...but he does need the right players around him to make up for his negatives To be fair that is equally true for Westbrooke. In fact even having Luke McCormick doing the job of two men next to him failed to make up for all the negatives from ZW1. (Zain Walker being ZW2) Hopefully Westbrook can develop into lines at his best, he’s got a ways to go tho. And the difference in pace will hold him back I think

Charlie Mulgrew Connor McAleny 2 more possibly sorted im not sure but fair play if so. I can see mulgrew sorting some sort of player coach deal at Partick and staying in glasgow with his son in the celtic academy and wasnt McAleny released by Barton at fleetwood after being out on loan? Oldham also much nearer to home, he will probably sign on again as hes not super proven and might want to stay comfortable and build in his success last season. We wouldnt want to offer him big wages to convince him orherwise as its a big gamble imo. Id save the cash for another.

Source what source I make all this up Daniel-san it’s hearsay conjecture and waffle Right, that's it. You are definitely ITK. All the other bullshiters claim inside sources and unknown friends. No way would a fake ITKer ever admit to making up the stuff they make up. You are indeed a wise old owl

Connor McAleny - well at least he has scored a fair few goals in the division we are in which is more than you can say for Ayunga, Hanlan, Daly or Walker.

Daly is still only 21 as well, think people forget that. He didn’t get much of a chance at the end of the season, but scored 3 in 8 starts in the league, pre injury. So I wouldn’t write him off yet, especially dropping down a league.

not writing any of them off but there were no signs last season that any of them would score 15-20 in League 2 which Connor McAleny has. Can't honestly see us picking up a much better goalscorer. Youngster or not there were no signs that Walker would score goals in the future. Daly,Ayunga and Hanlan maybe. We shall see.

But, if we continue with a back 3 and keep bypassing midfield, who is going to provide the opportunities? Steve, serious question mate, have you seen any signs that Joseph can manage well and, more importantly, make the right substitutions at a time where they could make a difference?

KP - you did notice little Fleetwood got to the playoffs last season? He had no chance with Rovers - best players out injured most of the time since he took over, Hanlan carrying an injury since before Christmas, no strikers in the transfer window. On the one or two occasions when he fielded a decent team - including Grant and Rodman, we won. Not saying JB will set League 2 alight, we will have to wait and see!

KP, I don't honestly think he will continue with a back three next season IMO he will sign players to fit a back four formation. I don't feel that any manager could have done any better because the squad was so unbalanced and we lost key players that we didn't have like for like replacements. With Nicholson went any chance to stay up and the loss of Grant didn't help. The defence was mistake ridden under all three managers. I am confident if JB had been Manager during the January window he would have brought attacking players in and probably a new centre half and central midfielder. I can only hope that he has the ability to bring in the players he knows he needs but only time will tell.

Surely signing players is the easy part of management, or do you mean you hope JB is fully supported by Wael in bringing in the players he needs?

We’ve shown in past years, regardless of the size of our budget, that signing the right players is anything but easy. Clarke got it very right for a while but ultimately made some costly mistakes. Widdrington and Garner spectacularly ballsed it up last summer and now we’re in a position where we’re putting all our eggs in Joey’s basket. This could all work out swimmingly but could equally prove to be disastrous as with the type of experienced, proven players he is after, it will definitely not come cheap.

The big problem is that JB has no choice but to go for experience because those before him have filled the squad with mainly young players many of which are not up to even League Two standard.It is very questionable whether many of the experienced players we do have are up to the required level- Baldwin,Ehmer,Williams. Not an easy task!!

Got as far as Lines tackles and couldn't read anymore due to the tears in my eyes from laughter. Chris Lines at the peak of his powers offered a lot, but he was never one to put in a tackle. Seen him make a few tackles.. don’t remember them being very good tho lol think he scored a header as well 🤔 I was always a big fan of Lines he offers a lot of positive forward qualities that are invaluable, but he does need the right players around him to make up for his negatives We have seen the best of Lines, we dont want to see the worst of him. We dont need ex players, they are the same as all the other players, they play for the cash

I suspect one or two of these might be heading our way Paul Coutts, Mark Duffy, Sam Finley, Josh Morris, Glenn Whelan, Harvey Saunders and Nathan Sheron.
