My next target would be central midfield, a player to cover for (and be successor to) Doyle / otherwise cover for Kelly.

I know we've got Maycock, but from what I have seen of him he looks a long way off the standard he needs to get to.

Despite the views of the experts on here, I think the play off games demonstrated the absolute importance of Kelly and Doyle. It'll be even more important next season when you'd imagine teams try and play through midfield a bit more.

Not sure maycock will make it, also have Westbrooke in but agree be good to get another.

For trialists such as Westbrooke to come in they have to be better than what we’ve currently got. I’m afraid this doesn’t bode well for Maycock.

Like the way Robins is doing business. First you hear of anything is when they announce the signing.

Their fans not happy he's gone which has to be a good indication.

Don’t think Westbrooke is trialist.

We will be in the championship again before we know it boys im actually hopeful that we might be back in the premier league again at some stage and to be honest I had resigned myself to never seeing that day again

Really becoming another of the stance of wishing to distance myself from the Premier.

Hoping it goes it alone and the Championship is where the true competition is in the future.

Not sure we would enjoy the Premier much at all to be honest.

I think people need to stop getting carried away. By no means do I think we’ll go down, but mid table next year would be a result and something to build on. Teams like Sunderland, Barnsley, Portsmouth, Charlton etc will have much higher budgets than us and it would be foolish to expect us to finish above them. Don’t get me wrong Robins has done an amazing job, but it would be a miracle if we went up again next season. Would love to be proven wrong though.

Yep, I dont think we will be relegated but I don't think it is going to be a double promotion. Obviously would love to be wrong but not setting myself up for disappointment.

Just read Shrewsbury forum about Brown that they are disappointed he’s gone and shown no loyalty after the club stood by him after a serious knee injury.

Although they wished he stayed, they think its a big risk offering him a 2 year deal when he’s off the back of that injury.

I agree, work hard to get to the prem and then blow it. A solid championship club and I’ll be happy to take stock.

I have heard from a reliable source that our assault on Shrewsbury isn't necessarily over. An offer is on the table for another player but he does have offers elsewhere so its not guarenteed.

Also read that they have no manager, assistant manager and their chief exec is away at the minute so may have made it hard for him to speak to anybody anyway.

You would have thought he would we would have given him a medical and if he came on in the final from the bench he is way further forward than Jones in his recovery.

I read that too. He was under contract, they had no choice but to stand by him, not like they did anything they weren't legally obliged to do.

Errm..... Accrington Stanley?

Not all just about biggest teams and most money etc. and don't forget, we have momentum.

Am expecting a challenge for the top 6. Top 10 will be okay, but I think we may well have a chance of the play off positions.

Don't think anyone is expecting promotion, but do think we can give it a real go.

My concern would be however if he loses a little bit of pace, which is helpful for a fullback to have, especially an attacking one.

Hopefully he doesn't, but signing anybody after they come back from a bad injury is a risk. On the plus side, Stokes has previous experience in a team finishing eighth in league 1, so there's cover if he doesn't live up to the hope.

He's got a brother in boxing.

Look, its just an offer. He's another one out of contract so will have a number of clubs in for him. But we're one of them.

You're right of course but last year, by the time the season started some on here had forgotten those signings and complained that we hadn't signed anyone!
