What he said. Other areas need strengthening before adding new forwards. Scoring goals wasn't our problem, it was letting them in, I'd like to see us linked with some defenders.

What he said .......... plus I think a different type of forward might be what we require.

Keep a clean sheet and get at least 1 point per game - defence and midfield more important at the moment .....
 
If we are going this route, might aswell re-sign Liam Dickinson, very similar in ability and temperament. Actually Dicko is better in the air.
 
I think Maroon Blue has a good point. Maybe Phil Brown should offer Liam Dickinson a trial or the chance to participate in pre-season training to prove his fitness. I have feeling Brown might know how to get the best out of Dickinson.

Personally think the midfield has the biggest issue as people were cutting through us at times like butter. I think a defence of Cresswell, Smith and Clohessey in the unlikely event we can keep him is a great starting point but I would love to see a Granty like player holed up infront of the back four.
 
Apologies Ayrshire Blue, your right ....Grant is on the transfer list and not released....T.Tucker, lightened up, it's all a bit random on here during the close-season.

I can't believe no one signed Dickinson last season after the goals he got for us the year before.
 
Not sure about him really as his record is ok at some clubs and quite poor at other's.
On the plus side though like Brown himself it seems according to Wiki Rene has off the pitch abilities that could be
useful for the club !.

'He also has trained as an electrician'.

Which is why I can't understand why everyone says Spillane is crap, because he stopped this happening. Sure, he wasn't as good as Makandawire, but he was a championship player playing in league two.

If so, it'll be seven rooms of gloom at the back.

Maybe Brown intends to play him Left Backe?
 
Interesting to see that Tisdale of Exeter has declared that he will probably only be able to sign one player during the summer, due to the new financial constraints. Don't be surprised if we too only end up bringing in just 1/2 players, and draft in a few youth players to make up the squad numbers.
