    No surprises there.
    What concerns me is Collins saying we’ll see where we are after the Oxford game.

    Need to act now. We’re going to be very short (especially at the back).

    I absolutely hate that the transfer window doesn’t close until we’re well into the season. So disruptive.

    It was same last season under Duff. You could argue Styles performance away at Ipswich was a parting gift.

    This season Collins is doing same. Decent common sense management. Pick strongest team you can for as long as you can.

    He's just getting on with it and no point speculating about it until you have to. Best thing everyone can do is get behind em' especially these next two home games and hopefully we'll have best points return available.

    I think the Styles one was to expected Phillips back now and hopefully Connell back soon assuming Kane stays I think we should be ok in midfield. At the back is the French lad left sided and we know what we are like with international clearance dunt we. There's no way we should let Kitch go until we have adequate replacement and that's no slight on Shepard but young lad from tier 8 isn't the answer.

    Famous last words here but I don’t think we’ll lose Kitching. Styles, yes we probably will lose him. But given we have Connell, Benson, Phillips and Wolfe all to come back in to the squad at various stages, I’m not sure we do need a replacement there. Especially given Chapman seems to be part of the fold too.

    I'd like an additional defender, midfielder and striker.

    However, I'm happy with what we've got. It's arrogant but you don't get punished in League 1. You just don't.

    Only thing we've done wrong this season is not get a second goal at Bristol.

    Styles, Kitching & Williams will probably leave. We are already short in defence as it is, hoping this French guy is going to slot in & be straight up to speed, but I have my doubts, unfortunately the club won’t reinvest & sign like for like quality.

    It’s the strikers I worry about, we are incredibly short up top, Watters barely match fit, Cole average, Dallas & Shaw clearly nowhere near the standard required for a promotion push. Dallas might come good, but Shaw is a lost cause I fear.

    How do you know we won't re invest? Until September 1st been and gone we know bugger.

    Yes we might lose Kitching, Kane, Williams and Cole and rightly so especially if Kane, Cole and Williams don't sign new deals.

    We're not a charity and we're trying to recoup losses.

    There will be new faces coming in. The targets promotion. Stop hanging people before a crime has even been committed.

    Well our recruitments not been too exciting so far this closed season so I don’t particularly have much faith in it suddenly improving in the remaining 19 days and it becoming panic mode.

    Styles, I don’t think any of us were planning this season with him involved so I see him as a bonus for now.
    Kitch,Williams, Kane if any of these leave Khalid should be reminded of where they declared after Wembley there was no pressure to sell and anyone who left would be ones the club wanted to and pressed at the upcoming fan forum over it.

    It's only distruptive if you let it be. Our board have mentioned planning for all situations, so they will have to prove it.
