Creative midfield general who can take a powerful free kick.....
Centre forward who can hold the ball and bring others into play PLUS capable of 10 goals as a minimum.
Speed merchant on either wing who can deliver pinpoint crosses into the box PLUS take accurate corners both left and right. ( Last season our corner routine was poor)
Other additions to be from the Academy....
Don't want much do I......

I hope I'm wrong but I see a squad being assembled that hopefully at best will survive in League 2. We seem to be signing a mix of other clubs cast offs and some players showing potential that could flourish under DA. I realise we still have time for some exciting signings but at the moment I feel we could struggle in League 2. The signing of Jordan Slew makes me wonder how generous the budget is for season 23/24. Signing players released by National League clubs doesn't fill me with confidence about the forthcoming season.

Derek is a decent enough manager so I don't expect us to be in too much danger of being relegated but I think the ceiling this season is stability at midtable. A few risks will be taken with signings which if they all pay off could give us like a 5% chance of pushing promotion but I'd be very surprised to see that. Although he has done it before so who knows.

He only signed pro terms in 20/21 but in 21/22 made 41 senior appearances for Salop which included 17 starts and scored 5 goals. This was his 1st real season as a pro player so imo 5 goals in league1 in your 1st season isn’t too bad with only 17 starts. The only reason he didn’t start more games was because of the manager who has now departed, Steve Cottrell who preferred tried and tested players. They have a completely new management model now who still rate Bloxham very highly but want him to go out and prove himself worthy. So if he drops down a league and comes to us this could be a very good move for him and us equally

Good old Wikki
