I've no problem with any of the three signings but at the moment we have Mills, Davies and Boyce as our defence and an average League 2 keeper.

Quoted from Mariner_09
Are we? Clements, McAllister, Summerfield, Berrett, Osborne, Rose. I think we have one too many players there, need to ship one out probably Summerfield wouldn't call it "stupidly overloaded" though.

If we are to assume that Andrew is gone but DC has signed then we still need 2 centre halves, a left back and a striker, so still 4 more players.


S.Jones and Clifton are also centre midfielders which means we have 8 players who can play in that position, ridiculous for a league 2 side.  For balance we should have two for each position so I wouldn't carry any more than 5 max. As a minimum we need to lose two of these players.

Sorry can't see Kelly as an out and out pacy left winger and lets not forget Tombola I think he can get better his genuine pace upsets defences.

Jones? Asante? Vernon? There's 3 players who can do a job upfront in rotation? We only need one more 'dynamic' striker to complement the new pacy signings? Even Dembele can go upfront then play Akheem or Bolarinwa on the flank?

Macca will be staying at town from what i know, as number 1. Hopefully a summer of rest will do him good. We all like him, and desperately want him to do well

I don't "like him" or particularly dislike him but there are better goalkeepers  out there. He let himself down with his attitude once he was dropped for Henderson unlike Pearson he threw his toys out the pram instantly and he'll do the same again if he ever gets dropped,  so get rid.


Are we any closer to getting promoted since Hurst has been here? No

Has he been given time to achieve promotion by the chairman and fans? Yes

Hurst out

Same here, I think there is a lot still to do as follows,.

Keeper x 1 (2 if James gets the hump again)

Defenders x 4 (2 CBs, 1 LB, 1 Utility)

Strikers x 2 (at least)

and then we will need to address the challenge of off loading the one surplus to requirements.

Expect some activity at the start of next week as players return from their holidays and the season tickets go on sale.

I think we need more than that at the back. Three centre backs (two if DC signs), and two left backs or a one left back and one left footed utility player.  Boyce would be my fourth choice centre back so I'd definitely like to see a mix of pace and physicality coming in, in that area.
