We don't need 9 new players - even you said 8 this morning - we need 5 to compete and that assumes both Keogh and Cranie go. Squads at this level are smaller. If Thorn signs the correct players (most critically a goalscorer and a central midfielder) there is no way we should be below the likes of Bury, Stevenage etc.
Yep I said 8 this morning when I though McPake would come back. Looks like he is off as
well.
Pretty much everyone agreed our squad was too small last season even including SISU
If we lose Cranie, Keogh, McPake, Clingan, on top of Nimley and Norwood
Thats six out and you want us to sign 5
So you want a already to small squad to lose 6 players 5 of whom were arguably the best players last season and replace them with 5?
Cant see your logic really.
We got injuries last season and it screwed us why are we not going to get injuries in league one?
I accept the players that replace those that leave dont have to be just as good. They just need to be good enough to perform in league one. Nevertheless we need to replace the six that go and we need at least 3 on top to try and have a medium sized squad
