One striker, one CB (who can play as RB if needed) :ayatollah:

3 or 4 maybe. A speedy winger, Bellamy, a cover centre back and a cover left back

After Bellamy?

Two more.

Central defender who is versatile

Striker.

However. I suspect that Helgusson and Mason could become one hell of a
partnership. Joe got a dozen goals in his first season at this level, and he
was only a bit-part player. We could be looking at our 20 a season striker
right there!!!!

11 :lol: I think if Bellers comes back we could also do with a winger with pace and a striker proven at this level. E.g Maynard.

Two defenders (atleast one CB) and a striker.

We need another defender. We've got Taylor, Kev, Hudson, Turner and then only Blake and Keinan as back up

I think when Bella's signs, we'll have enough striking options. We can play one, two or three up top with the players we have.

I don't think we need a winger coz again we have players like Bellamy, Kimbo, Conway and Kadeem Harris that can all play wide. Then you have players like Cowie and Mutch (possibly Lawrence) who can all play there too.

Personally I'd like two full backs for each side as cover, pref one that can play CB too when needed

Four,,,not including CB. Two defenders, one midfield/winger, & one proven target man upfront.

3 or 4 now and I think 1 or 2 could be vital in january for automatic promotion.

striker CB, fullback now,

maybe a loan midfielder,
i think then we can see how we go till january but grab one or two then most definately,

we'l probably be doing ok at christmas, but towards the end of the season could get messy

If Darcy and Keinan go and we sign Bellamy and Lawrence then I think we would still need another 5/6 players. We need another right back and left back, also teams that get promoted usually have 4 good centre halves so along with Hudson and Turner we would need two more, then we would possibly need another winger and then the most crucial part of the jigsaw would be a goalscorer, to fire the goals to take us to the promise land. If we don't sign that goalscorer then I think it might be a bit difficult for us to get promoted.
