24 if u dismiss the Vicar
4 raw academy players Osbourne, Pigott Fox & Lennon (have not included Munns)
So just 20!!! still too light I think

After seeing Fox come into the first team last year, I would count him as a squad player now. He looks more than comfortable and will be excellent cover for Wiggins.

I think we'll be fine. Remember, it's quality, not quantity. I think we have good cover in case someone gets injured. I'd say we should at least be looking at a top half finish this season. There are just too many variables in our squad to predict anything beyond that.

Agree about Fox, real contender for that left side place if Wiggins is as inconsistent or injury prone as last season. Don't want to see a right back playing there again.

Peter the Pole has gone to St Truiden (Below) and Reza has also left the club. We still need another striker, LM and a driving force in the centre of midfield.  I have the current first team squad at 20 so far with three possibly four more needed in the positions in red. I expect it to be closer to two though to be honest. Goalkeepers Stephen Henderson Nick Pope Dillon Phillips Right BacksLawrie Wilson Chris Solly Loïc Négo Centre Backs Michael Morrison Joe Gomez André Bikey-Amougou Tal Ben Haim One more requiredLeft Backs Rhoys Wiggins Morgan Fox Right Midfielders Johann Berg Gudmundsson (Possibly Wilson) Central Midfielders Yoni Buyens Franck Moussa Johnnie Jackson Jordan Cousins One more required Left Midfielders Callum Harriott One more required Strikers Igor Vetokele George Tucudean Simon Church One more required |

I'd agree with your assessment Reams although, depending on the formation we play, we might get away with only needing 2 more (i.e. if we're going 4-4-2 we don't really need 5 central midfielders)

Wilson can occupy both RB and RM but my shout is for Cousins to be considered for the right back spot too which is where he started his career. With all avenues then taken care of at the back maybe we can then step up our search for a goal scoring midfielder who is a bit of a playmaker too. Bahebeck would be ideal as he can play wide and up front so somebody like him would round things off nicely, we do need thos ethree players though.....LM, CM, STR.

Sounds good to me.
Worth remembering we still haven't used the Premier League loan market at all. In fact, aside from Buyens, they're all permies.
I'd have thought we'd sign at least one?

Reams, on your squad, I believe Lennon would be a backup for CB, BP said he preferred Moussa coming in from the left. If he wants young players in the mix he will probably have Munns as backup to CM. I would also expect him to include Piggot as well. I am not saying I disagree with you, but just going along with the talk of young players that BP keeps going on about. I personally would like to see another attacking player midfield or striker

Problem is though Ross, Munns would get chewed up and spat out at this level and we cannot take a chance on Lennon just yet. We need to concentrate on developing Gomez and moulding him into the 4th CB, Lennon's time will come if he is good enough.
I won't waste my time writing about Pigot as I think he is hopeless.

Just thought I would mention thatMorgan Fox is a concerted CB - I would be interested in hearing from Dick whether he could now realistically play as a CB in the 1st team if necessary?

I reckon Morgan Fox could play the role of a left sided central defender. But he is lacking a bit in the air.

We keep saying we need more and more players. I say that we need a striker with Reza gone and MAYBE one more midfielder or defender, otherwise we're good to go.

I agree with Reams, CM driving force, striker, left winger.
Seems strange when there are three on Reams list but I actually think we also need another right back too. Mainly because I would like to see Wilson fight it out for RW where he is best, I don't rate Nego and would like to see him loaned out and Solly just won't play enough games.

We need to give Cousins a refresher at RB because I agree, Solly will play one in 4 and Nego is a bit raw though he is improving, looks good going forward, he just lacks a bit of awareness defending.. |

Joe Gomez can play right back - so can Ben Haim if it came to it. |

I think we'll sign this Andy Robinson... Sounds like a player who can operate all over the midfield. Don't like the fact we've got a Wycombe wanderers reject on trial, sounds desperate! I really think we cud sign Chris Woods tho even on loan. This bahebeck thing is strange, if we put in a bid that wos rejected by PSG (who can buy anyone) it must mean the've been promised a bigger fee by someone like arsenal? Why don't arsenal but him and loan him to us? I'd rather that then but him and he flops! What about jay Emmanuel Thomas? Someone like that?
