So, this is how our squad will look once DC adds the final three signings he mentioned yesterday (excluding first year pro's, who I don't see playing much):
Gk's:
Mildenhall
Preston
Def:
Leadbitter
Lockyer
McChrystal
Parkes
Turley/New CB
Brown
Mid:
New Winger
Monkhouse
Gosling
Mansell
Clarke
Sinclair
(Lockyer)
ST:
Brunt
Taylor
White
New ST
--------------------------------------
IMO we'll be the most prepared we've been going into a season for years if DC can add the final three pieces of the jigsaw he's after before August 9th. It'll make a change from going into the season still chasing signings and trying to fill key positions in the squad. The great Constable chase of 2012 still gives me nightmares.
My thoughts on the individual areas of our squad:
Goalkeepers - Mildenhall was arguably too good for L2, let alone non-league. Preston is fine as backup. Let's be honest, we'll get a loan in if anything happens to Mildenhall.
Defence - 12th best defence in L2 last season has been largely kept intact. Leadbitter sounds like a good replacement for Smith. Turley would be a class addition. No cover for Brown though.
Midfield - The area that concerns me most as it stands. Regardless of who the new winger is, we still lack goals and creativity here IMO. Think Sinclair and Monkhouse will be two key players for us.
Strikers - Fitness worries over two of them (Brunt & White), but if they can stay fit then they'll score goals with decent service.
Thoughts?
