This whole pre season bears the same hallmarks of Bodgers last pre season where for all his faults he was undone that summer by the board trying to be Mini Daniel Levy's and getting their fingers burned.
I know players coming in will always leave it to the last minute to see if they can get an established Prem side rather than a newly promoted one but the lack of shifting out the players Steve Cooper doesn't want to create space and wage money is just like 2 years ago.
Cooper has shown he is adaptable and i trust him but he needs to have a smaller squad of players that want to be here
