What age and league do you think that Hurst will be searching for the new midfielders we so desperately need next year?

Will it be the non playing squad players from League one or two - similar to Conor Townsend's loan from his position at Hull, needing league games?

Do we look at midfielders who have proved they can play in this league?

Could it be up and comers who are currently part timers but want full time contracts?

As much as we armchair pundits go on you tube and watch players' best moments, it must be a thorough scouting system from Hurst and others that will find potential players - not as easy as we think, so I'm prepared to wait to see what Hurst does in the close season.

Acko.any half decent boss will prob have half a dozen up to ten possible targets for each position. There have been some v interesting articles on the in depth flow charts that moyes uses to track players for year after year. One thing that is v rarely mentioned about fergie is what a state he left the scouting network for moyes to inherit.the phrase chalk n cheese was never more apt apparently

Forza - fully agree - just wanted the boredom of close season not to sink in too soon - Hurst will probably be ticking off names as soon as he talks to the last few contracts to be settled, then he'll know what his nucleus is.

Will he use trials as well as his contacts to find these players?

A lot of fans on here just think it's a snap of the fingers to get players to join us - way out on this bleak east coastline !

In the Championship / Div 1, then possibly, all those years ago, but we are right down in anyone's pecking order now.

The season ticket holders will want to know that they can renew with some form of confidence, not see other sides grabbing who seem to be the bargains early on.

Just wanted to provoke some thoughts as different teams publish their released lists.

Why scout when you have the free Fishy resource !!

John Fenty, did he or did he not say that he was impressed by PH contacts regarding replacement players, unless he only watches one side (us) during a match he must have a wish list before the season end as to who he would like to see wearing the stripes

Blair scored last night in the playoffs so doubt he'll be dropping back down to the Conference.

Sam Togwell- Ex Scunny defensive midfielder released by chesterfield

Jake Speight ex Wrexham released by Mansfield,  never seems to get a regular start BUT has an impressive scoring record (maybe suggests something isnt quite right?)

Simon Walton released by Hartlepool. (Ex Leeds & Ipswich) Only 26 and played a lot of games in League. Probably still get a league club but a big lad for a midfielder who would be suited if we want more power
