Priority now must be an attacking midfielder 

We’ve already got Berry & Carey - we won’t be signing anyone else for that role.

It's the Docherty position that needs strengthening

Player on a downward trajectory, just like they will be this season

How vile

PFA TEAM FREE AGENTS TEAM for the 1st Half - 1 nil up after 10 mins 

Sam Cosgrove opens the scoring assist Dylan  McGeouch (who has been very good in the 1st ten mins covered a lot of the pitch) 

Proud day for the Rialist family.

Twins.

Had confirmed the team sheet had two misspellings both identically missing the starting letter ‘T’ - which is quite typical in a friendly game - players being trialled, not the misspelling of the word to describe such players…

Miles being fit and firing wouldn't stop me still wanting another striker in the building, would want someone more in the poacher mould like the sniffer dog. 

I think we will want another big man. Whenever plan A didn’t work last season we subbed Aneke on and hit long balls. We need someone for that. Leaburn can compete with Godden for one of the starting roles and is also a good impact player from the bench but we can’t rely on him being fit so need another big man 

And Miles isn't just a big lump up front, indeed he's a bit wasted playing if just used as a battering ram. 

Exactly, he’s better if you get the ball into his feet. We need someone else to be the battering ram to replace Aneke for that impact role 

Miles is a weird one really as in someone who is supposedly 6'7 he's not that great in the air but is skilful with his feet. 

I'd say he's about 6'5, think the club are exaggerating his height a bit with that figure.  

Why would they lie about that?

 Exactly, not like a guy to exaggerate anything by a couple of inches...🙄

I find it incredibly funny that the one Like on this post (at time of writing) is from "littleaddick"

We need some premiership loans , look at what we do for their careers , seems jones hasn’t been linked with one though 

Premiership clubs may be reluctant to send their young prospects to play hoofball.

I expect we will sign one or two, though. Every club needs a couple of Smiths in the squad, and I do not think we have any coming through the academy at present?

Aleks Starcenko 

Sounds like a made up name from Pro Evolution Soccer.😄

Surprised that Cosgrove can't find a club. Ok his form at Barnsley was pretty terrible but he's only 28 and surely still good enough for a league 2 club.

In an ideal world I would still like

1x starting CM -box to box
1x starting RWB - artacking in the style of small
1x winger -to compete with TC and give us option of a different formation, probably a prem loan
1x back up CDM
1x back up RWB 

The last 2 are more nice to haves as we have others that can cover more than one role in those places. But I'm just worried it's the championship. Its much tougher than last time we were here. You need a big squad and depth. I'd rather not have 2 people covering multiple roles if can be avoided.

Agree other than the winger being a striker or striker/winger, we have a problem if Leaburn picks up another injury and any of TC, Godden and Olaofe don’t make the step up.

Happy to have Mbick or Dixon regularly on the bench, but if they step up it should be a bonus, rather than a must.

Definitely think we're a striker short ATM. Mbick I'd rather see out on loan , Dixon is the wildcard that I expect to be on the bench most weeks. Obviously Ahadme seems to have no future at the club and Kanu is already heavily linked with a loan away. 

Wouldn't be surprised if we spent another good fee on someone that can hold it up.

I wonder if CDM cover could be a veteran type signing on a free? As long as NJ doesn't sign Pelly Ruddock-Mpanzu who wasn't even good enough for Rotherham last season . 

Think we’ll keep Terry Taylor instead

Interesting that virtually no one’s wish list includes a LWB when we only have Edwards capable of playing there. Ideally we need someone like Watson who can cover both sides 

My guess is we’ll go with Bell being an option at LCB and LWB. I don’t see Edwards being dropped which makes it difficult to bring in someone for that position. NJ won’t want to block Enslin’s pathway either.
