    A tough question but how many of our current squad would you be happy starting the championship with.? I believe a team is stronger when it has played together longer so I'm not for wholesale changes but you have to be ruthless to succeed.

    I'd go

    Davies

    Cavare
    Pinnock
    Lyndsay

    Mowatt

    Moore
    Woodrow


    Subs
    Brown
    Bahre
    Mcgheehan
    Dougal

    So I'd be looking to sign 4 players to the starting 11 with a back up keeper and two for the subs bench also taking in to consideration that no one leaves and new contracts are signed.

    To go due to squad size would be Jackson Fryers Thiam Vic, hedges, pinnilos and put Williams x2 Styles etc in u23s. It's harsh and this isn't criticism of our fantastic squad but tough decisions to be made to stay in a tough league if we get promoted that is.

    Well, if the owners stick to what they've said we should have a £6 million plus transfer kitty. 4/5 quality signings and l think a few would be surprised.

    Lindsay and Pinnock. Possibly Woodrow and Cavare and maybe Brown.

    For £6 million, I think you'd struggle to get 2 or 3 Championship standard players, these days.

    Pinnock and Woodrow. Some others would make a strong bench like Lindsay, Davies, Brown, Mowatt and Moore.

    We won't go down the route of buying proven championship players like you say you'd be looking at big money and then wages We will buy young players and give them chance to make the step up.

    I would like to think as a statement of intent our 1.5 million transfer record that's two decades old would finally be beaten. If that was done and within the usual undisclosed fee they mention it's been broken, I reckon it would sell more season passes.

    Yeah like when Preston broke their 1.5 million pound transfer record to sign Potts. Bet that sold a few half passes for them.
    I agree it would be nice to see it broken but not sure how many extra season tickets it would sell.

    Didn't Mester Conway say the policy would continue- but the source of young uns for the production line would be from a higher up the foodchain?
    I'm sure Chelsea and Man city will have a few to offload sometime soon.

    Three years ago, some posters were falling over themselves to claim a lot of our players weren't Championship standard. Sam Winnall was a popular choice for not being good enough. Fast forward a few months, after the players showed they WERE good enough, and the same people were bemoaning the self same lads who weren't Championship standard according to them were now being sold!:D
    If we win promotion, then these lads have earned the right to showcase their abilities at the higher level.

    Bit too early to be singling players out for the Get Rid List. Especially when we need them all to be playing at 100% until the end of the season.

    Anyway, hasn't @Young Nudger already told us several times that some of our squad wont cut it at the next level? And had his head bit off for saying so?

    Mowatt has already proved himself at that level. I fully expect McGeehan to look the part as well this time around. Moore - could go either way. May look a whole lot better than he did last season, or may end up being one of those strikers who is absolutely prolific in the lower divisions but can never quite bridge the gap. Think Will Grigg, or Chris Greenacre from a while back.

    My main concern if we do go up is an overall lack of pace, especially at full back and up front.

    Same with Potts, to be fair. He was pretty awful last year. I'd hoped he would make the jump up, I was even confident that he would, but he's hardly proven.

    No, £6m budget increase - not transfer increase.

    Some of that could easily be spent by tying Lindsay, Pinnock and Davies to better and longer contracts.

    Time will tell.
