I'm assuming that when I have finished writing this we won't have made another signing!
Given that Buckle doesn't sign players to sit on the bench, just who from last season's squad is likely to still be in the team come August?
At the moment there's just 4 places up for grabs:
GK: Bevan
Back 4: ? ? Virgo L.Brown
Midfield: Carayol Stanley Gill ?
Up Front: Harrold ?
I'd say: Anthony, Clough, Swallow and Kuffour
(I'd like to see Senda re-signed though)

carayol is a left sided midfielder so we need a right sided midfielder. just hope he doesnt put brown or blizzard there. anthont will be centre back with virgo if he d0esnt go. i think buckle wants to bring in another striker. need a right back too.

Deffo need another striker, two if Joker4 goes. Horrible feeling that Byron will go, hope he doesn't.
Interestingly, we are third favourites for promotion straight back up - I'd take 3rd place right now!

Michael Smith is signing for Rovers. He is a right back from Ballymena.

I'm not faulting Buckle but he's putting himself in a position where we have to go up at the first attempt.
The board has backed him to the hilt and he is getting players in early so that they can have maximum time together before the season starts.
It will be HIS team and he won't be able to say he had to work with what he inherited.
No pressure!!

Pell should get a place

I suppose he will also need to find another keeper from somewhere
