Jamie McGrath left the club today for a year long loan at Scottish Premier League club, Dundee United, this moves frees up space in the squad for a potential incoming, possibly a loan signing, a new face could be in place before Saturday's trip to Norwich.
Talking of Norwich, we are joined on the podcast by Canaries supporter, Pete Rogers, a life long fan and former producer of the club's official matchday programme, for which he is still a contributor,
Pete gives us the lowdown on preseason, Dean Smith, their new signings and player to watch, he also attempts to lull us into a false sense of security by claiming he fancies a goalless draw or at most, a one nil victory for the home side. We're not falling for that one Pete!
