A lot of people were happy when we signed Anderson permanently
Yep, I was one of them. We were wrong

GOALKEEPERS 1. Lawrence Vigouroux (2019) - Number 1 12. Will Henry (2018) - Extend and get him a proper, season-long in the conference 21. Reice Charles-Cook (2019) - Bin if possible 28. Stuart Moore (2018) - Number 2
DEFENDERS 2. Ben Purkiss (TBC) - meh 4. Matt Preston (2018) - 3 year deal please 5. Chris Robertson (TBC) - bin if poss 6. Olly Lancashire (2019) - keep 23. Joe Romanski (TBC) - sure he'll be around as a kid 24. Kyle Knoyle (TBC) - offer a long-term contract if he's out. 25. Dion Conroy (2019) - keep 34. Ryan McGivern (2018) - meh
MIDFIELDERS 8. James Dunne (2019) - fine 14. Ellis Iandolo (2018) - extend for a year 15. Tom Smith (TBC) - extend for a year and actually let him push for the first team. 16. Amine Linganzi (TBC) - bin 18. Donal McDermott (2018) - extend for a year 26. Jordan Young (2019) - keep 31. Matthew Taylor (2018) - extend for a year 35. Jordan Roberts (TBC) - I don't know who this is? A kid I'm assuming? --. Tommy Ouldridge (TBC) - don't care
FORWARDS 7. Paul Mullin (2019) - fine 9. Luke Norris (2019) - fine 17. Marc Richards (2019) - fine 22. Kaiyne Woolery (2020) - fine 27. Scott Twine (TBC) - presumably will have a part to play 30. Keshi Anderson (2020) - fine
So...
Not much flex available, and it could be argued needed, in the final third but overall defensively and in midfield a must - hoping for something like:
LV Moore Henry
Knoyle NEW RB/CB Purkiss Preston Conroy Lancashire New LB M Taylor
McDermott New Winger 1 James Dunne New CM 1 New CM 2 T Smith Iandolo New Winger 2 New Winger 3
Mullin Keshi Norris Richards Woolery
Then Twine, Young an active part of the squad, couple of other kids on the fringes for JPT.
6-7 signings away from having a really decent squad, if those additions are of sufficient quality.

Good luck to him, captain of our U18s and physically a fairly well built striker who has scored a few for the youths this season.

Well done to Kyle Knoyle making the L2 Team of the Week.
Got a good ‘un there, I reckon. Who was responsible for his signing?

I think Kyle Knoyle will go on to better things, hes been a solid performer in almost every game I have seen him play.
He was rated highly as a youth at West Ham and tipped to make their first team but only made 1 sub appearance, luckily we got in there before anyone else grabbed him.
Have to get him signed on for longer term than he is IMO.

There is an awkwardness about him, but he has improved under Brown, by quite a stretch as well. He looks a real threat now and doesn't look lost in defence. His crossing in the last couple of games has probably been better than Taylor, who got a bit fixated on drilling in crosses and floating corners.

Yep he has improved. I think he'll progress. A big season for him coming up, I think he could become Nathan Byrne-esque. Should extend current deal.

Hopefully there is an option for an extension for KK. This got to me to thinking when was the last time that a first teamer was offered and actually signed a new contract. Nathan Thompson possibly, a few years ago?

Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves? Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here? Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change? Crap!

Now that is an interesting question, to which I have no idea, you could well be right with NT.

To be fair though once Black left we stopped paying silly wages, so I’d imagine nobody was going to sign again on lower wages. Added to that having qualified for two playoff finals and lost the better players are likely to have offers at a higher level and many of the others we probably didn’t want to keep. I can’t imagine there’s too many of the current crop that will be in demand elsewhere so maybe we will keep more of the ones we want to keep.

Agree with pretty much all of that Panda although I'd be looking to offload Dunne & Norris (for free if need be, although we'd presumably get a small fee for Norris given he's our top scorer & we managed to get fees for Brophy & Goddard in Jan).
