I'm a bit surprised that no one has made a bid for Tom Anderson tbh. RW was talking him up as the best center back in the League. He's probably the last saleable asset in our squad who we could get a fee for. Wigan are in the market for a defender.Should we cash in on Tom and sign more of these Trialists?
And just who do you think we can get in to replace someone who RW claims is the best cb in L1?
I think that needs correcting, he is playing in a 3rd Div team but is very capable of playing at a higher level

In answer to your question… I rate Cameron John higher than Tom Anderson…( just my opinion) .CJ has speed, good physical presence, and he can tackle,…Tom undoubtedly has many attributes too, but last season showed him to be a little slow and not that competent with the ball at his feet…This isn’t a Tom bashing, I see him as a very saleable asset that is replaceable, and I see CJ as a defender who can do a bit more going forward….But if no one comes calling we get to keep him a bit longer
Back to square 1 with the keeper, according to LH!
Could we take a risk with the keeper and use the money to get one of the outfield trialists in (Reed/Harrison)? I know it’s not ideal having no one to push Jones but for injuries we can get emergency loans. Will depend on how much Jones is trusted I guess
If Bottomley does not get the chance then we will not know how good he is
It's already a risk opting for the loan keeper route, said it from the start. We needed stability and a solid pair of goalkeepers and we haven't even gotten out of pre-season without massive uncertainty at the position.I hope Jones kicks on this season but if he doesn't, it's going to be a big, big problem area for us.

We had to sign a right back, left back, midfield player, centre half, left midfield and we need another midfield player and right side midfield. We also in the same priority need a GK. Last year supporters complained about too many loans so you have to get permanent players. Money should be available to make that happen to start getting our identity back. At the moment we have 14 permanent players over the age of 21 that includes Williams and the three that are injured or not available. We have 2 loans and 6 players under 21 non of them are good enough for league one even the ones that inept Butler gave a chance to last year. We are in a building stage it’s said let’s build with the right level of players.

You honestly believe that the club are responding to complaints more than responding to keeping the club going in the wake of a global pandemic?

We have no more permanent players over 21 than we had last year, 2 more permanent players will not put the club out of business.
