We definitely need a midfielder and a defender (even if we lose only Ryan). I don't know how, but I'd have to replace Chapman - you can't have an invisible 7 foot reserve keeper, he has to be available to play. The way we failed in the play-offs was ludicrous - three keepers all unfit for the biggest match ever? Exeter grabbed the man I'd have taken, Olejnik, despite having an age-group international on their books.

Notice Rochdale snapped up Alessandra from Plymouth, a very good signing, but it seems odd to me to let a player go days before you appoint an new manager.
