over 3 weeks away from the season starting, yet haven’t made a single signing yet. We don’t actually have a full defence to start a game!
Casilla, Douglas, Cooper, Ayling, Dallas...?
Can’t afford to gift points to opponents in a league like this! Need to hurry up with the signings.
3 weeks to go

Surprised we’re leaving it so late to do business

I know people don't want to hear excuses, but it's this messed up season. Transfer window will be a really slow one for all clubs.

Probably has something to do with it being open until 5th October. That's about 6 games or so in. Most sides will be content with the squads they have already I suppose.

I can see Michael Oliverpool being given your first game, to ensure the Dippers get off to a winning start.

Phillips is an injury doubt according to PH. Touch and go to play in opening game

Agree with Best. We all know Mb by now.
So, if KP's out, Struijk in?

It won't be a cricket score. Will be an exciting game and I look forward to the challenge.
The only possible addition to that side is White. The rest will probably start regardless of signings and they will be fine. I expect all to be better players than last season with the exception of Pablo.
Only change I can realistically see is Pablo on the bench for Shackleton in the middle against Liverpool. I think it is something we will probably do more often, especially against the better sides.

Slightly unrelated, what’s fa rule R20 - says on official site we breached it against Derby?

Failing to keep players and staff under control.
Over exuberant celebration and use of pyrotechnics.

Thanks Stoopo, it goes with the territory!!!

Hopefully we get a White deal over the line. It's the only way we start without a makeshift defence.
£25m is a decent fee. I know Brighton are asking double that - perhaps they have a pair of Bens for that price?
