Diego Maradona

Seemed a lovely lad and great player! Wish him all the best. Nice to see him at the Vale v Wycombe game last Tuesday!

Correct!

No fancy sh1t3.

Keep: Ripley Smith (not 100% sure) Mitch Ojo (as long as he wants to stay and fight) Chis Garrity Wilson (would love to think we could retain a fully fit, not injury prone Wilson - BUT probably not) Young Lads: Walters Dipepa Shorrock

Come on now Spunkers! Tell us what you really think!

Word has it that there'll be no cuts to the 'Players Budget' next season.

Agree but no bragging rights in Stoke on Trent this season, that's for sure!

Dear Darren, Please can we sign players to fill those positions that we are weak in? Also, please can we play our players in their favoured or strongest position? It appears that lots of other teams do this and to me seems a great idea, although David didn't seem to think that it was important. What do you think? I look forward to your summer shufflings, as well as our team winning a few games in League 2. Yours sincerely, Diego

Even though I reckon a good few of our players will be able to hold their own next season, some (Garrity, Chissy, Ripley) even top end of League 2. However, I do think that we need to break up parts of the squad in order to break up the lack of mental strength. No blood, new quality and a new belief.

Thought that but, for me, it should be a smaller event with no BS. Just her and A. N. Other and just a handful of regular fans. Think it would possibly go 'some' way to help to heal the relationship between club and supports as well, as long as 'some details' from the discussions are published.

If I was Carol, next season, I would meet with a small number of fans (stakeholders of the club) once a month or whatever to gage fans' opinion, concerns etc. behind closed doors. In all seriousness, although people on here might disagree with one another, it's clear to me that people on here see the issues (e.g. Flitcroft, lack of striker etc.) so early on that Carol could do with hearing these thoughts and opinions as early as possible. It would be then up to her but at least it would improve communication between club and fans. As IMO she has been hearing a load a boswollocks from Flitcroft who was found out but it took too many transfer windows.

But what do we reckon if we did play them all as midfielders? For me, depth would be pretty decent for League 2.

Midfield players IMO don't look too bad as long as we play them in midfield: Chis Garrity Ojo Grant Sang Walters Although, appreciate some could go BUT depth doesn't look bad. Thoughts????

Agree. Certainly going to be a challenge keeping hold of these 2. And, even though Ojo has done my head in a bit recently, when his head's on, he's decent. I reckon Ojo, Garrity and Chissy is a decent midfield 3 in league 2. For me, better than what we went up with. Just the small matter of the defence and attack. Hoping Auntie Carol is going splash some cash, as well as clearing out some sh1t3.

Wow! Takes some doing that!
