I?m not sure I?d want to rely on Sheckleford as first choice RB. I tend to think we will sign another RB as first choice. If not, Williams should be kept as he can cover at RB if necessary whereas Palmer is strictly a one position man.

As such, if any RCB is to be moved on from what we?ve got it should be Palmer as I think we should be signing another RCB who is likely to be first choice.

Additionally, I think a LCB is essential either to be first choice or to be good enough to keep Grimes on his toes so to speak. Currently, we only have one LCB and one LB in the squad.

We have to remember that once the window closes we cannot sign anyone until January so have to ensure we have enough options and/or cover until then. As such, and that?s why, I would expect a few promising U21 players to arrive who will not be counted as part of our 22 but, nevertheless, would boost our squad numbers.

I have a feeling that both Williams and Mandy will be the backup right back, with a promising under 21 to make the numbers up. As for the left side of defence, I'll be interested to see who comes in because we can only have 22 in the squad plus under 21's and goalkeepers, and unless we move players on, we aren't going to be able to bring in experienced defenders.

Usually, players who have been released will sign as soon as they want. Players at the end of their contract and been offered a new deal wait until their current contract has run down.

Like Madden who by all accounts was offered an extra year at Stockport?

And when he declined it, they withdrew it so they could move on in the transfer market..

What do you mean the Sam morsy who has capped 9 times by Egypt in internationals, that?s a pre poor comparison

Who did you mean? The Jamie Grimes who has played in L2 for both Cheltenham and Macc.

Ffs he got released by Cheltenham our defence has been an absolute liability, he has been the best central defender but you can?t say with confidence he will be comfortable in the league above
