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.

That's what happened at Sheffield United Clough releases players and then is sacked. We do need another keeper, Chapman has been injured ever since his injury at Accrington.
