I think we could do better if we signed Janet Street-Porter

I would like another keeper either 1st choice or back up,

We need a good strong striker to play along side with what we have got,

With the 2 wingers on the books now plus Tombola and Browne challenging them for a starting spot,,

That only leaves 14 other mid field players fighting each other for the central midfield places.

I think Vernon's a solid player but if we're going to challenge for promotion I reckon we need better, plus I think we need better than Yussuf as well. If he was available I'd have gone the whole hog to get Alex Revell but he's under contract sadly.

I don't think we need a genuine goal scorer. Jones scored 7 goals from mid February (or 16 games) so over the course of a season, having now got to grips with League 2 and hopefully a consistent partner and a cohesive plan behind him, that should return 20-25 goals over the course of a season which would be really good.

We need some pace up there for me, someone who can stretch defences and make them worried about where they are, someone to exploit tired legs and bring on to provide some relief if we're clinging on to a lead. I thought Jackson might be this player but he was too lightweight for the League 2. We need a better version of him IMO.

As Yussuf's under contract I can only really see one striker coming in TBH.


I've wasted my life in black and white, a pathetic act for a worthless cause

Not to mention Asante, who is no slouch.

It will be really interesting to see what sort of a formation we will be playing next season once Slade has all his signings at the club. Have to admit, I don't have a clue at the moment.

Not a striker but I notice keeper Bobby Olejnik has been released by Exeter. Former Peterborough keeper who has played at L1 and possibly Championship level (not sure and no time to research my dubious facts on that one).

Seen him play at posh a couple of times and seemed like a good keeper and I know a lot of posh fans were sad to seem him leave.

Might be a good option.

I think we ought to leave macca alone. He might not be every bodies cup of tea but to think a player released by Exeter is an improvement is pushing it a bit too far.
