We need 2 wingers who ideally can play in attacking midfield also.
Next season squad if we stay up... (5 Viewers)

He isn’t getting better every game and mcnulty scored 13 of his 28 goals without him on the pitch - he has played with Godden this season
It clear we have to recruit a number 9 who is more mobile and capable over a consistent number of games.

If Sam belonged to us, I'd have no hesitation keeping him, but as he isn't I'd get our own permanent replacement. He is still fairly new to the game and I think his improvement has been incredible. Big difference in the level of players he is up against. Don't get many Ismael Sarr's in league 1. Agree with most re: a new 'big' keeper (I want one of those 6'5" lumps that towers over everybody). a new Centre back (maybe 2) - assuming Osti's off, Would like to see Pask being given a go there to see how he copes. Sign James, one new main striker.
My wild card would be to go and re-sign Luke Thomas (cheap) as a poor man's Callum O'Hare to help him in the harrying games, when needed (or if he gets injured), To me he would be more effective at that than Jamie Allen, Shippers etc in that role.

Sell Walker, let Baka go, Keep Max and Godden and get a top notch striker in on top Ricoh season ticket dollar like Joao of Reading

If Norwich go up then we could end up resigning him.

There’s no way he’s going to sell Walker and then have Biamou as 3rd choice, it’s pure fantasy.

The club won't sell walker, they look at his goalscoring history, see his age and see him as an assett with future market value ... It's up to the club to get the best from him as he has the ability

Of course it is, like having Biamou as our first choice striker at the moment.
Walker's body language on and off the pitch is suspect in my opinion and I don't believe our style of play suits him. Just an opinion.

If you want to include injured players where would we be if we'd had Jones the last couple of seasons...?

Il be honest, I have no idea, I need to see him play championship football...
Our squad with its best players available is okay and relatively young even Godden, James and Kelly are just 29/30, there will be a lot of quality released freebies available at the end of the season so it could be a buyers market and I think there could be quality loans available from the prem too imo our owner needs to seriously look at the budget MR is given, I don’t think the huge contracts around at the moment will repeated cloth is going to have to be cut certainly below the Premiership.
As for squad strengthening in my opinion we need to look at the left hand side of the defence and left side midfield get some pace that side but the important one is striker even if we keep Walker & Godden we need another one direct with pace.
Not sure what’s coming through the ranks we have new left back Josh Reid and forwards Fabio Taveres & Will Bapapa and fingers crossed a fully fit Jodie Jones who could be a welcome bonus.

It’s the same nonsense that was levelled at Stern John.

First sighting this spring of the pointless 'we need two wingers' mantra. What would you do with Dabo if you had a right winger?

He would play right back in back 4. We cannot go into next season only being able to play 5 at the back. It’s hampered us this year and will continue to do so. We need options. Ideally, they could play in attacking midfield and fit the box too. Or they could play wing back as well like Giles.

fair point. We have reasonable prospects of bids for Baka, Max, Pask, Mason and Hyam (of those I would prefer to see go) in which case we should take them.

What a waste of Dabo - to play him as a conventional right back. Meanwhile further up field you have someone who is probably inferior to him. hmm.

I can’t see Hyam going anywhere he is clearly one of Robins favourites, even though he has struggled this season.
Remember we have DaCosta too.

Dabo hasn’t contributed in an attacking sense for weeks really anyway. And what when he’s injured?
We need options, we cannot be hamstrung into playing a back 5 every week

He’s not a winger

Bakayoko biamou and I think mason are out of contract - Hyam is but we have an option

This forum and accurate definitely does not go. We won yesterday what was a tough game and we gave a very good account of our selfs and it still doesn't please some people and they think they know better than our own coaching team. enjoy the result and win....PUSB

If the coaching team knew better all the time, what’s the point of the forum?
Well in fairness he isn’t left-sided and it shows at times also has had a number of different players in front of him and has had two rookie left backs next to him imo. I think Michael Rose fully fit is the better player but Hyam might be okay playing right side centre back.

There's plenty of reasons for this forum,
I understand a good debate is healthy, but some of the shit spilled on here sometimes just plain ridiculous for me most of the time I ignore it but sometimes it's hard not to

Id go for
Jaydon Stockley - probably a fee - As the new number 9
Alex pritchard from Huddersfield as O'Hare Mould - free agent
Jamie Paterson Bristol City, similar to ohare also - free agent ( and a cov lad and fan)
One of Tom Carroll QPR / Barry Bannan Wednesday/ Henri Lansbury Bristol City/ Jon toral Blues/ Liam Walsh for centre midfield- all free agents (if as expected James doesnt return and we flog Hamer)
Feel we need to do all we canto get Ostigard
If we spend the budget wisely there are some decent players out there for free. Yes i know some will be on high wages, but if we can avoid paying a fee why not use higher wages for proven championship players?

This forum is strange... sell our top scorer and keep Biamou. Biamou should only stay to pad out the squad

I don’t know what your point is then? I said we need to have the option of playing wingers next season. Da Costa isn’t one and isn’t good enough anyway but that’s another argument
