Strengthening The Squad On a Shoestring


Still Got it Matty?

Whether the take-over goes through or not, we are unlikely to become the Man City of League One. Defence is obviously our glaring weakness, but we also need help up-front. Andy Gray looks set to leave, Chris Dickson seems to want first team football elsewhere. Which leaves the squad where? Here's some likely candidates for recruitment...

Defenders:

Jon Fortune;

Still not signed elsewhere, though presumably looking for a club after a Sheffield United trial. Money is obviously an issue here.

Matt Holland;

Played centre-back a bit last season, not officially retired. Money should not be an issue for our former club-captain, but he was noticeably slower last season. Good enough as a back up defender?

Darren Ward;

Earned friends at the Valley with his displays on loan from Wolves at the tail end of last season. Doesn't appear to have signed for anyone since leaving Wolves. Good rotational signing?

Strikers:

 Tressor Kandol;

Well down the pecking order at Leeds, should be available for transfer. Showed glimpses of quality last year. Worth bringing in?

 

Anyone else obvious missing from this list?
