We’ve made all our signings that just not announced too closely together. Believe Coppin is one of them.

I hope there is more to come for attacking signings. With Haigh moving in, we don’t really have a “talisman” as it stands. Someone who will change a match from midfield, or a striker who is guaranteed to hit 20+ goals. You need one if you want to win a league.
I’d still like to move on a Dieng or Marsh too. It’s a good squad that we have built, but even with Allinson I’m not sure if it is strong enough to win the league so far.

I agree that we need a 20 goal striker to possibly win the league. Also until we start playing games it is very difficult to assess how good a team we actually have, and looking at Chelmsford and Ebbsfleet and the squads they are building they also look very strong.

Finally a real left back signed in Liam Vincent. Thought Sutton would be keeping him.

He sounds promising, 23 years old with lots of experience in this division who can also score goals.

Pretty much all the players signed have been young, energetic and score goals.
Vincent’s a great signing

Jet Dyer is a Dagger. A 21 year old left sided central defender.

Confirmation of a 20 goal a season striker being signed would be a huge boost of confidence that we mean business this season in getting promotion.

A very interesting interview with the manager on X. He says he is hoping for 3 or 4 more signings through the door and also that a couple of players are likely to be moved on. I do like his positivity when interviewed.

I expect Panter and Howes to go, one way or another.
I would hope we're going to bring in more wide players. I'm also not convinced about the striker options so far, Carroll great when fit but who knows how often that will be, Leech still learning, Rodari one that could go either way I think, has scored goals previously but had bad injuries.

I’d like to see Howes stay as I’m a bit worried about Ashmore’s age. If Panter leaves then so be it. The biggest issue still is moving on at least one of the clowns in midfield, as they will also be sucking up a huge chunk of wages

Noah Coppin is a player who can score goals from midfield or upfront, a great signing.

I would say Howes, Marsh and Dieng are favourites to go.
