At presser on 14:14 - Aug 6 by PhilTWTD | Signings have settled in well. Azor has slotted in well to number six role, which isn't easy. Humble, team player, lovely guy, just what you want. Kipre experienced at this level. |
Townsend ACL, seeing a surgeon this week. Big blow for him and us. Jaden and Leif struggling, both will be assessed, will be given until last minute. Both had had good pre-seasons, struggling for Saturday. |  | |  |

At presser on 14:11 - Aug 6 by FrimleyBlue | Interesting they didnt expect much turnover, apart from Morsy, I can't imagine any others were much of a shock... |
1 or 2 isn't many - I think he's already said he would have preferred to keep Morsy, Tuanzebe and Burgess, but terms we're right for both sides. |  | |  |

Omari was training earlier in the week but had a medical issue but if OK will be involved on Friday. Have empathy for players who have interest but as manager need to do the right thing by the club. Want all those goals to marry up. Not had too many instances when they haven't over recent years, but that's a natural challenge of the place we're in. |  | |  |

Big fixture for opening match. Most managers, coaches you want an opening fixture which is a challenge. It's one to really look forward to embrace. Players and staff excited. |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

If they are struggling for Saturday then they have no chance for Friday. |  |

Expectations different from last time, but rather be in this position. Similar to when in League One. Know that if all goes well, can be one of the stronger teams in the division. Had three sides of it in League One, the Championship and Premier League, seen different versions of it, if asked which I prefer, I'd prefer the stronger one. But nothing really changes, still have to earn the right to improve, every weekend need to be ready to perform, any less than 100 per cent then you'll not be a success. |  | |  |

At least it sounds like Jaden's injury isnt long term. |  |

It's going to be Greaves on the left Friday night isn't it? |  |

May have to look to replace Conor T, but early days. Leif strong left-back and right-back options. But something we have to look at. |  | |  |

Gutting news for Townsend, but as expected Jaden shouldn't be out for very long at all. Hopefully Leif makes Friday, otherwise Young at left back I guess. |  | |  |

On the plus side, sounds like Philogene's injury might not be too serious. Without wanting to sound horrible, and I do really like Townsend and wish him the speediest of recoveries, we probably need Philogene back more. |  | |  |

Starting point was keeping squad together, which in cases like Dara we have, but others have gone. In reality, we're short of numbers, so we've still got work to do over the next few weeks. Would like to have squad ready for start of season, but not always possible. Club has to do what's right for the club for the short and long-term. Will add to the squad over the next few weeks and challenge for me and staff is to get them into a team for the season ahead. |  | |  |
