Bidwell as well?
We should get Andrews to learn off Grimes as well.
Bidwell as well?Eccles?
Eccles?
Bidwell signed a new deal, think Dasilva will make way before him.
Got a feeling we move on Sheaf and Eccles this summer. Allen may actually get a new contract, probably deserves one more than other players that have got one recently.Sell him, behind Sheaf and Allen for me.
If we are after that sort of player , then depending on how the season pans out ie. we go up and the blades don't , then Vini Souza always impresses meEbou Adams doesn't get close to our 11, dunno why this forum is so big on him after one shite game at Pride Park tbh.
Thought fun to have a quick look to see if I could find players for this.Priorities:
1) Starting LB. MVE-type with pace to burn who can defend solidly and support attacks.
2) Combative all-action midfielder. Ebou Adams showed exactly what we're lacking. A physical ball-winner with stamina and athleticism to get all around the pitch.
3) CB. Someone with a bit of pace. If we're going to play a high line we need to get quicker at the back.
4) RW and RB competition.

Sheaf goes you probably will need an understudy for Grimes as you say. Don’t think it’s beyond the realm of possibility we see both Eccles and Sheaf goingFeel like as it stands you’ve sort of got a 6/8/10 with Grimes/Sheaf, Allen/Eccles, Rudoni/Torp with their best positions. So I think if Sheaf goes you need a more defensive playmaker replacement than a box to box.

Take a look
Who would you be confident could step up if we were promoted? Dovin MVE Haji for sure. Grimes Torp Rudoni EMC possibly, Sheaf? Thomas? Sakamoto?
First three maybe, but will have to improve their consistency. No one else IMO
Dovin , MvE and Wright are good enough . One of our starting centre backs but would need a quicker partner . EMC and Rudoni have the potential too but would worry about Grimes and Torps physicality.Who would you be confident could step up if we were promoted? Dovin MVE Haji for sure.

Lets be realistic if we went up the likes ofDovin , MvE and Wright are good enough . One of our starting centre backs but would need a quicker partner . EMC and Rudoni have the potential too but would worry about Grimes and Torps physicality.
Why? The wages he'd command are just not worth it.Would like Callum Doyle back for our LB/CB
Realism is definitely the key if we do go up. Financially it isnt worth going up and spending millions on players for the small chance of staying up. Of course we need reinforcements to compete but not to the long term detriment of the clubs finances.Lets be realistic if we went up the likes of
Dovin,
MVE
One of Kitching and Thomas
Grimes
Sheaf (If he stays)
Rudoni
Wright
Would all be starting week in week out. We couldnt afford to upgrade them, the money would be better spent on upgrading other positions and depth.
This depends on whether we get promoted. Personally I would offer Allen an extension and look to sell BTA over SimmsRelease list.
Taveres
Burroughs
Howley
Collins
Allen (dependant on his performances from here)
Sold
Eccles or sheaf
Simms (I think we will get rid of 1 striker and I don't think it will be either of wright or Bassett)
Needed
Right back (for back up comp and move rest days)
Left back (need a proper #1 left back and get rid of da Silva)
I think also we will need a new winger either a star or a back up that can fill both sides.
Yes: Dovin, Grimes, Rudoni, HajiWho would you be confident could step up if we were promoted? Dovin MVE Haji for sure. Grimes Torp Rudoni EMC possibly, Sheaf? Thomas? Sakamoto?
Think it’s a bit of a trap as there are players like Delap who can step up but it takes time which newly promoted sides don’t have as it’s a baptism of fire.You’ve got to spend big and try and stay up IMO. Look at Luton, there’s no guarantees you are strong when you come back down.
Get a few key players in along the spine and a couple of loans at least. I’m not convinced you should be building a championship all stars team as most players are there for a reason.

You basically need an entire new spine after getting promoted. Championship CBs aren't quick or smart enough, CMs aren't athletic or good enough on the ball, and strikers need to be athletic, elite finishers.You’ve got to spend big and try and stay up IMO.
