I am with others here with how many more we will get in,i would say 3 possibly 4 permanent but then we have the loan system which could see more if needed,there will most certainly be a permanent GK and striker come in along with another midfielder,full back will probably be on loan

I'd say we could do with someone who can play CB and RB (and not a centre half that gets shoved out wide even though they can't play there).  I know Crookes appears to be the new scapegoat, and people think he is a centre half over a left back, but both managers have fancied him as LB. he isn't an attacking full back, but he is a steady eddie and allows the winger in front of him to prosper by being more attacking.

This is why I believe Amoo is more effective on the left with Crookes in behind him. On  the right Gibbo wants to attack and so Amoo has to track back more. Worrall is a perfect winger for Gibbo and Crookes is a perfect full back for Amoo. The fact that he can play LB and CB is a bonus.

I love Monty at left back however but he needs someone in front of him who will help him out. This is why I would like us to sign:

 - A right back/centre back (like Crookes)

 - an industrial winger like Worrall who is left footed.

Add in another centre mid (Taylor would be ideal), a striker and a back up keeper and I'd say that would do us.

We don't have to spend big - these would be squad players.

What if Gibbo gets suspended?

What if Montano gets injured?

What if players get tired or suffer loss of form?

We absolutely need strengthening in those positions.

We have 4 players who can play leftback on the books already. If we sign Clark that would be 5. Montano is the best of the 4 we currently have, so the other 3 (Crookes, Hurst, Campbell-Gordon) are squad players. Askey's hope is to pay more for one very good player who can play in 4 positions is better value than 3 mediocre players. There are very few good leftbacks around at the level so any reserve we sign wouldn't be that good.

Guessing but I suspect Hurst is closer to a breakthrough. He's had two seasons at National League North level as a regular. Campbell-Gordon's two loan spells have both been a couple of levels lower on the pyramid. I'm guessing he'll do at least half a season at a tier 5 or 6 club in 2020/21.

I do agree with your points but also there is a counter argument.

Smith played admirably at right back when Gibbo was banned. Brisley came in at CH. 

Crookes isn't as bad as painted on here. He was culpable for a few positional errors but he's young and learning the game. A more than capable deputy for Montano. 

Is there any point in signing a Kennedy or Evans type just for the sake of it ? 

Really difficult to weigh up for Askey, maybe will only sign one because Crookes can play two positions.

That's just unbelievable to me. Clearly improved since he left Lincoln but can't say I was fussed with his links to ourselves or should I say rumours 

I'm not shocked there are very few regular goalscorers about. I was fairly confident a league 1 club would take a punt. There's not much that inspires in terms of league 2 goalscorers in terms of goals and general play.
