A look forward to Pre-season

Last updated : 04 April 2006 By Matthew Jones
Last Tuesday, we asked you what changes you would like to see Brian Little make to his playing staff in pre-season as preporation for the 2006/07 season. Here are some the replies we got.

Don't forget to keep emailing your views on what you would like to see done in pre-season to matthewtrfc@msn.com.  The best emails will go on an article like this one next Tuesday.

We need a right-back, a left back if Roberts does leave, a winger, two central midfielders (one creative midfielder and then just another one!), a goalkeeper if Achto (John Achterberg) retires, a central defender and a striker.
I would like to see us sign Dino Seremet and Stephen O'Leary from Luton Town whilst I think we should release Paul Linwood and Steve Wilson.

New contracts to

Sharps, Jackson, McAteer, Linwood, maybe Jennings

release the rest

that leaves us with

Achteberg, Sharps, Jackson, Linwood, Harrison, Jennings, McAteer, Zola, Davies, Greenacre

10 of the better players + Zola quite a good set of players, improve on them and we should be a lot lot better next season.

In:

Dino Seremet, Francis- they would be good sensible additions

Maybe look at what Liverpool and Everton release

We should try and sign Dino Seremet, Simon Francis and Stephen O'Leary whilst I think we should offer new contracts to Delroy Facey, Jennings and of course Roberts. Release McAteer, Rankine and Jackson.

Tom Davies

I would like to keep David Raven and Stephen O'Leary but release Ian Goodison. I would also like to sign a decent winger from a higher level than league one but I can't think of one off the top of my head!
