Back for pre-season training today and though it would be fair to say , there is still a long way to go, the pieces are beginning to be put into place for the starting 11.
The central pairing in midfield will surely now be ,Evans and Harper, a major upgrade on last season.
The 3 ahead of them are a long way from finalised , but I would say Burns will fill one of those and I would not be surprised at all to see Nolan return to a completely revamped midfield. Still , arrivals to come , particularly wide men.
A striker then seems almost certain to be a priority, though who this will be is unclear. I wouldn't rule out Wyke.
That would then leave defence. A new goalkeeper being top of the list, closely followed by a left back. Maybe KVY and Wolfenden will be the only survivors from last season , but I wouldn't even put my hat on that for certain.
We wanted change, we needed change.
I think it's fair to say none of us will recognise the team which takes the field against morecambe. |  | | |  |

I might be a bit too much of an optimist, but I think there may be one or two surprises coming up from the U-23/U-18s, and that might even include a player from last season who's suddenly realised that Man City aren't going to be racing for his signature so he needs to knuckle down and start working hard here.
Still, 2 or 3 more signings I'd reckon as well. |  |

Wykes chasing a 3 year deal at 15k per week. Looks like we pulled the plug on that one a while back
Celtic looks most likely.

Hope so as an U23 squad with 30 players and far fewer games than first team is going to be difficult to manage. Players don’t develop their full potential if they don’t get enough competitive games. |  |

There's a few to be pulled from that 30: Lankester gone, but Bishop, Dobra, Kenlock and Jackson could go too, with hopefully (as above) one or two of those guys getting another chance.
That brings it down to 25 potentially, and we could see as many as 7 of those go out on loan elsewhere, leaving the U-23s with a nice 18 plus any youngsters that need a bigger challenge. | |

Wykes would have been a nice to have but wages were always going to stop us in the current climate. Would rather we had a few decent players at a reasonable wage than 1 that takes a large portion of the budget |  | | |

Not sure our interest was anything more than agent talk. |  | | |

I knew nothing of it more a point of regardless of the talk it would have always have been a no hoper to chase.

I'd quite like a CB next in. And a decent LB. And a striker. And.. |  |

I agree with centre back and left back, but don’t think we need a striker. Norwood is a top striker in this division and we play one up front, so Bonne, Drinan and Morris should be adequate backup? Don’t think we will be able to get someone like Wyke when we have Norwood. |  | | |
