Annual squad thread

A rather short-sighted view. What if we have an injury and suspension at the back?

It's the one area of the squad that looks threadbare, as I'm sure the owners are aware.

I think most on here would agree that at times last season that our defence wasn't the best. That was in the National League, so with them all being one year older and now in a higher division it follows that we need some level of upgrade. All other areas of the team have been improved.
We now have a squad of 19 players plus goalkeepers and under 21s, so that means we could have 3 more.
With 7 subs allowed next season (will the subs' benches be big enough?) I assume he will have a goalkeeper and 6 others - meaning 16 outfield players each match. If we stick at the 19 that would only leave 3 as backups in case of injuries, suspensions or loss of form.

well, it's not personal. Baldwin had a good season I thought, but honestly when was the last time Notts looked strong at the back? Kilkline?

Not personal at all, I just think the CB’s we have are good enough for L2 however, I agree we need another one as cover

This was pretty strong!
