so with TW's in mind, what positions would you be looking to improve for next season, dependent on what league we are in? Anyone particularly caught the eye or any names people would like to venture out there?

Key requirements for me are an experienced keeper and new left back if we are to stay down here, with a new right back, centre mid and one or two wingers if we went up.

Otis · May 1, 2018

For the reasons you state I cannot say until I know what division we are going to be in.

All depends on where we finish.

Goalkeeper certainly regardless of division, probably a left back and potentially a replacement for Doyle

Intrigued to see how Kelly would preform without Doyle, does he have it in him to be more of a leader, he was the Orient captain when we signed him right?
Not sure I'm completely sold on McNulty as a league 1 striker but he deserves a chance. Priorites ranked from P1 (most required) to P6 (least)
L1
P1
P4 Davies Willis P2
JJ Bayliss Kelly/P5 P3
Andreu
McNulty/P6

L2
P1
Grimmer Davies Kelly P2

Edited now, it didn't like me lining up my 2 teams side by side

So do we get to play more players in League One??? Maybe this is why we were relegated?! :woot::wideyed:

TomRad85 · May 1, 2018

Rather than bringing in a load and spreading the wages thin i'd rather get in a good quality (relevant to the league we're in) keeper, left back, centre mid (replacing Doyle and striker.

SkyBlueCRJ · May 1, 2018

Regardless of what league we're in, both my lists came to fairly similar conclusions. With exception to the CB and ST positions:
League Two:
GK
LB
CB (Only if Willis leaves)
RM
CM x2 (If Bayliss leaves)
LM
ST (x2 if McNulty leaves)

League One:
GK
LB
RM
CM x2 (If Bayliss leaves)
LM
ST

Note: This does not include potential additions to the U23's.

Nope, Kelly/P5 and McNulty/P6 means either/or hence them being lower priority than just P1 on its own.

sw88 · May 1, 2018

Goalkeeper, RM/W, Striker, replacement for Doyle although I’d keep him on too but not sure he’d manage as many games in L1 (seen him strapped up too many times this season).

Liquid Gold · May 1, 2018

We need to get Bakes signed up to a 10 year contract before someone else slips in.

Mucca Mad Boys · May 1, 2018

It depends what our goals are next season, and that is obviously dependent on what league we're in. However, one area I think we need to strengthen regards of what level we're playing at is on the wings. We need another 1-2, most likely a natural right footer as a deputy to Jones (hopefully we keep him), a second winger is dependent on whether we resign Reid or not, and if we're in L2 I'd resign him as he's got a good amount of assists off the bench.

In League 1, assuming we keep this team together, I think we'd need to strengthen at:
- GK (low priority)
- CB and LB
- CM, someone in the mould of Vincelot, I'd keep Doyle as a player-coach I think
- RM and LM probably (depends on MR's judgement on Reid)
- ST? Unsure on this one, JP could be ready for a breakthrough season, Biamou could might contribute and JCH has played in this league before

Just having Jones and Andreu back will change the dynamic of the team and I could even see us playing 4-2-3-1 with Andreu behind McNulty.

skybluesam66 · May 1, 2018

My top 4 are
GK
2 Full backs
Winger (opposite side to jones)

Re: the amount of people asking for a new GK; Burge has been picked by a number of managers while here, and was the L2 TOTY goalkeeper. He isn't as shit as some people make out, especially at this level. It's not like we can go out and replace him with Shilton or Clemence or John Filan now, is it?

I am with you on this, he is gaining experience and is better than he was a few years ago. He certainly isn't the best you can get in league one if we get there but I'd be looking at a top quality substitute for Doyle and a bit more pace on the wing as first priorities. I imagine JCH will sign if we go up, that seems to be Robins intention all along and if the 4 strikers we have are retained they'll probably have to do, you never know Ponticelli might take league one by storm.

So if I’m reading all this correctly it points to Beavon P45?

I love reiterating this point on the number of managers voted, there is at least 4-5 good value keepers in this league so as few as 5 votes could of won the vote from the other 23 members voting

Hardly a land slide.

PS I think your taking the senior keeper a bit far.

Mohammed Eisa from Cheltenham is a MUST IMO

CovLis86 · May 1, 2018

Regarding keepers, Mcormick is being released by Plymouth this season. Think he's about 34. But we'll experienced, great shot stopper, was born in Coventry (I believe) would command that back line. Could be good for a season or two with burge learning from him. What do people think?

Released by his club, or from prison again?

Do you go to games?

If you do are you like many of us and close your eyes when the ball goes close to Burge?

Maybe we can cash in on him then!
