I was going to wait until the end of the season but tonight was shocking.

For me, this is PP and Neil's biggest summer.

To progress, we need to be ruthless and free up wages to sign quality. Far too much dead wood.

Need some bloody wingers, as priority.

Quality goalkeeper is a must.

[oneedham]

Yeah, think priority positions are :-
GK
At least two quality wide players, who are not loans ( Sinclair? )
RB who can get forward and defend
CB cover ( Ferguson? )
No.10 to help Kossy with his return ( would be good to see either CCC or Oyedele back on loan )

[Timperley The Best]

Could also do with a no nonsense centre half

[AltyNotFaulty]

He was on the bench

With our defensive record this season, we surely need to replace at least one of Jones and Baines. We need somebody with a bit of character and leadership.

Let's stop overreacting a touch; last summer was our biggest and we've got through it. Finishing the season in a damp squib (as we often do) doesn't change that.

I disagree with releasing Jake Cooper, and I think we need better than James Jones starting. Those two need to be the squad options and we need to sign someone stronger to partner with Lewis Baines.

Matty Kosylo also needs to be considered a squad option, so we need someone else good enough to start.

We have and always will play attacking football that leaves us exposed a lot! Having a weak keeper who doesn’t command his box, centre halves that have played around 60% of the season together due to injury/suspension and no cover for injuries… add to that the turbulent number of ins and outs and I’d say we have done bloody well! I disagree that many of the team haven’t shown character or leadership… Jones and Baines certainly have… Jordan especially has!

Let's stop being hysterical; last summer was our biggest and we've got through it. Finishing the season in a damp squib (as we often do) doesn't change that.

I disagree with releasing Cooper, and I think we need better than James Jones starting. Those two need to be the squad options and we need to sign someone stronger to partner with Lewis Baines.

If we signed someone like Ferguson, for example, we would have to release Cooper to free wages up.

Our current squad, without any loan players would be relegated.

There absolutely has to be some reflection on the way we are set up and coached defensively. A couple of months ago Parky mentioned that we don't practise set pieces, rather the 'information is given to the players' (or words to that effect). As, admittedly, an amateur on this topic that stuck me as a nonsense, and despite protestations, it's clear we cannot defend set pieces. Individually we've got a group of defenders who have all, at one time or another, played well for us. I just cannot see how the absolutely horrendous defensive record this season is anything other than a reflection on decisions made when it comes to how we are coached and set up. I'm obviously totally happy to be told otherwise, but 4 clean sheets in 45 league games cannot be due purely to errors and lapses in concentration.

We're doing the next thing to playing without a keeper.

Osborne and Pringle are high earners who need to be gone.

My solution to the defensive crisis? Goodbye and thank you James Jones and Kyle Ferguson. Myles-Welch is obtainable and I would pursue that transfer.

I was a big fan of Aaron Bennett before his injury but tonight he looked like he was treading water. I can see him at Bamber or Warrington in Conference North next season.

Zak and Regan always give me cause for optimism but watching us play the ball down the wing to non existent wingers tonight was really painful. We need wingers and I don't mean that bloke from Oldham masquerading as a winger.

Stripped bare of the brilliant loanees who have carried us this season, our real squad showed itself for what it is tonight - relegation fodder. We need a keeper, a proper centre back, a 10 and a couple of wingers. Either that or 15 loanees!

[One Foot in the Grave]

We shouldn't have more than 6 loanees on the books at any given time since we can only utilise 5 in any game.

I didn't go last night, so can't comment on what seems to have been a poor showing.

[CRT Butty]

Far to reliant on loans. Without a doubt they kept us up, we need to turn quality loans like ccc and newby into permanent deals. The next big announcement has to be financial and designed to make those deals happen.

That's if the money is available .surely 100k plus was  received for Colclough and Mullkey
