Have we done the same with Jones as we did with McGrandles? Signed someone recovering from a "minor" injury, ha e them miss a big chunk of pre season and put them behind the curve from the off?
Dobson down with an injury from a Dartford tackle?
Is he okay to continue?
Need to reconsider these Non-League games, if players are going to start taking them more seriously - Yet cant blame the players too, if they're desperate to show they deserve a Contract.

Yes he's continued. But he stayed down for a bit there. It was quite concerning.
Anderson really puts himself about going forward. I quite like the look of him. Still very raw, but I expect we'll start seeing him in cup games, and possibly a non league loan depending in how that goes.
Looks a bit of a unit as well. Can't be taller than 6' but is well built. Always helpful for a youngster breaking into the first team, although sometimes those types of players are able to dominate youth football because of their physicality, and then have a rude awakening in senior football.
12 of this 23 are inexperienced youth teamers. Shows how weak the squad still is.
I'm expecting several more signings and we've got Jones, May, Thomas and Leaburn to come in too. We must have signed double figures every summer for years.

We'll get about 3-4 loans in no doubt... Easy squad filler
Deji has definitely improved in possession from this time last season. He looks far more comfortable on the ball, and he's looking to get forward, which is something Holden seems to want from the outside CBs.
Deji has the physical attributes, and he looks like he's filled out a bit. I suspect that his ability in possession (or lack thereof) is why Garner sent him out on loan so early in preseason last year.
Early signs for this year are good. He's picked out a couple of decent long balls.

Naturally of course the squad is still weak ...... we're short on numbers.
They'll still be some current players to be moved on and replacements brought in. Plus of course, the 5 loanees - of which we haven't even signed one yet.
Many other League One clubs are in the same position, which as we know is pretty normal for this stage of pre-season.
