Re: How can we attract new players/signings?
With a World Cup tournament looming there will be players currently on the fringes of top teams desperately wanting more game time.. the loan market may be our best chance of a short term fix.

Yesterday was a huge disappointment.
Brighton are one of the teams we should be taking points from and it just makes games against top ten teams so much more important.
We're fashionably slow starters so hopefully this season we get in the groove quickly and pick up some morale boosting points.
