What do we need going forward, transfer-wise?

Left back is constantly the position that everyone says needs strengthening

Yet Sean Morrison seemed to think on Sky on Thursday that lt was a right back we needed.

So having one who can play both sides is a good call

Nobody has mentioned the most important thing......the willingness by the owner to loosen the purse strings.

Sounds like that time we signed Robbie James and Kevin Ratcliffe.

That’s him, we need someone like that who can help soften up a few of these old hands at CB that Salech and Robinson are having to face this season.
Same for us at the back, we need an experienced Sean Morrison no nonsense type of CB to help take the pressure off the likes of Lawlor and Fish

Wintle in both games so far showed his set peice balls are still poor - whilst he seems a Lg1 DM his quality for a dead ball is non existant. I think Robertson might go so if one comes in, a decent delivery from 40yard freekicks would help

Before his loan to Millwall, Wintle was taking flak for his poor set-piece deliveries (remember last season when he hit two consecutive dead-ball kicks straight at the opposition and then had the gall to turn to the crowd and tell them to pipe down?). His passing in open play is also limited. So who in their right mind would think we need to get Wintle on the ball for set-pieces?

He took the free-kick awarded for Salech getting a kick to the mouth. It wasn't a ludicrous distance to have had a try, at least force a save from the 'keeper. Instead, he pushes the ball out wide to Tanner, who then returns it to Wintle, who is now in a slightly forward position, but he hits a poor 'shot' straight at a Vale player in the box.

I don't know why we don't just stick Colwill on all of the attacking free kicks, proven himself capable of taking them and its hardly like he's a dominant presence in the box

2: A LB cover for Bagan. Collins and Rinomhota are both gone, and we're screwed if Bagan gets injured or suspended, and Bagan is a card magnet. Obviously, the higher quality, the better.

3: A winger with quality crossing and ability to playmake. One that is adaptable to play either wing is ideal, but we can make it work. I'd personally pair him with Ashford, with Davies and Tanner as substitute options. Willock can be a reserve/in emergency, break glass for the season.

At the moment a friggin’ miracle.

We need to sign players even just to ease the pressure on the youngsters who, all of a sudden, from being on the fringes of the squad, are now first choice.

Utterly bizarre, scored a brilliant free kick against Peterboro and then didn't take any of the free kicks in the next game, including at least one from a similar area. You'd have thought the fact that Wintle is proven to be shite at dead balls and the threat that he scored from there the previous game he'd be an obvious choice.

I suspect that the fact he's got some height means he's shoved in the box, but like you said he's no threat to score.

Winger
Left Back
Defensive mid

All of them quick, all of them to start. A centre half would be my next option with Daland to leave. We need pace, we are crying out for it. 3 quick players would transform us, I'd love a quick defensive mid who can receive the ball off the back 4 but also just give it to the better players and break up play.

Yup, you and I can see it.

We need a centre back who can head the ball…..asap.

Personally, I would play Daland ahead of Chambers every time. At least he seems to have some potential.

Players, to leave. Turnball Alnwick Howarth possibly Daland
