Ok so we have managed to keep Lenny, which is equally as important to signing hendrie and kightly. We are led to believe that michael turner will be signing a contract soon.
We have also invested heavily in youth with around 6 youth players getting pro deals. I hope they can get some game time.
What else is required? Or do we have enough in the team and could just sign loanees if needed?
We have two keepers, but I think that neither keeper has looked like a top league 1 keeper. I hope that both do well, but just worry that this is our biggest vulnerability.
We look light at centre half, although white can cover. Both centre half's will be in the twilight of their respective careers.
Both full back positions look solid with good options either side.
Centre midfield looks strong. Both Wordsworth and Leonard are class. Wordy has a habit of missing games and Timlin is a game player but not as cultured. There is also the forgotten figure of jack bridge, who for one reason or another has not progressed as we would have hoped.
Out wide we have 3 or possibly for 4 options if you count Robinson. Kightly will obviously be the main man, but mclaughlin is also very capable. McGlashans best option is to come off the bench and use his pace against weary legs. Getting another wide man would undoubtedly be over kill.
Up top. We have cox and fortune who have already proved very useful. Although neither are quick you would expect cox to be a player always amongst the goals. Fortune plays the unselfish role , but his shooting is not at that higher level. Robinson was brought in as a 4th choice striker and does this well. More than capable if needed. Not going to score loads but is a useful player. Lastly we come to Nile Ranger who In all honesty must be a chairman and managers worst nightmare. Failed a drug test and has now been locked up for fraud against the vulnerable. Have the club made the right choice? Time will tell.
A lot was made of Nile' s lack of pre season last year but this year will be worse. Fwiw I think we should have got shot and brought in another. He has talent for sure but my god that comes with serious baggage.
I'm not sure what we need exactly but I would say that centre half is a priority and possibly another central midfielder.
If I had a choice id love Kiernan and Forrester or ben Reeves, but I think Ron's pockets have already been tested.
