Does Reed play in the same position as Dobson? If so, although I wouldn't argue about needing more depth in that position equally I wouldn't have seen it as a priority given the gaping holes elsewhere in the squad. Hopefully, we'l bring in enough quality elsewhere for that not to matter.

Yes he does, if we play the same system Swindon played last season. You can't dictate what order you sign players in.
My 7 is assuming others go from what we have left. Personally think we need 10.
TS said 8/9 with 5 perms
He didn't, he actually said
"I would expect somewhere between two to four, maybe five, major signings"
But understanding words like expect and maybe isn't your strength is it.
“I would expect somewhere between two to four, maybe five, major signings. Then on the loan side, still be in the situation where we’ll probably be trying to fill it up with fairly inexpensive but high-quality loan players.
“Maybe six [loans]. That’s one too many, but it gives us a chance to reshuffle a bit.

Possibly the hope/intention is that if Reed has the destroyer role then maybe Dobson can be given a new, more advanced role. He's not bad at picking passes and scored a worldy against (I think) Walsall?
Maybe they want to try him further forward and Reed is there to cover the DM role.

So 4 maybe 5 ( even 3 ) plus 6 loans =

So 4 maybe 5 ( even 3 ) plus 6 loans does not equal 8/9 does it?
You really need to try harder. It's like arguing with a pigeon.

If we only sign 7 players (including loanees) then I'll be throwing in the towel.
How many players do you think a L1 club should have??
If my maths are right I think 14 players have departed since last season finished.
Henderson will be replaced by Maynard Brewer returning.
Watson will be replaced with a fully fit Foster Caskey.
Castillo and John don't need replacing as they were hardly ever used.
So I reckon we need the following.
2 left backs 2 right backs 2 centre halfs 2 attacking midfielders 2 strikers.
So ideally ten to come in.
And on this blessed day a bloody big Ark shall float down the Thames to the Promised land of the Valley where they will be welcomed as kings until they under perform and the masses shall rise up and proclaim "your not fit to wear the robes"

I think you missed a “verily” and a couple of “yea”s.

1 x GK
2 x LCB
2 x LB
2 x CM
1 x RW
1 x ST
So that’s 10 players, realistically we will probably sign 7 or 8 unless we can move a few on

The cap was decreased by 1.
Burstow, John and Castillo didn't count.
Famewo, Lee and Leko are replaced by Davison, Kirk and Morgan (who is now over age).
We released 6. Which means 5 takes us back to the cap.
Of course you can have unlimited u21s.
Maybe they want to try him further forward and Reed is there to cover the DM role.

So it's actually 6 not 5, I do feel a bit silly now 😜
That's harsh on pigeons mate.
