    We don't need more than 1 forward. We have Long, CBR and Nevitt. I also don't think we NEED a centre back. We have Offord, O' Riordan and Williams and possibly MacDonald. I think we have another CB in the Academy who may well breakthrough. Defo need a keeper, and a full back, preferably one who can play full back if needs be. So a "David Wright" type player. I guess midfield depends on a) whether they see Griffiths growing into the role and b) whether there are any in the Academy champing at the bit to get in the first team. We ain't got unlimited funds so I reckon half a dozen is probably about it.

    We needs a couple of wingers I think, a CB assuming McDonald does not sign, Offord was terrible back end of the season so I’m not as confident about him as I once was. But what a depressing thought that we might have to rely on Griffiths truly a very poor footballer if we can’t do much better than that we are in trouble.

    I think that may be a little harsh on Griffiths. He had a spell in the side where I thought he looked ok. However I would say that it has to be this season or he is not likely to make it here.
    With regard to Offord, I agree he did have a disappointing end to the season. But I feel it was a dip in form rather than he became a poor player. He made mistakes in the last third of the season that were not there before. Let's hope he comes back stronger
