Current Squad: June 2020

I would also add that we have two players - Roughan and Adebayo-Smith - who would fall outside of the salary cap. Therefore, lots of wriggle room in this squad yet.

EDIT: as would Conor Coventry and Tyreece John-Jules.
 
Wasn’t Coker our oldest player too, it’s an even younger looking squad now.

Surely there are some incomings today!?

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).

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.
 
Minimum for me is one Gk, one defender, one winger and a striker but want more if possible and the budget allows.
 
We definitely need RB cover, can anyone other than Lewis play there? Another CH and another CF then look the most obvious additions needed.
 
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.

Keeper. Centre back. Another midfielder if Edun is to play left back at least 2 forwards.
 
An experienced ‘keeper and a proven striker are a must. The defence also looks a bit light in the middle, so another decent centre back. As funds permit, a couple of attacking wing backs, players capable of running up and down the flanks for 90 minutes.
 
still like to see:
experience for the spine: goalkeeper. left sided centre back
youngsters or loanees: left winger. competition for hopper. competition for right back
can grant, mcgrandles, or any of the others be our number ten? if not we also need a number ten.
