Strong in the air, strong on the ground, great position sense, tremendous presence, hard as nails, really bonds with supporters, whats there not to like. Yep he made some errors in a handful if matches but loik at the guy in the whole. Would luv to have him back next season.

All very decent players, but I guess Olutade and Embury still have to step up to the plate and prove themselves at this kevel.

Looking at that list, along with maybe Chesmian, we will need a couple of strong, experienced players in the squad. George would still be a big signing in my book.

Jake was often injured or coming back from injury. I think he is going to be a good player at this level. Olutade never got a chance. Maybe we will see if it was John or Hak who didn’t rate him. He should at least get a chance so we know one way or another. To think he was one of a few that got a 2 year deal.

We need a unit in midfield. All quite lightweight at the moment..but skillful. We need a Jai Reason/reece P type of player to allow our creative players some freedom.
Reason was releasedby Dover...
Btw was there an official PoTY vote for last season in the end.

Saidou Khann is maybe the most skillful of all, but not exactly that fierce in the tackle.
Sam Corne is a very good worker, some good skill, mobile and puts himself about.
Shame they both suffered from injuries last season, didn't exactly help the cause.
But agree with steve , we need a bit of steel, even nastyness too in midfield.
Tbh I was surprised when Jay let Jai go, he had plenty of influence and something to offer still as a 'covering' midfielder
But it's another year on and none of us are getting any younger
Btw Steve, who won it ?

Btw was there an official PoTY vote for last season in the end. I think boucard was brought in to do that kind of role, but don't think he was quite as mobile as we would have liked, what he was good at doing was talking, and he was also good at creating space so he could get a pass from a teammate. I have been saying we need a right horrible c*** for a few years now, thought Walton would fill that void but he was too slow to actually foul anyone, and didn't seem able to intimidate opponents.

I've always liked a team with a strong experienced spine, and with lewington in goal we have a start, need an old hand who is still good at centre half, a tough tackling defensive midfielder and someone of the ilk of McClure who can bring others into play and have the younger forwards playing off them.

To the above would add a couple of players with pace and a sprinkling of intelligence/vision to see opportunities and exploit them. We spent all last season trying to play to John Still's formula and became all too predictable the longer the season went on.

Hard to believe that Noah Chesmain wont be one of the 2 players from last season's squad to be offered a new contract. Maybe George will be the other signing. Hope so. Which leaves us short all over the place. We will need a couple of new wide men up front, a holding midfielder who as somebody says needs to be a bit of a c**t, another 'creative' midfielder, at least 2 more centre backs and a full back. Interesting times.

Is that on top of the nine we are retaining? If so, could you help Terry out with the financing of such a large squad?
Or as a new (or hidden identity) poster, were you just winding us up?

Apparently the 2 players to be offered contracts from last seasons squad are George and Amaluzor. Also surprised at Chesmain not being one of them.
