A week ago Page was talking about one more winger and another striker. Well Anderson's the winger and JJ Hooper the striker. These means 4 strikers to choose from :- Revell, Richards, Hooper and Hoskins and 4 wingers in Gorre, Potter, D'Ath and Anderson. The squad is plenty big enough, whether there is enough quality only time will tell. By January we may well see fringe players leaving Byrom, Potter, D'Ath maybe which will open the door to strengthening again. I think we have done well to only lose one regular first team player from a championship winning side, get in some key players like Gabriel Zakuani, Alex Revell and Matt Taylor and improve on the backup players. I think Page has made some doubtful signings but a lot of the players are young and we can only hope they will develop so long as everyone gives them a chance.

Agree there are some positives but an injury to Revell or Anderson and that pool of players to choose from looks very short on quality, particularly if Richards is likely to be unavailable for chunks of the season.

F Walden, you might as well tell us the name of the 34year old who is still on his way to Sixfields and the wage he was going to be paid. Nothing to hide now.

although very decent revel isn't going to score many goals , i cant see where the goals are going to come from or any player getting into double figures

unfortunately we now need jj hooper , who cant hit a barn door

Well...at least you gave Hooper a fair crack of the whip

Not good enough for me.

I'm with you, utterly underwhelmed.  Defensively we're probably OK, but I just don't see where the goals are going to come from. As for Andy Melville, it looks as if our signings have been largely opportunistic and I am struggling to understand what he's been doing all summer.

Interesting image floating around twitter of a conversation with KT saying we'd agreed a deal for Cox.

Fee and terms agreed with Orient and Dean Cox. He pulled out very late on, hence why the tweet saying no more business came so late.

Nathan Tyson. Same source who told me about Anderson earlier in the day. Despite his age I thought he'd do a job, certainly a better job than hoops!

A poor old show and not good enough to keep us in league one I'm afraid.
We've had months to address things and haven't got a good enough squad.
I'd actually argue its weaker than the one that gained promotion.
We are now miles behind the likes of Oxford who must be pissing themselves at our situation
Not good enough kelvin.

As a free agent are we not still able to sign him? Has the rule on free agents also changed?

Can Cox and Tyson no have their contracts paid up, then we sign them as free agents outside the window? Although by the sound of it, this is doubtful with Cox as we had agreed a transfer fee for him.

I find it hard to believe it's Kelvin, I think the problem is Page, I think money was likely there and Page just didn't get stuff done.

i have no idea if I'm honest. Genuinely surprised he is without a club. Still think he has a season in him at league one, at least two in L2. Perhaps Page thought it was too much to have 3 forwards on the books with ages of 33 & 34.

Tyson is out of contract I think, possibly focused our attention elsewhere today as free agents can be signed whenever. Not sure how good he be these days though, all he really has was his pace.

We're all just guessing though aren't we, there are loads of reasons transfers don't happen

Who employed page as the new messiah.
The honeymoon is over for KT as far as I'm concerned.
You've delivered a squad to get us relegated back to league two,now let's see if you can actually get the east stand finished.

Its funny how small margins can make such a big difference, you feel had cox plus a quick forward been added we may even have a squad capable of a play off push. With what we have and have added, it really is going to be a battle to stop up. My biggest issue is as others have said its been bloody obvious since pre season what we are missing and nothing has been done to address it!!

Melville needs sacking in the morning, what the hell has this bloke done?. The cox deal should have been completed long before now and as for the lack of pace up top!!

Revell gets injured on Sunday we are royally screwed!

Well what an anti-climax.
A squad that is hardly an improvement on last season, in a virtual-reality world ...which team would win, mmmm.

This is going to be a curious 6 months.
Like many others, I just can't see where the goals are coming from.

If we get injuries and suspensions, as we will, then we are in big trouble.

Sundays game is even more massive......a barometer for the future. Lose and other results go against us and we are already in a relegation struggle-zone.
Do we have the power to get out of it.....or are the treble chance bankers of L!.
We haven't won a game yet and when will we Huh?.....we've already passed up some bankable 3-pointers.

I'd guess Orient were only willing to let Cox go today so that one was out of our hands largely from the sound of it.

Window shut now until January, let's see where we are then, all we can do
