Really excellent business from the club so far. Looking at the numbers (Im a nerd, let me be). Burge's performances in the 20/21 season were the 7th best of any keeper in L1/L2 in the last 2 years (Roberts slots in at 3 last year). Prior to that he seemed to be a lot more average but hopefully that improvement is here to stay! Does not look quite as secure as Roberts at keeping hold of the ball but I have no doubt we will be able to help him improve.
Handing out 2 year deals to all the new signings, its clear that Brady is getting backed. What remained of last seasons squad was still strong despite lacking in numbers. Outside of Hylton who is clearly proven quality all the others are approaching the peak of their careers. Wouldnt be shocked as we continue to get bodies in to see the odd wildcard added. A bit like when we brought in Concrete Rod and Hoskins in the Wilder summer as trialists, younger players who turned out to contribute valuably that season.
Im normally a bit glass half full when it comes to expectation and there is still loads of recruitment to be done, but im feeling very positive about the upcoming season.
