I think for left back we may look at Luke Garbutt who’s been on loan at Ipswich this season and is bizarrely still contracted to Everton at 27 until the end of the season
I’m pretty sure we’d at least try with Kelly and Fadz as well. It may be that we need to upgrade, but in that case they’d be kept as cover.At the moment these are the ones who could probably cut the mustard in the championship.

Will be interesting to test:
Jobello

Biamou
The rest of the current squad I’m not sure will cut it.
We might get that for one or two matches if we are pushing for the top six but in all honesty we are likely to get far less - 15,000 - 19000 for most matches.IF we’re back at the Ricoh, I think if we can get off to a good start, we’ll have a catalyst for the return of fans. Good start and I think we’ll be averaging around 25k.

If we’re just throwing names out...
Heard about Ebou Adams the other day as he won an EFL Breakthrough Player of the Year award (along with Liam Walsh, might I add) and had a look at him as I’ve never heard of him before. Plays in centre midfield for Forest Green and from the highlight videos I’ve seen on YouTube he seems a pretty decent player. One year left on his deal at Forest Green but may be worth a look.
Just think he struggled with the pace against blues, I'd love him to establish himself in the championship though.I think Kelly is being written off too early. If I was picking our player of the season I would now go for Walsh just pipping Kelly and Dabo. However, Kelly holds things together. He is always available for a pass and very rarely wastes it when he moves it on. I think he is a very clever player, always aware of what's going on around him. I know it was only two games, but him like the rest of the team certainly didn't look out of place against Blues. When he first arrived in League Two I didn't really see anything special or why Orient fans were so positive about him. Since the second half of that season he has been a revelation. As he has no time for sentiment, I am sure Robins will replace him if he sees that Kelly can't hack it. But I think he has a good chance of still being a regular next season if he can stay fit.
We need more pace at the back, I don't think Mason is Championship standard so would replace him,, obviously need to replace Walsh and O'Hare, Marcus Maddison is available for free from Peterborough. I'm not convinced on Shipley, but would give him a season, keep Godden as a back up, but sign at least one more striker. Baka, Hiwula, Kastaneer not good enough.
A lot of clubs will be suddenly be losing a hell of a lot of money, so I think a lot of talented players will be available cheap, may see fringe players being allowed to leave for nothing. Top end league one players will be looking to move on too depending on how the wage cap is bought in.
I've been impressed with Mo Eisa every time I've saw him.
Just on Mo Eisa. I have only seen him in spits and spats, and while he did score the late equaliser against us earlier this season, he was pretty ropey otherwise. He failed to make it in the Championship previously too, and I suspect Godden will score more in the Championship than he would, and is also a better fit for our team as a whole. I think we should only be looking to buy better than we already have. Ivan Toney though would be a different matter!!
Eisa played 22 Championship minutes for Bristol City. Like Walsh, he can’t/couldn’t get into their side but is good at League 1 level
Shippers keeps getting written off and proving us all wrong. I would love him to do it again.... proper Covkid doing the business in the Championship...... luuurvlyWe need more pace at the back, I don't think Mason is Championship standard so would replace him,, obviously need to replace Walsh and O'Hare, Marcus Maddison is available for free from Peterborough.

Championship - End of contract 2020
I still have this feeling Robin's will get ryan Giles on a free.
I just think the whole getting him on loan was with a view to a perm move this summer. He left Shrewsbury where he was on loan and was doing a decent job there to join cov to sit on the bench . . Didnt make much sense by wolves to do that as
He was never going to get ahead of SamMc as he was settled into the system and the getting back on loan was always going to be part of his sale, he stated as much in his signing interview that he wanted to finish the task at cov.

Another season loan possiblyI don’t think so - he’s contracted there until 2022 and has been on the bench for them in the Premier League as recently as January.
He was on the bench as vinagre was carrying a knock and they needed cover but why not just send him back to shrews as he was guaranteed playing time there.I don’t think so - he’s contracted there until 2022 and has been on the bench for them in the Premier League as recently as January.

Having just looked back Robin's said he was a player within the recruitment process, so with us looking like we were going to end up championship bound back in jan I think I they have sent him to settle into team for a season long loan in the championship before his contract runs out in 2022

I think Giles chose us ahead of going back to Shrewsbury, probably would have expected some game time but McCallum was unshiftableHe was on the bench as vinagre was carrying a knock and they needed cover but why not just send him back to shrews as he was guaranteed playing time there.
