Godden is not getting any younger. Leaburn now unfortunately has serious question marks over his injury record. Aneke will surely be gone, as will Ahadme. Kanu and Mbick can’t be anything other than fourth / fifth choice. We need to bring in two proven Championship strikers not punts. Midfield was completely bossed today and for me barring Coventry needs a total rebuild. Defence has been our strongest area but we’re stepping up in class and will need a lot more than looking for clean sheets next season. I think Jones knows what’s required but he’ll need the owners to step up too.
GK and back 5 will all be fine. But in front of them I can’t see anyone who’s definitely good enough. Probably only Leaburn if he can get fit and stay fit
Coventry is definitely a good enough player to progress with us into the championship. Godden has the quality but will certainly need rest time

It’s the midfield that needs significant upgrade . Coventry might be ok - will be interesting to see if he’s can step up to the pace . Berry, Docherty and Gilbert I don’t think are good enough . Anderson will have a role to play but not a starter . We will need another striker too
West Ham unloading a few players. Aaron Creswell might be worth a look ?
Mid30s, good call, BUT I am sure he will want to go somewhere where he'll be pretty much guaranteed a regular starting spot .. couldn't see him displacing Edwards
Bigger expectations after the conversation we just had. We are going to give it a real go by the sounds of it. If my spirits weren’t high enough already…

Jones will have a plan. I’m sure the budget will be better than Bowyer had to deal with. Next season will take care of itself later. Enjoy today.
That wouldn’t be difficult - Bowyer was left with a far worse team than the one that won at Wembley
Bowyer had the same problem Orient will have next season, too many loanees at the team's core
Not really- he only lost Bielik as we got Cullen back. Losing Dijksteel, Bauer , Aribo and Vetokele made us worse and the signings bar Gallagher for half a season and Lockyer were pretty poor .
One of the challenges for Bowyer was how late the signings were (a little too late in the case of Hemed). Jones will need players in early to be able to mould them.
We would have been fine in 19/20, if it wasn't for the disastrous takeover, leading to the transfer embargo. As it was, we were 5 minutes from staying up.

indeed, I should have typed 'departures', not 'loanees'
We're a team dangerously short of pace in midfield and attack (bar the obvious exceptions(. That's not going to be an easy (or cheap) issue to remedy but if we don't we're going to get ripped apart in the Championship

On Sky main event every week, due to our dazzling football.
To do the double over Millwall. OK the last bit might be beer talk...
midfield and attack reinforcements, get established, build up the squad and then make a big play for another promotion .. don't try and rush it i m o

Don't bother me, but I know it affects some on here
