    It would appear one or two have been asking to play but didn’t cover themselves in glory. Could be a little unfair on them to be pitched in with the weaker 11, but you still have to make sure you do the basics well. I can’t imagine the younger ones complaining so maybe Evans was the one Adams comments were aimed at.

    I love the directness of Adams. It'll ruffle a few feathers in the dressing room, but it's key to building a stronger mentality.

    Its clear he still wants to add to the squad too, which I think is needed. We're still short in a couple of areas, in my mind.

    CB and ST for me. Im ok in the middle. Songo, Watt, Sutton, Staunton and even Cooke to drop back if needed.

    Sikora probs go out on loan. Maybe Scales too.

    Agreed. And I'm not wholly convinced by either keeper - though they're probably both in the realm of 'average' when it comes to L2 Keepers.

    Apart from Cook there is no out and out forward even last season we had more options though they may not have been great.

    So derek adams now can see that kids are not ready wanted 24 players will now see Sikora cousin dawson Staunton foulds not part of that. That’s four spaces need to be filled in quick. Chuck Evans in that as no way good enough anymore. Five new signings please inc a striker and be happy.

    These players will not be played together but individually they will be fine as they have shown in previous games they just need more experience

    We're not signing 5 more players. 2, I reckon. Staunton and FCD will be kept around.

    I'd be happy with that. Can probably throw Gillead in too at a push...

    Matty Foulds isn't a "kid". He's 24 in February so if he isn't good enough then we need to move him on but we certainly shouldn't be waiting for him to develop.

    In his interview with the T&A, Adams implied that he needed to strengthen the squad some more. What surprised me was his additional comment that he had 'good competition' amongst the forwards which suggests any more recruits would be in defence and midfield.

    Perhaps he meant the wide forwards Dennis? We're certainly well stocked in those areas.

    Strange one Foulds. He barely played any minutes under Trueman and Sellars yet someone offered him a new contract in the summer. As you say he is not a kid so someone must rate him enough, was that Trueman, Adams or Sparks playing football manager

    There should be so much more to come from Vernam and Cranky..

    I hope your interpretation is a correct one. I haven't seen Angol play but to rely on him and Cook as the main thrust of the specialist strikers is a bit of a risk for me. It only takes an injury or a loss of form and we quickly run out of options.

    I can't see us making 5 new signings, but agree that Evans is now on the decline, we need to manufacture a move away for him. Didn't someone mention a Stockport link for him not too long ago? Sikora is very raw, a loan to the NL would do him the world of good, cant see any of the other younger players going out on loan. I see 2/3 more coming in maximum, we already need a no.10, another 2 on top of that and we'd be looking a lot stronger

    Angol can play there - thats his usual i believe. One more I agree. Sees us through until January.

    National league for Sikora good shout I’d even send cousin Dawson too. Definitely improved hornby his spell in that league Staunton thought was back up centre half but Adams does not think so. Kelleher begin to think he the new Richards Everton.

    Confident we'll get another striker in but being greedy I think we need another CM and CB. Allowing Evans and Sikora (loan) to leave frees up the spots in the squad for those but its easier said than done, especially with Evans.

    Squad depth killed us last year after a few injuries to key players so if we can strengthen those two areas then we should be all over it.
