Arguably our strongest available line-up considering Magennis is injured. 8 of those started our last league game (Hammill, Jones and Lyness the exceptions). Given how poor Rogers is Lyness is a massive omission. Hammill was our most creative midfielder and Jones was becoming our best, mobile defender. You are also making a massive assumption that Ferdinand will be available for our next match when even OK has said he has the same sort of deals Hammill had to be closer to his family. It may be eleven players and our strongest line up but it would be battered by ANY other team in this league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying this is going to be our team going forward, I'm merely saying as things stand, right now, this is probably our strongest XI. I don't think for a minute that Ferdinand is going to stay, and I'd be staggered if Cammy Smith isn't gone in the next few days. New arrivals will come in and the team will look very different!

That squad looks really poor. Smith looks to be off today Kellerman when fit didn’t exactly impress at Fylde Two ageing long term injury hit players ( but still good players) Rogers does not fill me with confidence Ferdinand is a major doubt. Mullen and Magennis recently injured , haven’t played since ....? & Kpekawa is , well, Kpekawa. As things stand we would be very lucky to be able to field a full team with subs. Let’s hope GM & OK have some aces up their sleeves. COYS . Wasn't it 21/22 plus youngsters Kearney said was ideal - so that's div's 19 down to 17 if you discount Erhahon & MacPherson? That'd leave us looking for 4/5 incoming (net). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That'll pay for several new players. Mate most of them are getting payouts, or their loan is being part paid. Add to that the overspent the budget sacking and paying off Stubbs & co, and Oran's Compo, and Three big additional wages for Hammill, Jackson & Anton. That hadnt been budgeted for. i know football fans (self included) sometimes want ti detach from reality and insist the board get the cheque book out, but that cheque book is worn out now, the club simply cant afford to pay yet another eight wages, that might again need paying off at a later date. ffs did you see the piece about the big lad Popescu? They reckon if we sign him thats 4000 euros a month plus his digs! Thats just one (as far as we know) quality replacement. our board f**ked up royally chasing the dream with Stubbs, now the chickens have come home to roost.

If we assume that Heaton being out on loan removes him from the squad (even accepting we will be paying at least some of his wages) As of right now the first team squad consists of; Danny Rogers Jack Baird Ethan Erhahon Adam Eckersley Lee Hodson Anton Ferdinand Paul McGinn Gary MacKenzie Cole Kpekawa Ryan Flynn Jim Kellermann Kyle Magennis Stephen McGinn Cammy MacPherson Greg Tansey Cody Cooke Simeon Jackson Danny Mullen Cammy Smith That's 19 players. You can do the arithmetic yourself. We'll be looking at 2-3 additions at the moment, and hoping that we can move some of the above out the way to make room for more. I admire you patience, but football fans think 1-1 leaves you £150k to spunk on just two more players. Btw congratulations on the (second) most sensible post on the subject.

Sorry if its all a bit too real. Look at Div's post on numbers.... he actually knows something, and takes in whats written and said by the club. Yes there was some money for Stewart, but it was a drop in the ocean to what has been wasted thus far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
