You say that but who did we actually sign last summer?
Ewing – plucked from Leicester’s youth team with his only real experience being in NLN with Buxton.
Howe – signed from 2 divisions below us.
Dawson – a crock with barely any first team football to his name.
Horton and Belehouan – nobody had heard of them and they weren’t exactly setting the world alight at Gateshead.
Rose – a great signing in hindsight but barely managed 5 games all season.
Chadwick, Eze and Watson – the less said about them the better!
None of these signings particularly got the juices flowing, the best bit of business we did was retaining Roberts for the season. He’s the one who’s going to be nigh on impossible to replace unless we manage to pull a real rabbit out of the hat with our budget. Everyone else we’ve lost so far this summer should be easily replaceable…and that includes Ewing who was chasing shadows for half of the season.

Playing Beestin in his preferred advanced midfield position will be a good start, he always pops up with important goals and isn’t afraid to shoot.

It comes across as an unnecessary excuse to put the prices up. I say unnecessary because prices NEEDED to go up. In addition to all of the increases to operational costs that Westyorksiron mentions above, we also had the cheapest tickets out of any team who finished in the top 7 last season. If we’re serious about returning to the EFL then we need a bigger budget to remain competitive.

I’d add Garry Thompson to the names not already mentioned above. He was a massive part of our Championship survival season.

Was inevitable but still a bit of a gutter. Just look back at some of the games this past season where his individual moments of brilliance have won us the game or got us a point. There are games where we quite literally wouldn’t have created a chance if he wasn’t on the pitch.
Will be very difficult to replace and I hope it’s not with Kyle Hurst but have a feeling it will be.

Delaney was probably the only player to come away with any credit in that awful League 2 relegation season. Sign him up!

Yep, we sold Carlton to KL for an undisclosed fee.

Needs to be stripped right back, give autonomy back to the officials on the pitch and only step in for absolute clear and obvious errors (like Graham Poll giving three yellow cards to the same player without sending him off, or allowing Freddie Sears’ goal to stand that went through a hole in the net and not given). The degree to which VAR gets involved and the time taken to come to decisions is ruining the game.

Is he even NLN level? Who did he go out on loan to? Bradford Park Avenue in the Northern Premier League One East. That’s probably more his level.

Think Barrows has pulled one out of the hat there in not being released. Not a very good centre half and we have three other right backs in Starbuck, Rose and JB.
Is Butler going to come out and start the whole “Campbell is my Number 1” pantomime again if he re-signs? Please, for the love of God, go and sign a decent, NL level established keeper (and no that is not Rory Watson).
