Seems to me that a lot of players are quite keen to leave us this summer.
I would say across all the signings we've made, the average level isn't as good as those who have left. Considering our poor form for much of the second half of last season, I can't say I'm at all optimistic.
The defence worries me as neither keeper has much experience at any level and the same goes for the left backs. Are either of them really ready for a full season at this level?
We didn't create much without Zavon and our only solution so far is Chambers who couldn't get a game in the conference.
Let's see who else comes in.
Current Squad
1 more winger (Porter) and I'd say we are done. Maybe another striker (& Boucaud) if funds are available ;)matt_drfc wrote:This is the current squad,
Cousins
O'Brien
Batt
Doe
Saah
Gayle
Partridge
Connors
Green
Bingham
Ogogo
Howell
Labadie
Raymond
Shields
Chambers
Hemmings
Murphy
Cureton
Goldberg
Nouble
Dead right there Matt if we can take the latter two on board as well and give 'em all a bit of time to work in with each other I think WB and his staff may have cracked it, of course until his fully fit wonder if we will add Zavon Hines to it, a fully fit Hines after seeing him a good part of last early to mid season would be some force to reckon with especially joining the 'new look daggers'.
A fit Murphy and the pre-season version of Connors replaced with the proper left back from last season would make that a decent squadmatt_drfc wrote:matt_drfc wrote:This is the current squad,

im happy with the strikers tbh 2 very good strikers plus 2 good potential and we only play 1.
but we finished 9th!
Reason I say that is because I expect Nouble to go out on loan, Goldberg isn't ready to lead the line on his own yet either, can't count on Murphy to stay fit for whole season and Cureton can't play every game, so just think we need a different type of striker, more of a hold up man if we go 2 up front at some points. It's not a massive deal, but it's nice to have different options like we have in different areasmickeyblue wrote:im happy with the strikers tbh 2 very good strikers plus 2 good potential and we only play 1.
unlikely to be done now we have brought Boucard in to the midfield but I think Cureton will play better with a partner than part of a three man attackmatt_drfc wrote:Reason I say that is because I expect Nouble to go out on loan, Goldberg isn't ready to lead the line on his own yet either, can't count on Murphy to stay fit for whole season and Cureton can't play every game, so just think we need a different type of striker, more of a hold up man if we go 2 up front at some points.
