We will have a decent core but the perennial prob of getting a decent forrud could still be an issue. I agree with Grumps I think the defence will be decent particularly if we can hang on to Giles.
I wunt get shut of SMac as long as he is fit you need an old head in CM in league 1. Wood should be player coach. Defensive?
I see the remaining squad as
Johanson, Vickers
Harding, Goose, Icky, Wood, Tilt, Mattock, Clarke, Cooper
ogbene, Wiles, Lyndsay, SMac, Gratton, Kayode, Miller, Sadlier
Notice no forruds and there could lie the problem. People talk about putting Kayode up front but Carlisle have obviously seen his best place as a winger. We may do the same.
How much will we get in for the players who leave? If its true Derby are after Ladapo and they actually have some money I think they are daft enough to pay up to a couple of million for Ladapo. Smudge and Tree will go for 1.5m each. If one of our starlets go it will be owt up to 2.5m. So what I'm basically saying we should get at Least about 4.5 to 5m in but then we will need 7 players in assuming we can have a 25 man squad.At least a couple will need to be forruds and we know they don't come cheap. If Warne is still here hemay go for another Smith type option from the lower leagues ie try to make a silk purse out of a sows ear which he did quite well with Smudge.
