....until the start of the new season. A season that has huge hopes and expectations after we saw last year what Wilder can do with a squad of players not his own with limited coaching time.
Unfortunately, with only a little over 2 weeks to go until the West Brom game, our squad is MUCH weaker now than it was at Preston back in May and we continue to falter in the transfer market.
Huge holes to fill in the starting 11 never mind the squad, character and leadership needed. So much to do and the days and weeks tick by.
Goalkeeper, left sided CB, cover for Jones at RWB, 2 (maybe THREE) strikers, only 4 midfielders for 3 positions now in Tav, McGree, Howson and Crooks.
Looking at the photos from Portugal, Wilder has had to raid the Rockliffe nursery to fill plane seats.
And even when (or if!) we do bring in these players that are going to have to go straight into our starting 11, Wilder has had limited time to work with them, time that he's repeatedly stated he needs on the training pitch.
Then there's the Spence saga.. widely reported from many media outlets in the North East and London that he had his medical 2 weeks ago!?
Get a move on Boro.
