I will say I hope you're right Dean. it's certainly not madness to think a years experience and a good manager will make big gains.
I am still disappointed so far at the squad improvements, well to be fair there aren't any!

Just remember this team averaged 2.33 PPG in games that weren’t managed my Lindsey or Morris.
We were 15 points off the play offs - imagine if Morris has been able to get us to see out games!! We wouldn’t have been far off.

@DMC
That squad finished mid table.
If Flynn gets more out of them than the previous two managers did then great. They will definitely have improved with experience but the league looks tougher.
In any case we were promised changes and experience, and so we'll judge when the widow closes
Finished mid table last year in a significantly easier league than it will be this season, in my opinion. He'd need to get more out of them to finish mid table again. |

Just back from Melksham. Great day out. We’ve a squad there somewhere, with the addition of a few players I think we’re be just fine.

Yep, even though it was Melksham, the players looked fit and sharp. Come along way since the game we drew 0-0 with them and 3 players on the books on Power demise .  |

I personally think another keeper (Ward may be ok but I want a more experienced backup to challenge). An experienced CB, maybe thats Jordan Moore-Taylor is it, or AN other. A big target man with some experience to aid Charlie/Wakeling/RHM. A LWB. A holding midfielder. Then if some suitable loans come up maybe a left and right wide attacking players to change the game off the bench ala Louis Barry. |

I think we need an attacking midfielder as well. Flynn is clearly playing the 3 midfield with 2 sitters and 1 further forward. McEachren and Kahn are decent as the holding 2, but agree wa need something different there as well. But who plays that further forward role? It's Cain so far, but I that position is so integral in this set up, its a spot you need real quality in. I think we need someone far more dynamic in there. |

I *think* it’s a role that would suit Ronan Darcy |

Keepers are done if we sign Ward surely. Unless the loanee turns to be less Benda/Brynn and more Kovar.

Was thinking where members of present squad would play/not play if we sign JMT and Demetriou. What would that mean for Clayton and FBT. Getting the impression from the 2 friendlies so far we may see some players from last season playing in different positions this.
Yesterday, 2nd half, JMT was playing as the last man/sweeper - granted easy enough against limited opposition. Maybe Clayton could be more of a DM than a CB.
Perhaps things will become clearer when we play better teams.
