Its twenty five past seven in the morning and I already sat at my desk. If anyone tells you that the credit crunch isnt biting hard, then please shoot them on my behalf.

Anyhow on to matters Weymouth and it has to be said that it is a very quiet time in the world of the Wessex. Usually this means that a disaster is around the next bend, but I get the feeling that this time the focus is on hard work and a dedication to get it right on the field this season.

There is still plenty of debate about where our goals are going to come from, and I suppose Marcus Stewart's move to Exeter City will only increase the speculation, so it will be interesting to hear what JHMBE has to say on the matter.

Personally I would like to see a proven hitman in the squad, although you could point to Beavon (who despite a lean season in front of goal still proved a handful last season), Dubois and "Nanny" McPhee. If Anton and Couttsie can chip in from midfield then we should be ok.

In having no 'proven' 20 goal per season strikers in the squad you put pressure on the defence to keep clean sheets, thus keeping you in matches, and that is the area we have arguably weakened in selling Kyle Critchell.

Interesting stuff and plenty to keep us debating hard until the season starts proper. Right I am off for a bit of retail therapy and ordering my new shirt!

Until tomorrow.
