In keeping with most recent Poppies pre-seasons we go from having two or three registered players the week before the season starts to having dozens of players signed on by the first Saturday. Presently we have enough Connors, Kyles and Reece's to take a fair stab at launching a new Terminator franchise.
Also in keeping with the past few seasons I'm not going to bother trying to put too many names to faces among our new chaps. There's no point really. If this level of football has taught us nothing else it has taught us that players don't hang around too long if they aren't starting games and with our squad now numbering over 20 there's going to be a lot of disgruntled bench-warmers and even more disgruntled not-even-made-the-benchers.
Several of the players announced with fanfares this week will be history before September is out and before you know it we're playing a Tuesday away game in an unfriendly northern stronghold with only three named substitutes, including a couple of under-18 players. A few weeks after that we'll no doubt start trawling for additional bodies. Ah well. At least some of them might achieve a fleeting Poppies-fame by appearing in KTFC programme quizzes in years to come.
Get those photographs in quick....
