He's one of the first names we would look to start improving upon quality wise in the squad.

In terms of outgoings basette rapheal Andrews bidwell and Allen are the ones that come to mind be it permanent or loan and then we replace

In this window I agree that's unlikely but overall they will be the names we looking to move on im sure

I think Raphael has a lot to offer this season.

Andrews definitely needs to go out on loan probably to a League One club.

I do not think Bidwell or Allen will be moved on this season for stability reasons though I think their chances of remaining next season are slim.

Agreed on all that. I think rapheal can help us but think most ideal scenario would be a league 1 loan for him and we bring in a more ready winger

I wish him the very best of luck & hope he can turn his fortunes around.

Come on own up who was this ?

A family member( season ticket holder at Cov) said he thought he was ok, just made a few mistakes towards the end which cost them a few points. Other than that he believes he’ll do well in league one under less pressure.

Hopefully he can rebuild his confidence

Hope he can catch a break if nothing else.

He deserves a break does Collins. Not on it for championship level by any means but turned up and never shirked away from having a go when his confidence was low. Will rebuild at lower league hopefully.

Well, you didn't say that.

And anyway, replacing with whom? Midfield is the area least requiring strengthening; presumably we Allen wouldn't command much of a fee, so why spend transfer budget on an area that doesn't warrant it?

Letting Allen go now would make no sense. If Sheaf and Eccles were fit then maybe, but as they're not, no.

I think the midfield does need strengthening,we got Grimes and he has shown quality so we could do with a player with equal or better quality to compliment him, its our engine room and the link between protecting our defence and providing for our attack. If we want to really progress that must be our aim

No we improved from season prior to make the playoffs

Only because others couldn't take advantage of our poor run in. Lost 5 and drew 1 of the last 10. I think we'd probably have done better with Matty than the batchman really but I'd have played him over Simmo most of time.

It's by far the strongest part of our team.

You should never not want to strengthen, but there are other areas that warrant the outlay more.

It certainly is the strongest part of our team BUT as much as Torp is ok for me I still think a good upgrade/midfield general would certainly push us a little further in games as would a feckin better defence, its not even Christmas yet but they are giving presents out to bloody everyone

Defending set pieces has been our weak link, and we could still be more ruthless in front of goal.

But midfield hasn't been a problem so far, other than not having fresh legs to throw in against Oxford when we looked leggy in the centre during the second half.

But the Oxford game saw us concede from set pieces and also saw Wright miss an absolute sitter when he hit the bar late on.
So it was our usual issues that cost us 2 points, not our midfield.

Im more than happy with Torp, and I think.hes still improving under Lampard.
