Here's what I'd like to see for the squad ahead of the new season
GK
Belly with new first team competition for place
Ward used in pre-season then a half season/full season loan to National League
Defence
In contract and part of future: Hoole, Gibbons, Connolly, Gordon
Clarke I dont expect to return and we need a new first choice LB
Incl. Ryan Jones as a LB/LWB option in preseason and see if he is ready to compete, new 1 year deal and loan again if not quite ready
Need: New first choice CB and additional to compete with Connolly. Gibson and Taylor would be ideal
RB looks ok.
Midfield
In contract and part of future: Finley, Rossiter, Evans, McCormick, Lawrence
Extend contract for Ward, Anderson (R. Jones as above), short term deal for Josh Grant to prove fitness.
Need replacement for Coutts, Bogarde.
Attack
In contract is interesting. Collins we all expect to leave, Loft may well be loaned out or sold if an offer comes in.
Marquis and Sinclair part of plans, who we get to replace Collins may determine if Loft stays too or not.
Would love Alfie May and Ruben Rodriguez. Plus a prem starlet on loan!
Doesnt feel to bad in terms of turnover, but relies heavily on the 3 players mentioned in the post stepping up.
