6 or 7 incoming then!

Still think that's a couple short we need 24/25 players in the squad unless we'll have a couple of long term loans on top of that.
We had around that many this season and when we got injuries at the end of the season it wasn't enough players.

It is pretty obvious who 15 of those are – if you discount loanees:
Vickers
Eardley
Habergham
Waterfall
Wilson
Bostwick
Woodyard
Whitehouse
Frecklington
Anderson
Pett
Chapman
Green
Rhead
Palmer

Who would then be the 16th out of Farman, Long, Stewart? It would be an interesting equation should Danny have included Wharton and Allsop in his '15/16' quota....
 
I don't think Whitehouse is good enough. I also think that Waterfall will end up being Wilson's understudy. Rhead who is 34 next week, will almost certainly be spending a lot of his time on the bench. I can see him being brought on when we are chasing a game, rather than starting it.
 
Unless he wants away, I think Long may be the othe one. RB good cover (unless we sign Miller?).

Or Rowe
 
Or it’s two of them and not Chapman? He’s only 18 and will be though from the sounds of it. I’d guess Stewart is one of them. Wharton and Allsop won’t be included.
 
I wouldn't take the quoted numbers too literally: Danny mentions 15 or 16 who 'can contribute', and 20 to 22 as his intended squad size. There is quite a lot of leeway just within those numbers.
 
Let's not forget that Farman is still under contract. I think that Danny is just referring to those under contract for next season though probably discounting Arnold who'll probably take some form of mutual termination of his deal
 
Just checking through we had 19 contracted players for this season plus loanees.
So 22 plus loanees would make for a decent sized squad for next season.
