Really enjoyed this, thanks lads. Feeling really positive about Mullins now. I sense we’re going to see a lot of diving on Tuesday! (And yes, I bought the special shirt)

He did get Premier League 2 Manager of the Year with Fulham, so that's a positive. Maybe some interesting loans coming up too?

It's the age old "give the guy a chance" but with Hughes and Rowberry being similar in terms of the methodology, it's a worry. Effectively, we've been hurt before.

My Dad bypassed all that and gave me a pair of football boots he found in a skip. He would not accept the argument that they were a size too big and that they were rugby boots.

An I missing something but is it impossible to find a match report beyond the official website (which concludes ominously with with “Despite the scoreline, County showed promising passages of play throughout the evening as preparations for the new campaign continued”)?

To be honest, I'm all for jumping on their backs but this one is pretty usual. They're a specialist recruitment company so it's quite usual in this case. Who knows what shitty brief they've given though.

A lot of players at that level have fewer options so willing to take a gamble for security and a few from the recent crop are coming back so know what to expect. Also, some are getting their first chance in league. The strategy is clear yet is wedded to pragmaticism / gambles rather than style.

@1912exiles.com Out of interest, clearly Fuchs hasn't effectively been in charge since Barrow (perhaps a reason that Kamwa, Baker decided to go..). So who is making these signings and why? And what system are they recruited against? It's all very odd.

My instinct with most County and Wales shirts is buy first, apply logic later. This has not changed in this case. Anticipated later logic: "It's limited edition, it'll be worth $7,000,000 this time next year."
