    We seemed to go most of the close season without bringing anyone in , with the exception early on of Neil Thompson . To add insult to injury we also saw established players like Lee Butler , Owen Archdeacon , Brendan O'Connell and Andy Payton leave . The previous season had ended as a damp squib , with very few wins and the team slipping below Sheffield United and Huddersfield Town in the final table . Doom and gloom appeared rampant among some of the fans .
    Then it all started to happen one week in July . On the Monday we signed Jovo Bosancic , Tuesday it was the turn of Matty Appleby , Wednesday brought us Clint Marcelle and Thursday saw Paul Wilkinson putting pen to paper . We'd gone from famine to feast in less than a week .
    With any luck , something similar is on the cards very shortly . Keep the faith . (Y) (Y)

    Call it what you will

    But I have faith in Andy Ritchie & Gordon Shepherd to bring in at least three new players in time for the Cardiff game .

    For what it's worth

    I think that three of the players we'll sign are Liam Chilvers , Jay Tabb & Dean Windass .
