Here is a surprise - I don't think the keeper, the defence, the midfield or the attack is up to standard.
I'd be happy to sign Dallas and Akinola. Even McCallum.
Can't see anyone buying Quigley so we're stuck there - part-swapsies maybe, if he'll go.
I'd like to unload Grimes, Maguire, Horton, Oldaker, Whelan, Asante, Rowe and Gyasi.
Our defence was okay with Notts County chipping the ball up for Grimes to head away, but most teams with Langstaff in them wouldn't have been that obliging. Wouldn't you rather have Halifax's centre half?
Our midfield needs refreshing. Whelan spends all his time on loan and Oldaker and Banks duplicate each other. Asante will never re-find himself with us. Gyasi's loans didn't make us a player. And Danny Rowe's great but when he's not injured he's ill, to go with being old.
I was singing Kane Drummond's praises when he was at Warrington Rylands. I'd like either Dackers from Salford or Ibie from Dagenham as an up front option. And I'd rather have Gateshead's midfielder Conteh than most of our current options.
I wouldn't sign Richard O'Donnell. He made several important mistakes during Rochdale's relegation. I would sign a potentially high class young keeper. He would enliven our defence.
I'd have liked Zico Asare from Maidstone but we look over-fullbacked.
The questions are what we can afford, who we can get rid of and how many we can bring in ........
if anything were possible,I'd ditch almost any three of our current crop to bring back Sam Clucas, released by Stoke ......
Jones earned his contract offer! And if I were Ollie Banks I'd be looking to move back to central defence.
