Poole is a much much better No10 than Hancock, who has many games for me where he tends to go missing. I’m not criticising Josh, after all he had an excellent goal return over the season...but James Poole is a class act and we will need his guile and passing ability to open up the better defences in the National North. I don’t see Josh as having that ability...but it’s all about opinions.
I’d agree that we need another midfielder having lost Chris Merrie, and definitely need another striker for back up for Jordan. The keeper is a given....young Elliot Wynne who played for Abbey Hey against us, and who turned out for Lancaster ( on loan from Fylde) would be worth looking at.
Defensively we look sound, though the suggestion of Scott Leather is a good one, I guess it depends if Chorley go up through the play offs as to whether he would consider coming back.
