OK
Play offs finished and new season to look forward to. Lets be realistic money is going to be tight (dont even start the Doughty out threads, 6 million a year to keep us going is reality check time)
So heres what i think we need next year from the existing squad
SQUAD

Camp, Darlow, Gunter, Moloney, Morgan, New Central Defender, Chambers, Lynch, Bennett, New Left back
Midfielders;
Anderson, Cohen, Mcleary, Moussi, Mcgugan, Majewski, One Defensive Midfield, One Left sided Midfield
Forwards;
Blackstock, Findlay, Mcgoldrick, Garner, Earnshaw, One if not Two strikers preferably left sided,

Team
CAMP
GUNTER
New Centre Half
CHAMBERS
New Left Back
MOUSSI or COHEN (Moose may leave)

4:3:3 set up with skill in midfield and forwards with pace, supporting midfield when not in possession
Away this could switch to 4:5:1

I agree that we need a left back, centre back, dm and striker. I can't see Garner staying to be honest and I'm not sure he's good enough anyway, I'd like to see us signing Boyd on a permanent, we could have done with his goals earlier in the season and you didn't mention Tudgay, who hasn't been at his best recently but if we're going to lose Adebola and Tyson (and maybe even Earnie), with Dex not fully fit yet then I think he can still do a job for us

Hi Forest01
I think garner needs to be given a decent run in the position we bought him for - for me he is another Chambers in that we bought him and played him out of position and nobody could see what he had to offer, give him a run and he is player of year and half the prem want him allegedly.
I just think the early days of Garner you could see he had a football brain and he has potential, but BD obviously does not like and never gives him a run in the CF position
Tudgay i like but believe there is better out there and for me garner does his job and more
I agree i think we will /should lose Tyson and Dele, i think earnie is worth a new contract but i think he wont get what he wants and too be honest this year he has not delivered and with Findlay i think its bye bye time
I dont think we need a big clear out but i do think we need to be ruthless and spend wages on some new blood
And i am convinced that we need to build a team that is capable of playing Lewis and Raddy together, they showed on Monday that they are our two most creative players and it was Raddy with a great pass to set Earnie up for the goal, put a decent defensive midfield player in with them and watch that midfield dominate
