Comminges is going to leave. We haven't heard anything on his contract that was offered two months ago.Breza will probably go Would keep P Smith, sign another keeper, Jack Smith, Ifill, Aljofree, Vincent, McNamee, Easton, Timlin-permanently and McGovern and Paynter and Cox as fiirst team. I would get rid of Sturrock, Williams as player and coach, Zaboub. Nicholas  Pook and Barry Corr if he gets injured again this season.I would sign a new right back Lewis Hunt, Martin Smith as a squad player, just been released and a right winger.Someone good from league 2 and bring through Callum kennedy as cover at left back.

I don't see the reasoning for getting rid of Sturrock.  You look at the amount of goals strikers score in this league (especially when they are not first choice) and Blairs count doesn't look bad at all.

We could sign better quality Remember when we had Sam Parkin Tommy Mooney and Rory Fallon to choose from up front!!Thats what you need for promotion.

Yes, and we didn't get promotion. I wont say why because I don't want to mention his name again...

Hopefully with all being well next season, we will have Cox, Painter and Corr up front, so Sturrock isn't really that much of a risk. Plus he isn't exactly a big earner.

So long as Mr Stabby isn't around, I don't mind. That is the one thing that I hope Byrne is asked in the next podcast - is a part of the McNamee deal that we have to play that lazy, unfit, untalented, vain lump?

Anyway Left back will surely be a priority - Malpas may well look for a bit more height there as well as ability. He's also said that he wants more numbers too so there might be more than just like for like replacements.

Corr is more of a liability than sturrock .

We almost got promotion BECAUSE of those 3 strikers! The rest of the team was average at best. e.g. Hewlett, Heywood, Duke, Reeves, Rhys Evans..!

He's an honest pro but I don't think Sturrock offers us anything that Cox doesn't. What we do lack up front is pace and experience, though Cox seems to have the requisite amount of guile and smarts to make the latter less of an issue. And pace alone, as we've seen previously with Sabin, Roberts, and Moses, is a slightly over-rated quality in a striker.

Also, didn't Jeremy Wray say when we signed Cox that we were hoping on promotion, and if we didn't get it then we'd have to re-structure the squad? What Malpas wants, and what he gets, are likely to be two different things.

Wont be Brez who stays. He is off in the summer to Spurs. Sad


hahahahahahhahahahaha

we need:
A striker
A Right Mid
A left Back

Thats all

But we only have one right back, our central midfield has been weak all year and with Zaaboub almost certainly leaving we'll only have one left winger  :?


A versatile winger, and sign timlin permanantley

I'd release Jack Smith, Zaaboub, Mohammed, Nicholas, Vincent, Williams, Blackburn, Pook and Sturrock (albeit someone would have to sign him or we pay up his contract).  I'd also be more than happy if Ashikodi never pulled on a red shirt again.

I'd offer a new contract to Kanyuka and also try to sign Timlin permanently.  We'd also need another right back/centre back, left back (x2), centre mid, right mid, left mid and striker.

Names that spring to mind and who are out on loan to other clubs at the moment are:
Matthew Mills (defender from Man City at Doncaster....isn't he a local lad as well?)
Kevin Betsy (Bristol C at Walsall)
Lee Holmes (Derby at Walsall)
Up front either go for Hodges (Port Vale), McGoldrick (Soton) or Fleetwood (FGR)

Don't see much money being splashed in the summer and expect majority of signings to either be free transfers or loanees.

Matthew Mills won't come here.

Kanyuka should stay, hopefully Comminges will as well of those out of contract. Others are take or leave.

1 goal in every 4 starts I think. Paynter's is about 1 in 3 and I expect Cox's is as well.

Didn't we always used to moan how we had no fire power? Seems we're spoilt for choice over strikers these days. I don't think Sturrock and Ashikodi are ever going to be the sort of players that will start games week in week out though, which is a worry given that a couple of injuries/suspensions can really screw you over.

With the exception of Lee Holmes, I'd be mightily fucked off if we signed any of those.

Erm, off the top of my head I can't remember if we did ask about Moses, but I'm pretty certain he was signed purely as cover at a time when if you remember we weren't certain whether we'd land Cox or not. If we hadn't, with no-one sure at the time when Corr was coming back, we'd have needed the cover up front. Which is why he's here on a loan until the end of the season
