Our next target should be to retain the services of Mr Taylor. true. and there are others aren't there? BTW - wouldn't be adverse to looking at Andy Yiadom, as long as he leaves that tackle in North London. |

Unless someone leaves I can't see any more additions and not sure we need any anyway. mgrs need to make tough decisions and having 3 GK's on the wagebill is enough. Sometimes you have to deal with what you've got. DC has shown in both of his seasons he likes to hold money back for strong signings through the Autumn, Jan window, and even up to the Spring deadline. He's done the first two. I'd prefer him to keep a little back for a Lines type splash in March if necessary. Several decent players can't even get on the bench at the moment. I'd suggest that means we're doing ok on numbers, even if it has been helped by no serious injuries all season & no discipline issues. Only 20 games left. No cups. Only 2 midweek fixtures left. I guess it just depends if DC is happy to continue with Mildy in goal, and if he's happy for Preston to play should Mildy get injured/suspended, if he's not happy with both or either one of these things then we'll be signing a goal keeper, if he is happy with that then fair enough, just have to see what he does next |

We are in need of cover at left back, if Browner gets injured or suspended we have no natural replacement. (Don't consider switching our best centre back as natural replacement)

Was it fitness or current ability? |

For me a GK and a left sided winger, Nicholls or R.Clarke for GK and Gambin of Barnet looked a tricky decent winger. Can see one going out on loan to facilitate this possibility.

8 players for 4 slots is pretty standard.It's is good for competition, there's Bodin aswell. We might need 5 across the middle and a couple of injuries can make us thin overnight. But in defence we only have MM as cover for 5 positions! The squad seems unbalanced to me with too many similar midfield players. Yeah, I suppose the squad has this formation (kinda), atm, counting proper senior players only ------------1------------ ---2-------3-------1---- --2--------5---------1-- -----------4----------- |

I wonder why we have wingers when we play with wing backs. I'd like to see Montanna given more time on the pitch. Plus if we keep playing with 5 across the middle then other teams will know how to counteract that, which I thought was against DC's plans

BTW - wouldn't be adverse to looking at Andy Yiadom, as long as he leaves that tackle in North London. Indeed. I'm happy with the vast majority of the squad and would like to be able to keep them. As DC said, selling would be madness! |

Yeah, at our level we are unlikely to sell anyone for enough to make a genuine difference to out financial position. Even the duke who went for a million would only scratch the surface of our debts. Better to keep hold of our squad, get promoted (maybe not this year) and build from there.

Both Gosling & Bodin have been poor recently and Montano can only seem to turn it on at the Mem. Goalie wise surely there's a cheap option we can pick up as back up for Milders? After that a left wing back looks a priority. |

Why do we need wingers ? We rarely play the ones we have, instead playing wing backs Maybe he's been playing wingbacks as he's not confident in the wingers we have. If we play 442, he has to pick 2 out of the 3 we currently have. Surely signing a decent winger would solve that problem and give us another option. I've been pretty happy with Bodins contribution, although sometimes be struggles to get into the game. Montano hasn't really been given a run of games, but Clarke sees him everyday in training so maybe there's a reason why? From what I've seen, he's hit and miss. Gosling, well he seems way down the pecking order atm, rarely makes the bench. Maybe league football is currently a step too far for him? Again, he's hit and miss when he does play. It seems to me that out wide is where we are the weakest and if DC is looking to address that, then surely that's a good thing. |

I wouldn't mind seeing him leave if it meant we could bring someone else in because Im sure there's better out there. |

Why do we need wingers ? We rarely play the ones we have, instead playing wing backs We need a quality left winger to play 4-4-2. Sometimes you just have to match up against a lesser side win the battle and get round the back of them i.e Barnet, Wimbledon. |

Don't know about his fitness but I'm sure Clarke remarked in an interview a while back that he wasn't ready yet, that may have changed in the time that has passed or I may be wrong, it's just something I think I recall, only DC knows for sure so like I seem to keep saying about everything it's just a case of wait n see |
