    Tony’s competitive budget.

    Is this for the running of the club or transfers.Because if his ambition is to get in to the Championship then this squads not good enough for the Championship.We need at least another 4 quality players just to survive.

    Which position? Or do you mean 4 quality players in a squad. Or do you mean 4 additional players to the present squad?

    A full back for a start,Two forwards & a good loan player.I think only Smith out of the forwards will hacket in the Championship just for his efforts alone.we need what I call an inside forward with a bit of craft to help Smith.Loan player with Championship experience not a prem U23 player.I would like a good no nonsense C/H to replace Wood.

    If Ladapo still wants to move then another striker obviously needs to be signed, that could be Grigg (he was at Wembley) not sure if Kayode will be good enough so maybe yes another forward or/and attacking midfielder

    It all depends on formation before we can think which position needs filling but maybe defence needs looking at

    Don’t forget we have players who we haven’t seen get much games yet or none at all, where do they fit in?

    Let’s see who’s still here

    Any chance we can loan Tu-Tu next season? That’s if the club would want to

    No way I'd sign Grigg. We need players on the way up or at a level good enough not on the way down.

    Grigg was outside mingling with fans and taking selfies
    Also in the middle of all the players when the on fire song was blasting out

    Can't help but think he has an affinity with the club and might like to sign on a sensible salary assuming we go up
    Just what we need in a division above and Two-Two likewise. More time on the ball and their quality should shine through

    gru, totally with you on that one. 31 in July and look how much time out he's lost with his injury so far for us. He did bring a different formation to our front line allowing Smudge to get on with scoring goals, however, I would not risk signing him due to his age and injury record.

    Kayode is no where near Championship level. IF we go up, he has potential but, probably more level 1 so would be a 3rd or even 4th choice as we don't know what Kelly can bring to the table and if we bring in another quality striker. Can we keep Smudge? That's Warney's biggest headache I fear.

    Need a new left back, something the recruitment team and Warney have always failed to deliver on? Definitely a new centre forward as Freddie as good as he is on his day, wouldn't give us enough in the Championship, I thank him for his services but, he needs to play elsewhere.

    Putting sentiments to one side, I don't think Angus is the answer to our back line and Icky without Captain 'fantastic' Wood in our side is at times a liability so, we need a new SOLID Centre Half, has to be a mature level headed one though. Can we get REG on another season long loan? Harding should be at right back in my opinion, his true position.

    Keepers, we're sound so no issue there.

    Midfield, no issue there either as they are probably the best in this league when they are all working as one. They've all contributed to the score sheet this season which has been great to see.

    A lot to look through as in recruitment but, I biggest fear is much bigger clubs may well come looking and putting bids in for Wiles and Ogbene, close season. Now that would make an impact on us.

    I would definitely sign Grigg. His presence coincided with our best form. No brainer for me.
