Going to be some difficult descions for the management over the next few weeks of who to keep and who to let go, it is probably made more difficult given the injuries to players under contract at the moment who Paul won't have even seen play whilst manager.
Take the loan players out of the squad and there are some that can form the nucleus of next season's squad and others who still need to prove their worth, the spine of the team is the crucial area with a keeper, at least one maybe two central defenders, a box to box midfielder and a proven goal scorer at the very least needed to be added we maybe lucky and get some decent loanees in those areas but there is always the risk of them being called back from their loans which just adds to our problems as seen with some this season.
Going back to the forum on Thursday I think those areas are already under the spotlight for the management and feel from what was said that there is genuine reason for being optimistic that the right players will be brought in and we will see more of Paul & Leam's stamp of attacking football and defending from the front.
