Very poor fooder today.


Massive rebuild needed

Absolute rubbish. If football has taught us anything, it's that tiny tweaks can have massive impact.

The players had the stuffing knocked out of them after the Trophy semi, the manager has probably been experimenting more than he would, and we're heading into next season with a much more solid base level than the one we came into the season with.

It's sh*t watching at the moment, granted - but will have zero bearing on the outcome of next season.

The one thing I will say, however - is an experienced, commanding goalkeeper is the priority.

We 100% need a rebuild in the heart of defence - surely we all can agree on that! A goalkeeper, yes without a shadow of a doubt (though I doubt Parky will do that).

And of course, up top. In Linney and Goodson we have excellent young players to build around but we are short of width on either side

So, it's positional rebuild we need rather than total rebuild.

Osborne had the best game I've seen from him in a very long time. Playing for a contract perhaps.

I would want bring in :

1.An experienced goalkeeper who has played at a higher level. His age doesn't matter, but he has to command his box and organize his defenders properly.

2. A similarly experienced number 10.

3. An quick winger with goals in his locker.

I believe that the right goalkeeper will solve a lot of our defensive frailties.

Agree about the keeper situation, if someone as good as Tommo had come in we would have been top half this season. Glad it is looking likely that Torquay are doomed. Horrible club

Always thought that Cameron Mason would do a magnificent job for us in goal.
