experienced left back from Barnet has signed.
All in all, good business so far I think.

Can't argue too much with a guy who has played over 200 matches at conference and league level by 25. A quick glance at the twitter post when he said he was leaving suggests Barnet fans liked him.
Another good signing.

Nine solid years at Barnet where he has racked up over 100 appearances in both League Two and the National League.
Sounds like he's a reliable performer who will do a steady job. Versatility is also encouraging.
Also, there's a lot to be said for players coming into a club where they already know players. Hopefully that will make the gelling process easier.
Got to be pleased with the way our squad is taking shape now. Another full back, forward and winger will hopefully follow.

Think we might have to cull a few before we continue to sign more, specially upfront. Was the new lad from Hornchurch left or right midfield as we already have Weston and Luque (who was not in favour once Daryl arrived).

Another great signing by the looks of it. Really is showing that Saunders aside, all of our signings have been captains and/or are massively experienced players. Shows that we really aren’t looking to take chances next year like what we did last year when signing Dobson, Luque etc.
Fancy us this season more and more with each signing that is announced. Also fully expect Barnet to go down next season too which would be a lovely Brucie bonus. Roll on 3rd October!

Think Saunders is a left winger and, as you say, Weston will most likely play on the right. Luque and Dobson clearly aren't in McMahon's plans so we'd need another winger at least.
Grant and Quigley, likewise, clearly aren't fancied. With Balanta more of an in-the-whole player, that leaves McCallum as our only out-and-out forward so I can see another one coming in too. However, that may be dependent on offloading players first.

Very excited by the signings so far. Great coup to get McCallum. Looking forward to seeing them all in action!!

Can't remember the last time I was this excited about the start of the season.
What do yo think the odds will be ?

A few teams are looking strong, including the likes of Stockport, Solihull, Notts County and Hartlepool.
However, we're firmly in that category too. Looking at our team I don't see many glaring weaknesses besides the players McMahon is looking to offload. Just need to add some depth in certain areas.
Keepers: Justham, Strizovic
Full Backs: Johnson, Eleftheriou
Centre Backs: Reynolds, Croll, Clark
Midfielders: Deering, Brundle, Robinson, Phipps, Rance
WIngers: Saunders, Weston, Luque, Dobson
Forwards: McCallum, Balanta, Grant, Quigley
