Trying to inject a bit of positivity here as I am proper down after yesterday

What have we got to look forward to?

We should be favourites?

Couple of new places to visit in Kidderminster and St Albans? (hoping they win the play offs as they are proper clubs, proper pitches etc)

If we hold onto Dobra, Colclough etc we will be up there? I think Dallas will certainly play in the FL, and rightly so.

I don’t think we need wholesale changes, a centre half with some pace, keeper and striker for me. Would sign Akinola up if we can

We need someone in the middle of the park who can dictate just like Bostock did yesterday.

We will be clear favourites with the bookies to win the league and really we should do it. Cook has the summer to tinker and I fully expect us to get 90+ points next season and win it without any sides remotely capable of doing what the top 2 did this season.

We've already been to Kidderminster when they were a league team won 1-0 night game

[gordon_brittas]

Sort the home form out, and set out to attack and and kill off sides when we are 1-2 nil up, two many dropped points and daft goals conceded this season, too many points dropped from winning positions. Too much sitting back and trying to kill the game off inviting pressure.

New goalkeeper, new centre half (would love Sowumni from Bromley to sign) and two new strikers if Dallas doesn’t sign.

I can only realistically see Oldham challenging, and there main achilleas heal is Unsworth being manager.

John Howard scored but I thought it was 2-0?

Correct.
2-0 Breckin and Howard.

I wà there was it 23 yr ago .fluffy got one,can't remember second

[The Earl of Chesterfield]

The lesson learned is we have to be ruthless and relentless.

Cut out the giveaway goals and put ordinary outfits to the sword.

Unless summat changes between now and August there'll be no Wrexham buying promotion. That said there're still clubs like Oldham and Southend more than capable of matching us should they get it right. Meanwhile the Bormwoods and Bromleys of the league will always be competitive.

As said elsewhere we've the basis of a table topping team, a manager who knows how to recruit and top crowds backing 'em. Some big earners off the wage bill this summer, too.


Yesterday was a real kick in the crown jewells, but I'm really happy about where our club are going...

[Bankrobber]

AFC Fylde
Aldershot
Altrincham
Barnet
Boreham Wood
Bromley
Chesterfield
Dagenham
Dorking
Eastleigh
Ebbsfleet
Gateshead
Halifax
Hartlepool
Maidenhead
Oldham
Rochdale
Solihull
Southend
Wealdstone
Woking
York

St Albans or Oxford City and Kidderminster or Brackley to add

[Trigger]

We will have more money to spread around when the ooc players leave. (How much have we had out/not played all season?)

Also the club podcast, did I hear we have invested 250k in to the training ground? And our winless run in Feb coincided with the training pitches being out of use.

We won't sign players unless they make us stronger and we can realisticly (no disrespect, cos of where we are) strengthen in almost every position

[Paragon of Virtue]

I would love to see us bring in a centre half who is comfortable bringing it out from the back. Would solve a lot of our issues

[stainlessstephen]

I think the side is pretty much there, obviously who stays, goes and arrives will be a factor. Two things for me that need ironing out; cutting out the silly errors and not dropping as many unnecessary points at home.

[DMU Blue]

I think we’ll see a retained/released list early next week.

New GK
New RB & LB
New CM
New ST

Hopefully we’ll be able to compete with L2 clubs wage wise for Dallas.
Critical we hold onto Colclough.

Expect a few under contract players to be moved on too

I wonder if Jones will do another year? Thought he was excellent again yesterday. His fitness is remarkable.

[Brookie]

Dallas is a good player but not convinced he fits in with us. Maybe a close season would improve understanding between him and rest of team. If he goes elsewhere I wouldn’t be too disappointed

Agree with that. He was a key part of the team yesterday, if he isnt here next year he is first that needs replacing.

Kabby money to come in, asante and whelan I'd expect.

I don't think we'd stand in mandys way should we receive an acceptable bid.

Don't think shecklford will wanna be playing 2nd fiddle to King all season again and may force a move.

Gyasi doesn't look good enough to me and he couldn't make the alti squad let alone 1st 11.

Horton may stay as clements back up if maguire leaves (not sure what the management think about LM for next season, OOC).

Williams seems to be massively out of favour and could see a swap plus cash deal for someone like showumi.

Rowe were stuck with I think.

And quigley? 7 goals (3 vs Scunthorpe). If someone offers we should take, unless we can turn him in to some sort of explosive winger.

Banks should be doing that, he has the skill/ability if he looked to move the ball forward more often.
