Re: What do we need for next season?

What do we need? With respect to playing staff...
a) Cling on to Kenny Arthur with all our efforts, for one. He's played brilliantly this season, especially after coming back from a serious injury. You can bet your bottom dollar that there'll be a lot of bids for him this summer. We must keep him.
b) A solid, consistent back four. Cavanagh, Edwards, Kempson and Richardson are capable of this, however the third person in that line up leads me to point (c).
c) Get Darran Kempson signed. Get investment from wherever - we must this player to the club. He's an old fashioned defender who never put a foot wrong in a red shirt this season, a must sign.
d) A midfield, please. Craney has not been effective, he can't be the first name on the team sheet. Grant deserves a regular spot as does Proctor. However, other than those two I'm not sure. Todd hasn't impressed me on his return. Harris isn't strong enough to dictate the play in a defensive midfield role and Mannix hasn't found his feet. I think developing these roles properly in training would suffice rather than seeking a new player, however this leads to the next point.
e) Permanent, professional training facilities are a must.
f) Keep John & Jimmy. They do have the ability, they've just got to wise up to professional league football. The management must, however, get over their obsession with dropping players due to personal differences. Don't lie about it, we all know it happens. We're a professional club now, it's high time we acted like it.
