    I think its a million miles away from what we were probably expecting 6 weeks ago. A couple of new signings coming in possibly, some of the old stuff going out. Quite a turn around in the optimism level.

    And a decent manager in charge

    Let's be honest, we could have been as organised as we wanted last season, as soon as Micky Cliché was announced our season was only going to go one way. At least this time we have a manager who seems to know what he 's doing.

    It’s a much more organised approach than 12 months ago. It’s not revolutionary- it’s getting the foundations and basics right, but it’s key.

    4-5 Out, 5-6 of the right quality in, and it could be a really good and enjoyable season.

    He will be up a tree as it's not raining as yet.

    He's got his Mack on and ready to go.

    Tom Clare? I thought we released him? He plays for Boston FC.

    I assume Thomas Gadd will have more on the City website as he was taking pictures, maybe you guys can spot the new players or any trainees.

    So only Drury left from the clusterfxxk of last season. Given the ins and outs GB must rate the guy for him to remain as his no 2. Won’t have been easy for Drury last year so let’s hope for all our sakes and his in particular next year is a positive one

    With the exception of a couple more potential signings and maybe one or two departures I’d say the squad we have now is what we’re using this season. Makes a nice change to have a full pre season too work on the team and tactics without question marks over last minute signings and staff changes etc.

    I don’t know much about most of the players we’ve signed but at least we’ve approached this season in a far more organised and professional manner than last season (not saying much) and the signings have tried to address the major weaknesses we had in the squad, notably the tinpot defence and toothless strikeforce.

    I am properly impressed by the comms from the club, the organisation, the final touches and the attention to detail. Im getting excited again about the club.

    Hopefully a double barrelled name or two and a random African or South American will be in the mix.

    A few pics of pre season training from the club Twitter account. I don’t recognise half of the players!
