Dummigan out for 3 months according to the journal. Disappointing but not surprising. Leaves us with only Boyce as RB.

Mullans timeline is unknown at this point. Might see Patton get a few minutes early in the season.

Duncan Idehen moves to Ballymena, Aaron Heaney to Glenavon and Liam Mullan to H&W Welders respectively. All the players move loan until the summer.

Duncan will join Conor Barr on loan at the Showgrounds as Tiernan Lynch looks for an opportunity for both to play regular Premier Division football.

I make that as Connolly and Todd as our only CBs in the squad. We'll need at least two new signings in that area, one of those has to be of starting calibre.

Our backline may well be the achilles heel this season.

Given that he waited until he got his targets in other areas before allowing others to go I'd assume that a signing or two are close in that area that's why Lynch has allowed Idehen to go on loan

Leaving it this late in the window after everything has been picked over doesn't leave me with much optimism

I'm sure there's a 40-year old, ex-NI international from Belfast somewhere just waiting to be signed. :D

To SING. He approached him to sing.

I think I'd rather hear him play though.

No sign of a centre half yet with 9 days to our first match - we actually need two. We'll prob sign Hayden Cann and someone else but I thought with the UK window closed on Monday we would've had someone in by now.

Don't fancy starting the Shels match with Todd
