Decent article about who we need to sign, keep and release regarding our defence. Although the thought of having Aiden Stone potentially starting next season is terrifying.
Harrison Male seems a decent shout to me, especially if Dorking get relegated, although not exactly experienced at league two level.

Why are we looking to replace NL level defenders with, well, NL defenders? Harrison Male is in a side that has conceded over 70 goals, so why on Earth would we think he’s an improvement?Originally Posted by BCnotts18
I’d rather we got players released from L1/L2 and if fortunate enough one from the Championship.

We dont need anymore none league defenders... We have seen what they can do..
First Team
Gave up when he said to keep Baldwin, that guy has not situational awareness and so gifts goals to the opposition.

Gave up when i saw he said keep Chicksen tbh.

Who out of defenders are out of contract ?
Baldwin ?
Chicksen ?

Chicksen and probably Macari are the only ones I’d keep of our defence given a choice. Baldwin is far too error prone, and Cameron try as he might just isn’t a Lg2 CB. Decent backups for the bench maybe but certainly not first 11 standard. The rest aren’t even up for debate really….but don’t they all have longer contracts?
That was the worst bit of the summer recruitment, handing contracts out to players out of loyalty who just weren’t good enough to step up. That could restrict any rebuild this summer unless we can shift some out somehow.

This coming summer transfer window will be the most important one in years imo. If we don’t sort out the deep routed issues in the squad now and release the players who are dead wood or not good enough…we’re going to be facing another season of struggles. Regardless of manager.
We need L2 and above signings who have height, speed, strength and experience. That costs. If the Bros don’t deliver there then the good will they’ve had will disappear imo.
The shenanigans with SM being appointed and amazingly, still in charge, has riled up the ‘old Notts way’ of toxic until it isn’t.
If we start next season with Cameron and Baldwin for example as 2 of a back 3…we’re doomed I tell you, doomed.
First Team
We need to start by bringing in a tough, experienced centre half who will lead on the pitch and then build the defence around him
Someone like Flint at Mansfield or Mcfadzean who joined Coventry when they were in L1 or L2 and helped them up through the leagues
