Agree. Due to Ward's level of availability, I could see us sticking with just him, with Barkhuizen and Mendez-Laing as cover. Elder's record isn't quite so good, so we need 1 more, otherwise, we'll be relying on Sibley and Barkhuizen to cover for extended runs.

It would’ve been good to get Roberts who fills two positions. Loans seem a little pointless as we’d use up a slot on a back-up, and why would a side send their player here to sit on the bench?

We’ll probably need to look at some younger free agents, someone like Oduroh but more ready for the step up. If they are competent on both sides then even better.

For the defence, I think we still need 3 centre backs and at least more 1 wing back so plenty of work to do.

Perhaps someone like Jaden Brown. Was backup at Sheff Weds for 2 seasons in L1. Primarily a LB, but also covers LCB.

Good suggestion that, did a decent job against us on the final day playing left of a back 3.

Players lost so far, and minutes played in all competitions:

Roberts - 3184 mins
McGoldrick - 3142 mins
Davies, Stearman and Chester - 2896 mins
Dobbin - 2548 mins
Osula - 710 mins
White - 537 mins
Springett - 218 mins
Cybulski - 97 mins
Aghatise - 14 mins

We'll almost certainly lose Knight too, but he's already been replaced in the squad by Ward.

In terms of signings required to replace who we lost:
Roberts => LWB
McGoldrick => CF
Davies, Stearman and Chester => CB
Dobbin => AM (change to 3421)
Osula => CF
White => CB (change to 3421)
Springett, Cybulski, Aghatise => academy or higher involvement for others

We'll also need 1 or 2 more wing backs as cover/competition.

If we lose Knight and McGoldrick we won’t get players to match them so need to improve other areas of the team.

Oh no, does this mean a play has left Rosenior's team to join Warne's team?

Even the doom mongers are going to struggle to make up an excuse for this one.

And put new sheets on their beds 😁
