It leaves 28-year-old Cian Bolger as the old man of the squad. Only two players over 25 now, the other being Tom Hopper (26).Wasn’t Coker our oldest player too, it’s an even younger looking squad now.
Surely there are some incomings today!?

Gk, 2 defenders who can cover across the back 4, 2 wg’s and a st.Based on the current squad what positions would people still like to see come in player wise? For me goalie of course, I would like to see a new winger and another defender (possibly versatile player who can offer cover at left or right back?)
And a striker.
We definitely need RB cover, can anyone other than Lewis play there? Another CH and another CF then look the most obvious additions needed.

Real shortage of left sided wingers/wing backs at the moment.Goal keeper and 2 centre halves, left sided winger/wing back and 21 years old striker that will get you 30 goals a season.
Some may me harder to find than others.
