As many have already touched on, we’re all sceptical after the shite we’ve been through as fans and rightly so.  

To be fair, Man City fans are still sceptical after 4 Prems on the bounce, so I think we are taking a fairly measured approach.

Rotherham have signed 3 players already 

Carlisle did the same last season and plenty on here weren’t happy we hadn’t done the same. Didn’t work out too well for them. 

JCH, Joe Rafferty and Shaun McWilliams are all experienced players who have played to a higher level than our squad last season. Rotherham making good early moves, unsurprisingly with Evans in charge

All decent league one signings, but none that I'm disappointed we didn't get. 

Not a dig at you but I read a lot of similar comments last summer about the Pompey business, along the lines of them going so early they were mopping up average players and not waiting for the better ones than apparently appear later in the window.

This is a good point and in all honestly, last year I was sceptical of Portsmouth’s business. But what it showed was that in league one you need a solid team of committed professionals who you can rely on week in, week out and then add a couple of X factor players to make that difference and win you the games.

All of those signings would have had us content but equally not going to cry about missing them.

Would be nice for us to get 1 or 2 in early to help Jones sell the project.

There is a reason why the top 3 teams in the league all have a 1 by their name for managers used and are all in the top 6 for least players used.

This is what we must be aspiring to next year, not the basket case stats at the top of this table.

Jesus, did we really use 42 players last season? That's incredible.

Rotherham are an outlier, but it is very early still.

Pompey last summer did their business early, but their 1st signings weren't announced until the 14th June. 
3 summers ago when Ipswich splashed the cash (under Paul Cook) their 1st signing was on the 3rd June.

Rotherham are doing what they always do, get relegated have a clear out, bring in a load of free transfers who have been redeemed not good enough by other teams or players looking for a last payday.. They go back up but the players are not good enough for the championship so they come straight back down and the circle starts again.…. Personally would build a side that will hold its own in the championship if that takes another season then so be it don't want to be a yo-yo club like Rotherham

9 games last season and hasn’t played much football in his career.

Not exactly who I was hoping would come in as number 1

I read it as bringing in an experienced number 1 but Mannion to push the number 1 and get rid of the other 2.

I said a page or two back we have to start looking at players that other, more attractive clubs aren’t.

It means that any name that comes out (Edwards from Dunfermline and Mannion from Cambridge) is going to feel underwhelming.

Will wait to see how they perform in a Charlton shirt before passing any judgements.
