Dobra can tackle but who in their right mind would put joint top scorer in a defensive role

[hilly81]

He’s been mentioned on here by me and at least a couple of others but I hope Harrison Burke at Chester is on our radar. Good defender and a massive threat at the other end as well. 10 goals from centre back this season with another today

I get the feeling our transfer targets will be higher league quality than non league nuggets..unless they are at an age where they wouldn’t impact the squad size & be part of a ‘wider’ squad

[Waller is my hero]

The centre half from Canada will be reassessed….we require talented young centre half.
The right back situation will be a priority
Metcalfe will 100% be on the radar
Olekigbe maybe a possible consideration for permanent or season long loan
Boot has been tremendous since he got his opportunity, but we will see another keeper arrive
Young talented striker also on the list

dobra is an outstanding attacking talent and his work rate for a flair player is awesome but to pull him away from the area of the pitch where he does his best and most damaging work is not something i think would be a smart move, i think you give dobs a free role and build a team around getting him on the ball as often as possible in attacking areas.

Never build a team around one player, he gets a season long injury and you’re up the creek without a paddle

Yeah, I appreciate Bonnyman suggests 'thinking outside of the box' but when you have Dobra, with skills that make him a real threat in attacking roles, I don't see the sense in moving him to a role whereby defensive assets are required foremost as his primary role would be defensive. Sometimes it is worth leaving that square peg in the square hole.

I totally agree, leave Dobra in their half, not ours. Lovely balanced player who can beat anyone marking him on his day, but as a holding midfielder, no, he'd get knocked about by some of the mascots in that position.

Soooo, this time tomorrow we will know if we will be L2 for another season for definite or be given a longer season.
Whichever happens it is going to be a very interesting close season, hopefully a successful one from a quality and attitude perspective.
Looking forward to it whatever.COYB
