Rumours seem to be starting early this year
Please don't do this, it's April
January of which year?Have we got anyone lined up for January yet? Or shall I start a new thread for that?
People keep saying dead wood but the dead wood are doing quite well on the whole. Though I don’t expect to see Seddon and Findlay againIt’s a bit premature considering we don’t even know what league we will be in yet. Targets will change depending on where we end up.
A mini overhaul is needed though and to get rid of some dead wood.
They are but it doesn’t mean we shouldn’t expect better next season.People keep saying dead wood but the dead wood are doing quite well on the whole. Though I don’t expect to see Seddon and Findlay again
Henry will retire, Bodin I suspect will get a good gig elsewhere and aren’t the other two under contract?They are but it doesn’t mean we shouldn’t expect better next season.
They are doing a job right now but we can also surely get better in the summer for players like Henry, Bodin, Smyth, Long just to name a few.
Need one saying we need a fit 20 goal a season striker too!Have we got anyone lined up for January yet? Or shall I start a new thread for that?

Findlay has two years left on his contract, which is as long as anyone at the club.
A decision also needs to be taken on Smyth. 3 managers seem to have not particularly rated him.If nothing crazy happens between now and the end of the season, and we're in League One next season with Des at the helm, then I would go:
OUT: Cumming, Stevens, Findlay (if possible - but maybe have to be a loan), Seddon (obv), McGuane, Bodin, Henry, Browne, Edwards
IN: Starting GK, Starting RB (Long is fine for backup), 2x CMs (one of whom is a genuine athlete and ball-winner), 2x wingers, One forward who can play across the front three....probably a younger player on loan from a higher league, Murphy gets an extension, Bennett gets another year
And if anyone was willing to take on Thorniley & McEachran's contracts, I would be happy to replace them both as well.
But a lot could happen in the next month to change minds!
