Hope I am massively wrong but beginning to think that we wont see any inbound until towards end of August.

Last year we made 5 first team signings after this date.

We did but we had also signed 4 first team members prior to todays date. Tomer Hemed, Gaetan Bong Niki Mäenpää Liam Rosenior plus a further 4 development squad players.
And that's because we had released so many players and returned so many loans. There was always going to be less churn this transfer window.
My son and partner went to the training session this morning. Those present were those that we'd expect, i.e.:
-- no Goldson, March or Hunemeier
-- Stephens, Rosenior and Sidwell were all present so have worked, or are working, off their knocks.

Agreed but some meaningful activity and an indication of urgency would be welcome.
I am aware of that but would add that we released Greer and has so far failed to replace him and now with injuries to goldson and the German (who was injued last season so the club were aware of his prognosis) we are possibly going into Derby playing Bruno out of position and having DS on the bench as cover. Whether we signed 5 players in August and beyond last year doesn't change the fact above and counts for nothing this year. I would be concerned if this situation is not altered by next weekend, would you not also be?
Only to pacify those panicking - we all know the club carefully keep all transfer stuff extremely quiet so we shouldn't expect to hear any indication of urgency or evidence of activity.

Where's any indication that the club aren't going to add to the squad ? They've gone on record about a striker several times. Hughton as recently as last weekend.
And he's given almost a daily commentary on where things are re: the centre back situation.
yes. but then you seem to be implying
a) the club haven't acknowledged this or are unaware of the bleedin obvious or urgency - Hughton said "It's a concern" on Monday for example and no doubt its giving him sleepless nights

b) have forgotten that we're not actively chasing a target - Shane Duffy - and presumably other targets we don't know about.
c) we've turned down a couple of expensive bids for Dunk.
What more do you expect em to be doing ?
To be fair my earlier post said I didn't expect a signing before the season started and that I for one found that concerning. I did not say anyway that I thought the club were unaware or complacent which seems to be implied in your reply just that as a fan I had hoped we may have filled this gap before now and that the fact that, as your point out, we made 5 late signings last year was irrelevant to the situation now.
