Don't apologise, matey, you are busy becoming a Rolvsøy IF legend! I can't answer the questions myself, as I haven't seen any games yet this season aside from the FC United pre-season friendly where I was stupid enough to predict that Ian Craney was going to be a class act I'm sure there will be plenty of responses to this thread from other members, but I can't imagine too many of them disagreeing with the fact that we absolutely must retain Kyle Jacobs and Phil Jevons next season.

I would keep, Ormson, Duxbury, Lees, Fagbola, Jacobs, Howard, Jevons and Dennis certainly, I would consider keeping Milligan, Moke, Battersbea, O'Halloran and Charnock and I would certainly get rid of Platt and Moses, them two are useless and I've no doubt Hand and Craney will be told to do one!

Only seen a couple of games this season, but from what I've seen and judging by match reports, it seems pretty obvious that we need to improve the midfield.
We also need some bigger players to get us out of this league. We're too lightweight at the moment.

Thats almost a starting XI youll keep fugde. Where do we need improvments? Midfield is mentioned here,but what about the central defence? From what ive seen this season there are some cheap goals concived?

Anyone with any sense at the club will see that we need to do everything we can to keep Jevons.
Which means I fully expect him to be departing within the next month or so.

Agree with every word, ars. The trouble is finding players with both pace and a bit of skill who will play at this level. I'm not sure they exist!
The centre midfield pairing has to be a the absolute priority for next season. If we persist with long balls up to a target man, then an actual target man is another priority.
I also think we need to try and avoid short-term loans next season. I know beggers can't be choosers, but players coming for a month and then going isn't going to help us develop a team who can challenge for promotion.

I think we desperately need a goalkeeper.

normally we'd certainly need some goalkeeping competition, but it seems at this level as though clubs often have one 'keeper, and then use the loan market as necessary. i also think ormson has improved an inordinate amount over the course of the season. over time i've moved towards blaming idiot defenders - he's had to be a 'sweeper-keeper' too much because those in front of him aren't dealing with long balls/balls over the top. tunnicliffe, for instance, certainly didn't help him one iota, and at solihull the other week he was effectively playing 'rushback' due to the ineffectiveness that day of o'halloran to some extent, but particularly charnock.

I would like a big strong experienced Goalie. Someone who commands respect like O'Donnell did.

Agree Tom but we have Ian Ormson for another season as he has accepted a 1 year contract according to Gavin Browne.
Lordy has stated that he wants all this done and dusted asap but with Jevons already going, I am apprehensive as to who else is staying. I was going to start making my own wish list but I don't want to tempt fate. Would be nice to know who a majority of the squad is before the season starts....for a change.
Who is that one with the yellow boots, again?

It will be interesting to see which stronger high profile players Lordy can attract and sign up. Not forgetting being as to keep hold of our better players such as Jacobs, Lees, Duxberry. So waiting to see which high profile clubs will be included for the pre seasons.... But not holding my breath. The team can gel and hopefully drive towards a better start to the season. Seem to remember we has 5 games in the first tow weeks of this season, so we need to be firing on all cylinders. This part time lark doesn't give much time for training to put right whats not happening. IMHO we need to get back to FT ASAP .
Next season should see better crowds which should increase the playing budget and revenues climbing. We need a social club or to buy the bungalow and do what othe clubs do and generate some real income.

We need a 20 goal a season striker. Dennis Im undecided on still. He has the potential and maybe this one season transitional period may do him some good. However, I doubt Lordy will accept this view and I hope he wouldn't. Battersby I personally haven't seen enough of him to make a judgement on him.

I personally think Dennis could be a great forward for us but he needs two wing forwards around him.
I'd have Dennis in the centre and players like Howard and Moke either side, Dennis isn't fast or strong enough to play on his own and I feel Jevons alone wasn't enough, at Curzon he played in a 3 man forward line and was amazingly successful.
As Tom says, I don't know enough about Battersbea
