I think we are all anticipating or at least hoping that we make some exciting additions to our side over the summer.
We will see a few move on, which will make are already light squad that bit smaller.
I will go ahead and say Lumnley and Sweeney would be welcomed additions whether that be season long loan or on a permanent deal. Hoping we at quickly there.
To really strengthen this season, I do believe we are going to have to splash some cash. There have been a few players that have come up against us this season, that I wouldn't mind seeing in the Blue and White quarters, to bring them in we are obviously going to need to pay up.
I will be disappointed if we take the approach of waiting for all the players to be released on frees and pick up players that way. Yes some might pay off but doesn't scream we know who we want and are going to get them.
Main focus for us as well as Lumnly and Sweeney has to be our strikers. Who do we bring in?
I personally would like to see us bring 2 up and coming strikers in as well as an experienced head.
The lad from Dover would be good fit, scoring goals for fun still. He is one exciting prospect.
Another could be Maidenheads Dave Tarpey. Perhaps bit of a risk bit seems to know where the net is and Videos of him are quite impressive..

Christian Doidge from FGR? 23 goals so far. Ex Rovers youth and DC tried to sign him before he went to Dagenham. Aged 24 and 6ft2. Ticks a lot of boxes and presumably fits DCs criteria as he went for him before.

Love it how you say you don't want us to sign players in frees, but then suggest 2 non league players who will be out of contract and on a free. Both have scored goals this season and could be worth a shot. Think Tarpey is about 28 though? Looks good on YouTube, but loads of players do, then don't make it. We signed a player a few seasons ago and he looked great on there, then he was rubbish for us. Can't remember who it was now.

I think the problem with the couple of players you've mentioned would be risky in the sense that they have probably only got a couple of years left at the top of their game so wouldn't have much time to prove themselves at a higher level. I prefer kentgas's suggestion of Christian Doidge because his age is more appropriate meaning he's got the potential to play at a higher level. I suggested Charlie Wyke in January and he has turned out to be a brilliant buy so far for Bradford and has the potential to keep improving.
I think young players in League Two/Conference is definitely the way to go for a club like ours with limited resources, especially when looking at attacking players. Cameron Mcgeehan (Luton) would've been brilliant but unfortunately broke his leg a few months ago so may be a bit riskier now. Danny Johnson (Gateshead) and James Alabi (Chester) are the sort of people I would be keen on us signing. UTG!

Not sure what's the point of suggesting random players, let's just leave it to DC & Co to make those decisions, after all who on here would have suggested he signed Lumley & Sweeney in January??

Ticks a lot of boxes and presumably fits DCs criteria as he went for him before. Defo a DC player - he's very articulate and intelligent. Wasn't he their kit man or something?!

Perhaps he doesn't meet the Darrell Clarke philosophy.

He has scored too many goals for us to take him on.
I think the criteria is that you have to have scored 5 goals or less in the last 3 years but 1 must have been against us. Or something like that.

But chose D&R over us, and for that i'd say no.

Nobody's trying to tell DC who to sign. Its just people offering their views in a discussion, basically the definition of a forum.

DC did say he knew his targets back in early Jan - would try and get them in for that window or otherwise wait to the end of the season. Hopefully these are players other than Sweeney and Lumley

'Cos it's a forum? Anyway... I'd be surprised if Matt Godden at Stevenage didn't get a move to a L1 club this summer (if they don't go up, that is). Banged them in for Ebbsfleet before joining Stevenage at the start of this season, and has scored 20 goals in 34 L2 games so far. Only 25 too. Reckon DC will at least have had a look at him.

With ref to this years summer signings -- I would like to see the following unfold :-
1. Release/Offload Mildenhall,Mansell,Gosling,Moore & Easter
2. Return to Parent club Clarke - Salter & James
3. Loan In Sweeney 4. Purcase Lumley Either Marquis ( Donny ) Taylor ( Dons ) or Miller ( Dover ) as the big striker Either Berry ( Camb ) Kee ( Accy) or Vaughn ( Bury ) as the small striker.
Plus we need also to purchase/loan another goalie to back up Lumley A winger to replace Moore and a midfielder to replace Mansell.Rest of this seasons squad to stay with us.

Godden's an interesting one. Hope we are in the mix for him. Signed a 2 Year contract last summer so Stevenage may be keen to get a fee whilst they can.

I imagine Lumley will want to try his luck back at QPR before deciding whether to go out on loan or leave.
Rather than waiting for a decision why not sort the keeping situation out early by signing Neil Etheridge.
Free Agent. Get it done Darrell.

Miller is quite a small guy so he'd be your 'small striker' and Lyle Taylor is tall but shouldn't be played as a 'big striker' he's not the physical presence, I like the look of Vaughn.. tho he doesn't look very small lol
