    The thing that I want to see happen in the summer is an overhaul of the fitness and medical department the number of serious soft tissue injuries is way more than it should be and the length of recuperation. Also we don’t seem to have coped as well as some clubs with the amount of fixtures which makes you wonder about the general fitness.

    Didn't a 36 year old lead is to Wembley twice within a couple of months? Also when we were in the prem, the fittest player we had was a 36 year old full back and think Kammy was 36 when he was the fittest on our books.

    Do you think our strikers would see them or simply admire them?

    Sikora will be a quality player.

    Couldn't really comment on him as never seen him play and not had a look in recently, time to play him in last few matches then perhaps:?

    Would keep all 5 teenagers that have been in the squad. Let's give them a good chance to see what they can develop to.

    For what they will be getting another season wouldn't be a big deal.

    Gary Jones. Would like to have seen him in this squad, I'm sure he would shook them up during this run.

    You're old enough to remember :)
    When Tordoff was custodian, didn't he stipulate we don't sign anyone over 27 ?

    I'd keep Sam Hornby as a player, and Donaldson on the coaching staff. The rest remain unproven, mediocre or past their sell by date.

    Think Donaldo could be too much of a nice guy to instil any discipline....

    Some of the answer, to the serious changes, was revealed at a Q&A session, hosted by the Supporters' Trust, this evening. [see the Ryan Sparks thread]

    If we followed these rules, that would mean we would say no to Nahki Wells in the Summer. He'll be a 31 year old ex player.

    I wonder what the lighted hearted changes were so as to justify the term "Serious changes"?
