| No - I don't see us having strengthened enough to win the league.
Elliot Hall is a solid signing that will improve us in the backs and give us a recognised quality full back something we've been missing for two years.
Knowles is well regarded and will no doubt do a job for us. I see him as a direct replacement for Ruan.
The other two do not inspire confidence Hey hardly played last year and bringing someone out of retirement is never ideal, we lost Storey and we haven't picked up a new centre I can only see the play will be to play Hall there or Misi - while I admire Misi for his dedication, he is in a place now where he should be a bit part player, not the major focus. We seem very light in the backs I think we only have 2 wingers and 2 centres on the books. We lack any form of a punch in the forwards I don't feel the two we've brought in are going to be anything more than "solid" and are not going to set the division alight with tackle-busting runs or great offloads.
Its been proved over 3 seasons now that Horne has no plan B if were not dominant in the forwards he is lost and has no other way of playing. I know I keep coming back to it but after we defeated the Cougars 2 years ago they took stock and went hard on recruitment we lost in two finals and rewarded failure, I personally think the side we had when we lost to Town in the final was better than the side that lost to Swinton, we have gone backwards not forwards.
Other teams seem to be recruiting better - you cannot be critical on Bookface you have to be a happy clapper.

| Whilst i think ferres is a very good signing i fully agree about the FB sheep, the minute you question anything the do-gooders/ground troops/self righteous brigade team up to drown out your views. They will critise any other view that's not theirs but won't dare criticise the dons hierarchy that have year after year failed! It's a weird weird set up definitely akin to some kind of cult.

| To be fair it’s about 2 or 3 people, it doesn’t help they’re not actually very good at constructive debate and just say “you can’t say that” though.
The irony is I’ve had this same debate the other way round. The dons fans, like all groups of people, are a bell curve. There will always be people at far ends but the majority are somewhere round the middle

| Unfortunately, this platform is in terminal decline.
This is a platform where lengthy posts sat well and people felt that they could speak freely.
Disagreements and spats still occurred however and I contributed to a good few.
Facebook is not a platform where lengthy discussions tend to occur, certainly not reasoned ones.
It does stop me going on though even though I know I am disliked by certain folk.
Sod 'em I say, I will say what I like and Steve should do the same.

Thanks Wilf. I hope you've been somewhere nice!
Agree with S/O that this forum appears to be dying. There's only a few of us left who like an in-depth discussion and enjoy listening to all views - not just ones we 100% agree with.
For me, listening to other people is important especially as we all have a shared common goal of seeing the Dons be successful. The club needs to listen too.
