Mason Berstow scored loads of goals for us.

Cody Black Taylor, Marcus Force, they all played huge part in our success last year.

And obviously

They've all gone back to their pairing clubs and and moved on since.

Um so we knew that we would have to strengthen.

We knew that we would have to try and bring in some experience into the squad, people who knew what this league looks like.

And also from a club's point of view, we wanted to try and bring in some young players who have got potential to develop our own players or to to develop them over the next couple of seasons that

Yeah, we have had expectation and pressure on us to get out of League One, but there's still an expectation and a pressure for us to to do really well in the championship because of the history that this club has got and where it's been not long ago.

Like we see ourselves as a big football club and we want to continue to do that.

So when we're trying to attract players to come, we're not bringing them in here and saying, Look, lads, you're going to be part of a relegation battle.
