I don't quite understand people's comments not just on here and Facebook/twitter, I keep seeing this line that we have a rock solid defence so we don't need to strengthen in that next season, only 7 teams have conceded more than us this season in league games, is that a rock solid defence? And then people seem to contradict themselves about the striking options, they say we need a total overhaul up top and them they talk about retaining 75% of the striking options so how's that an overhaul?
May be an unpopular opinion but I think we need a total revamp in every area, we have to be ruthless, as much as I appreciate the FA cup run.
We defiantly need a new keeper. Two younger, quicker CBs if we don't have Smith. A left back and right back Ball playing midfielder if Hunts not in Hursts plans and a fukin big bloke up front.

Wonder if the coaching set up needs looking at over the summer. Hurst, Doig, Davies and Coke all have a defensive mind set so when PH complains we’re not taking out chances I wonder what’s happening on the training ground to rectify it apart from shooting practice. I see Kevin Philips has been let go by South Shields so could we have a finisher like him to work with the strikers
Good observation. I wonder who does coach the forwards on forward play. Clearly they get a lot of instruction on tracking back .

I think there will be a lot of posters across social media who are going to be disappointed this close season and start getting really vocal if we don't sign the players that will no doubt be touted as the prospect that will fix all of our issues across whatever area of the pitch.
I think we just need to trust "the organisation" as Jason Stockwood calls it, PH I guess will have the best budget he's ever had at GTFC but wage demands, and any paid fees will no doubt increase. We have an experienced Head of Recruitment who you'd assume has been working full time on a recruitment campaign and I'd be amazed if PH hadn't told him about who he wanted as his core targets as well as a clear expectation on identifying new talent.
The lads that will remain look like a good group and we know PH will continue to create a decent culture, the support staff is a bit like what you'd see at a decent set up Cheapside isn't the best but looks fit for purpose for now and we've heard a bit about how we'd like to support players with a life outside the game etc..
I still don't think we'll see a couple of players coming in on what would have been for us considered big money before now, but I do think that we will see a number of players coming in on better money than what we've paid and I would imagine a re-structured bonus scheme for all of the squad. There will be a few unknown's and though it's not popular with some he'll lean on the loan market too.
Personally I'm going to keep an open mind and see what happens as I am 100% sure PH won't sign anyone on the basis of how good the Twitter community say they are or the opinion of any other social media platform.
I'm sorry, have I missed something here? Has a retained list already been put out?

I think the tone of the post match interview and the ongoing lack of quality in the final third will mean that there will be less continuity than we imagined.

Glennon has no pace , great left foot but to slow . He get outpaced against a fast winger or wingback and teams coming to BP exploit that . He’s not good enough for league 2

No, but overall they’re a good group so some departures won’t change that.

Yeah agree, I posted similar on another message, I think a few have fallen short.

It's all about opinions but I disagree with a couple. I think we're covered at full back, remember these guys have had to play as wing backs most the season which I doubt they've played much since now. Glennon/Amos I personally think could be good enough for a top half league 2 side, same as Efete (maybe we need someone to challenge efete if emmanuel isn't signed). Also with the striker situation, I'm not into this 'we need a big bloke' if you play football properly you can pass to feet , slip it through the defence or hit the channels without having to hoof it to some massive bloke who can't run but may hold it up from time to time.

Although there is merit in this about a ' defensive minded bias' in the coaching then you also wonder why our defense hasn't been tighter? Of course, our defense has been changed both in formation and personnel that maybe players haven't been able to develop better understandings between each other. It is still a concern, though, that we have leaked a lot of 'silly' goals that have cost us points.
