    24/25 changes?

    The O'hare saga will mean Doug won't want any more key players reaching their last year. I think Sheaf will move on. If Gyok goes too we'll have a very nice transfer purse. I actually think one of the priorities should be another first choice winger. There is a growing trend of teams rotating...

    Ellis Simms

    More game time doesn’t always equal quicker progress. Time on the training ground out of the limelight can be more important. For the same reason, Biamou kept Gyok out of the team during his loan spell.

    Ellis Simms

    The exciting thing about both Simms & Wright is I think they’ll keep getting better. We’re gonna have two absolute monsters in our forward line from the start next season.

    Think he could be good to take the 5th choice CM spot. We need young promising players who can learn over 12-18 months and take the mantle once our starters move on. Brighton do this perfectly (look at Caicedo). Need to start thinking a few transfer windows ahead.

    24/25 changes?

    People are worried about squad churn again if we sign 6-8 players aren’t considering the different states of our squad going into this summer. Already on the first day next season we can play: Collins MvE Thomas Kitching Bidwell Sheaf (hopefully) Eccles Saka Palmer Wright Simms We can start...

    Kitching was great earlier in the season. Clearly lost his way a bit but hopefully next season he can kick on and consistently reach those levels again.

    Don't think Robins got it wrong at all. The plan was always to stay in the game until we could get our best players on who didn't have 90 in them. Nearly worked. Problem is we don't have a squad to fall back on to make that many changes and be a competitive team - especially with passengers...

    Definitely need a leader at the back - whether than is an experienced GK or CB I'll leave that to the recruitment team. Haven't checked the stats but it has felt like the amount of errors leading to goals is a lot higher than last year.

    Not going to hound our lads for mistakes when they were clearly mentally and physically fucked. Was always going to be a step too far.

    3 gifts. Heads definitely aren't in it.

    24/25 changes?

    We've already built a squad capable of reaching the play offs next year with 3/4 additions to fill the gap left by departures. However I don't think MR will be happy with that. I think he'll be pushing for players who will take us to the next level - even if that does mean favourites from this...

    24/25 changes?

    I think we'll do more business than people think. 1. CB 2. CM 3. CAM 4. FWD (covers ST and the wings like Wright) are minimum. 5. CM 6. LB 7. CB 8. RB 9. GK I think we'll go for if both Sheaf & Gyok both move this summer (won't necessarily get them all - depends on the right deal presenting...

    Summer transfer/squad plans 2024

    Think we need to expect 1 to go each summer. Will be Sheaf this summer & probably MvE next. Use the money to sign 3 or 4 (and get a couple of frees each year to bulk out the squad) and we'll keep getting better.

    Wembley team last time

    I think last years team would win in a game between the two. However, the squad is in an infinitely better place now moving into next summer.

    Formation Next Season

    If playoffs are mathematically gone with a couple games to spare I would like to see us test a few different tactics in our last games. Eccles/Lati as inverted RB Binks LB 4-3-3 with Torp floating between 8 & 10 4-4-2 with Wright/Simms

    Formation Next Season

    Midfield is key next season. We need to protect the defence more while controlling games better. Even during our amazing run this season it felt like a lot of games were won based on us having superior quality in attack rather than controlling the game and really limiting the opposition...

    Perspective

    No loan signings in Jan did make our task incredibly difficult. However, if we have an extra 1m-2m in the summer window instead I'm OK with us wanting to develop our own. Not sure we would have got promoted with another 2 players anyway - think this squad needs longer to develop these young...

    Perspective

    Predicted we'd finish 8th so happy with this transitional season. The FA Cup run has been a real bonus - albeit probably has harmed our league form. If we start playing before November next season we'll comfortably be in the play offs next year for me. With a bigger, more settled squad this...

    Transfer targets

    Viveash hinted at this a little in his interview - he said Torp is an 8 (not 6 or 10) and said Palmer can also play as an 8. Think Torp would benefit massively from an extra body in the middle and less of a defensive area to cover. Could be a smart move to shift to 4-3-3 next year, especially...

    Transfer targets

    Would very much be in our interests for them to fall short in the play offs if we're keen on a second player. Although if they do come up its a guaranteed 6 points next season.
