I wish Butler posted on here, I would love to know what he thinks we need. I’m not impressed by the MF we’re reportedly interested in. Maybe some clues when the retained list arrives later today as indicated.

I agree, but can we afford to sign a player to make an impact from the bench as WG suggests. Surely priority has to be players to improve the starting 11 and move some of this seasons starters to strengthen the bench.

But still got benched in a team with the worst defensive record in the league. Can’t have been that good.

“That’s not to say that we don’t have good, hard working and committed people, but (from owners to manager) they need a different mindset for us to kick on next season.”
And more money.

But that’s my point. Fitz has failed to excel at a higher level, had he stayed he might well have had another outstanding year and had that opportunity in L2 with us next season.
(But he’d have been worse off financially of course)
Other factors to consider are family and location. I’ve no idea of Cal’s situation. Does he commute? Swindon would be a long hike and even Oldham & Notts would be extra mileage. Would he relocate? Would housing costs increase? Does he have kids settled at school? Does he have a wife/partner with a good job? Not always about the money for everybody.
(I hope he reads this, I’ve almost convinced myself that staying is the best option.)2 users thanked author for this post.
Regarding Roberts, I’m hoping he’s kept in touch with Fitz. I know money is important, families to look after, but might he prefer the “big fish in small pool” future. Fitz went from the best NLN keeper in a promotion winning team to a bench warmer in a team relegated to league 2 and without the manager he wanted to sign for. Grass isn’t always greener and all that stuff!
Or maybe I’m just a naive dreamer?1 user thanked author for this post.
The problem is that we have no substitute for Whitehall, Howe is a different type altogether. I mentioned on another thread our lack of physical presence and, IMO, it’s something we need to address. Without Whitehall we lack a focal point up front and, as his fitness for a 50 or so games a season is not assured, I think an alternative is vital.
I doubt it was his decision. He made little impact at the Cods albeit with limited opportunity. Maybe NL is his chance to shine?

Only you and Butler think Pat Jones is a WB (I hope)
Do you have inside info on 3-5-2 for next season?1 user thanked author for this post.
He means “anybody but Butler”

Based on yesterday he wouldn’t get in their team.

Rose came to us as a CB but, as with JB, hasn’t had a chance to show what he can do there. Could be the answer? I also thought he had a decent game when he had a go in MF.

“Do we need Barrows, Rose and Jb for RB position ?”You forgot Starbuck. JB came as a CB but hasn’t featured much there, him & Horton in their proper positions could work.

Nobody as good as Roberts will want to play NL. Jack Nolan would be my choice.

Jimmy would probably have played him as a WB. Completely out of his depth at our level.

Midfielder, 6’4″ gives an added dimension.
