    Ismail—Watt—Cooke—Pritchard

    Not that much different to last season unless you want to start inserting inferior squad players into the first 11.

    Yes, I agree.

    Who do we have midfield wise - Pritchard, Sutton, Cooke - feels one light to me. If Watt were to sign would that be enough?

    Where do you think Clarke fits into that central midfield? Or is he expected to be our fifth striker?

    ps I rate Pritchard and I'm really pleased Cooke has returned so long as he isn't restricted to defensive duties. Unlike others, I can't comment on either Sutton or Watt since I don't recall ever having seen them play.

    Don't normally disagree with you but i do with Pritchard. Not good enough for anything more than a fill in out wide, better central but then where does Clarke play?

    Hopefully he can build on what he achieved last season. We struggle enough with signings during normal closed season, i’m expecting this one to be a bloody nightmare! Not exactly sure what my expectation level is for the coming season, in an ideal world I still feel we need some really fresh faces as much to generate some extra enthusiasm, as anything else, but fingers crossed stuart’s acquisitions work out well. Still earlyish days I guess.

    is Vaughan back with us for the coming season? I’m totally lost on what happened in January and if he’s still our player.

    Look i think I'm happy with the Cooke signing but I honestly can't remember him doing anything special last season. He couldn't even hold down a starting place under either manager. Tidy player but that was it. Hope he proves me wrong and bosses it!

    15 minutes of madness cost them in the first season in which he took a team that had finished once in the top half in seven seasons, added one player to the existing squad and finished third in a season where they were arguably the best side in the division. So it can be done, you have to have an excellent manager though, backed by a manager and a squad that has the talent there to be able to squeeze out of it. Whether we have any of those ingredients i'm not sure. I certainly don't think the squad is capable as it stands, too many players still here who i don't think will contribute enough to a successful side.

    Stuart did also mention Sutton being an effective wing-back, which could see us go with him and Wood wing-backs with two in midfield and one of Clarke or Pritchard behind the front two perhaps

    That makes no sense. Plenty of clubs 'buy' players they fancy, irrespective of how many players are out of contract
