So what do we need to do? What are the priorities?
As things stand, I think (with Waggers gorn) we've got one place available.
I cant see the point in keeping Morton's loan 'live' - need to do a deal of some sorts with Salford to free that place up. He is unlikely to play again so even paying off the full amount wouldn't actually cost us any money as such (on top of what we've got to pay) and that would creative a space.
Eyoma - A very decent player but with Willis's return, Baldwin hopefully coming back, Tyler as well hopefully, MBete...i think we will need to sacrifice this one which would be unfortunate but we need to strengthen further up the pitch.
The Vicar - surely need to end that loan early if we can but I guess that might not be totally straight forward.
James Wilson - get him out on loan to some non league outfit!
That would leave 5 spaces freed up.
Guiness Walker Surely got to try and extend his contract?
For me, our real priority surely has to be the midfield department which collectively is woeful and offers very little going forward. I think we need two nice and sprightly midfielders; one a ball winner like McCormack, one a good passer of the ball. We also need a big striker that can score goals, our top scoring striker in the league after 20 matches has two goals. Crazy. He doesn't even have to be great! Just someone who can chip in with a few goals, rotate in that role with Eaves and provide us with another outlet.
I don't think we need more than a 3 or 4 out, 3 or 4 in to keep us up. But the ones coming in need to be good upgrades and able to work well with the underperforming 'stars' we have such as Roberts and Fosus who would greatly benefit from better service etc.
There will surely be some wiggle room for the new manager whoever he is to do a bit of trading; we've found out previously when the Chinese came in that wholesale changes in January (even expensive incomings) can have a huge detrimental effect. We are in a similar league position now to what we were at the time when Jimmy came in and spent a load of money early in the New Year which ultimatley caused a two tier dressing room and probably was the main cause of our demise that time round.

think if he plays a certain amount of games he gets a deal anyway. but its further up the pitch we need to sort out - the midfield is terrible and our forwards arent fit (not all their fault) - but we basically only have eaves. do the board take a punt on the new manager, offload / pay off some of the terrible signings and back him - or do we hope we fudge it, finish 5th bottom by luck and start again in the summer?! |

That’s a hell of a gamble, personally I’d recruit the right manager first, then give him a few games to evaluate the sicknotes we’ve got and bin the worst, sign 4-5 and hope for the best, L2 is horrible. |

All you need to know about L2 is to look at Carlisle' league position. Double relegations imminent for them? |

Do not forget that many judges were here lauding their recruitment last January and bemoaning our activity. |
