Would be interesting to see how many players you think we would need to bring in to sustain a challenge for the play-offs this season. A comparison hand in hand with Ginny's poll to ascertain fan and club expectations for the season and how good you think the squad is at present.

I voted four players. Definitely an experienced centre back and striker, though young fringe players from a higher level on loan may do the job. Would also like to see a dominant midfielder and possibly a tricky winger. Some of the wingers we have now are promising but not yet fully fledged first team regular material. Browne and Tombola spring to mind.

Think we will get 2 if we're lucky, so they need to be players ready to hit the ground running and improve us from the off.

Agree with everything you say, every position, Ginny..  As long as the signings improve us. Need four will get two max.

I think ph is really struggling or is he actually being picky.  I see cambridge have signed ex watford striker Uche Ikpeazu.  Looks a big striker.

Quoted from lee65
Geography coming in to play again?  


Well I'm sure it's partly there. Not many people want to live in this area most people who live here were born here.

As for what we need we need another defender preferably one who can slot in a couple of positions and has a bit of pace. I'd be happier with two defenders one who is a bit quick and one with some height and strength. Then a proper winger if we aren't changing formation. It's tempting to say another striker but I think what we have can work if they get it together. Bogle and Jackson seem to be individuals rather than strike partners at the minute they don't link up well at all.

I cant see anymore tbh.

I voted for 5 based on going for promotion but dont think we will need more than 1 or 2 to be mid table and comfortable. I would take mid table tbh as he has largely built a brand new team and as history of the Hurst shows his teams are not immediate winners.
They tend to be ok then he cuts the deadwood and adds to the spine.

Its not instant success and never will be with a small budget.

How many would take mid table this year followed by a good promotion push next, especially coming out of non league. Players will still be hard to attract as ever because of geography.
Surely there could be trials for local league players to come in and have a bash in the reserves to see how they would fair? i know there must be a good few players from a local leagues that are good enough but for one reason or another they have been snubbed?

I had thought we needed at least 3 and probably four players, but then I thought...

What happens if Andrew gets injured? Who's  the back up left back?

Isn't Dan Jones a centre back? We keep hearing that we've only got three centre backs, so is Jones a centre back or left back?
