    Summer transfer rumours

    I realized that but if Malone goes we only have McKenzie there as cover and that would definitely affect our chances of getting crosses in from that side.If Ogie is covering central and left back positions we would need that extra defensive player.

    Summer transfer rumours

    The interesting thing is where he fits he appears to be right sided who can play on the left. I was thinking Ogie might be our alternative left back if Malone left? That being the case we would need another central defender.With Hawkins leaving too probably that takes away that option.There is...

    Retained List 5 with a Vengeance

    Me I am unable to kick a ball . Traveling is getting difficult seems the right time to realisticly release me to non league.I might need to invest in Sky which is for another thread .I am hoping to persuade my wife we need to find another home in South Suffolk as I am struggling with the stairs...

    Summer transfer rumours

    In my view we need a passer to bring the ball out of defence.Then find the right pass to get us up the pitch.Speed is not just about pacey running.A single correct pass can cut the opposition Coleman doesn't have that in his locker.

    Summer transfer rumours

    Having watched these clips from Digby's Forest Green days I think it could be a good fit for our midfield a passer and dribbler more than a tackler.

    Summer transfer rumours

    Here is my call Paul Digby or Michael Morrison the former captains of Cambridge under Bonner both he describes as real leaders .Both released. Where to fit one of them in ? Morrison at 36 a very experienced central defender would be a commitment to three at the back and possibly make it...

    So what type of players do you think we need given we now know the likely departures?

    That's why we need to build a quality league two challenge without tying too many players down for the following season.That way you can rebuild or renew . Promotion this season would have meant almost certain relegation.For that contract reasons alone if Harris had the final say on the...

    Summer transfer rumours

    I think Matt Smith might be a very decent bit of business if Hawkins is leaving it would mean sticking with one format Smith and a tricky quick striker would be a good combination.Options for one or two up top .

    Retained list

    Twelve pros under contract.Plus two more offered deals.Plus four contracted who are on the transfer list. If none of the transfer listed players leave that only leaves about four spaces for a squad of 22. Bonne appears to have been counted twice as he was replaced by a loan signing or Andrews...

    Retained List?

    Cambridge under Bonner had a one year plan given our contract situation I think it makes a lot of sense to replicate that.Youth will still develop under 18s plus the few young professionals we have left.There will be a clear message that professional squad deals will be available for the best in...

    So what type of players do you think we need given we now know the likely departures?

    Hutton has been decent defensively the warnings about his defending have been wrong thus far. I don't see him as a midfielder at all .As One sir Keith said Bonner is happy to adapt the side formation to the players he has so losing a central defender he would probably go 442. McKenzie has had...

    So what type of players do you think we need given we now know the likely departures?

    Goalkeeper Probably done unless there is a slightly surprising departure. Right back Hutton and McKenzie should be enough in that area . Central defenders Possibly.But unlikely of any new arrivals.There might be a chance the Ogie might be given a few more opportunities at left wing back which...

    Clemence statement

    As much as I liked the idea of appointing SC results and the lack of significant improvement in any player .Also the lack of players out of contract meant he had to go.Perhaps with the opportunity to pick his own squad it might work but nobody is getting that before the summer of 2025.
