| So at the moment the squad looks a little like this
Goalkeepers 23. Luke McCormick 21. James Bittner
Defence 4. Carl McHugh 6.Peter Hartley 5. Curtis Nelson 19. Aaron Bentley 16. Ben Purrington 2. Kelvin Mellor 3. Gary Sawyer
Midfield 7. Lee Cox 22. Callum Hall 11. Gregg Wylde 10. Graham Carey ? Josh Simpson
Strikers 18. Deane Smalley 17. Ryan Brunt 9. Reuben Reid 24. Louis Rooney 15. Tyler Harvey 14. Jake Jervis
For me The only obvious area that still needs strengthening before the window closes is the Midfield. More central options needed and poss someone natural on the right side of midfield. Also a cover at right back in defence too.
I can see one or two leaving before the window as i cant see Del Bhey wanting to carry 6 strikers.

There has been no updates on him since he got the injury but im guessing he will be at pre season tomorrow if only to do light training as he wont be 100% at all regardless. |

| You say 6 strikers Angry, but one's on his first pro contract, another is still young and learning, another is out injured and shite, so it only really leaves us with three - although I do accept that Jervis and Brunt seem fairly similar players on paper, Reid also at a push. Don't forget Reubs is potentially out for the start of the season also! |

Are you suggesting we dont play youth :O dont let ejh hear you say that Regardless of the nitty gritty there are 6 in the squad at present and when they are all fit 1 or 2 of them will be moved on as Del Bhey will not be able to keep 5 strikers happy with the number of game time they will want even if Rooney not expecting to play at all. Smalley would be the one i would pay up now and finish off strengthening the midfield and find cover for right back. i havent looked yet but has the fact Cox has been given number 7:affraid: next season ended the farms obession with Norris coming back? |

| My wife understands it better and I said could be the way the team line up. I nearly said when I posted it, bowing to Angry supreme knowledge but I like it this way |

Ryan Lane a player from the youth team who was given an extended year in the academy in the summer due to a knee injury he had last year. |

| Number 8 on way
Quote DM
He said: "We are hopeful of doing one more this week. That would take us up to five signings.
"It's something we need, just to strengthen the core of the squad.
"We have got a good core of the squad just now, and we have got a number of younger players in there as well."
Asked by Herald Sport whether his next recruit would be a central midfielder, Adams replied: "It probably would, yes."
That is the area of the squad which currently appears to need the most strengthening between now and the season-opening trip to AFC Wimbledon. |

| The arrival of Simpson and the addition of Ryan Lane gives us a 21 player squad at present. If we assume that 22 is the optimum squad size then we can't expect many more arrivals unless others leave.
Who might the 22nd man be? My money is on Norris but that rumour has been knocking around for a while now and the deal isn't done yet... I wonder why not?
Either way the luxury of having an almost complete squad of players as pre-season starts augurs well. |

I think 2 central midfielders and someone who can play right back to allow Mellor to play as a winger is the only needed aareas to strengthen and i think the squad will be set. Having said that I still believe del bhey will move one or two on to make room for additional players to come in. |

I hope we dont sign Norris, he wont be the Norris of old so i would look to someone younger, with Simpson joining and possibly injury prone i think we need young legs in midfield to be on the safe side, someone who can play forty odd games a season. |
