    I think we need to introduce some kind of sarcasm indicator on here, because some people clearly can't work out what is for themselves 
    I like this idea, and it's a good idea in theory, but how much will that impact our transfer budget
    Well, we don’t actually know what our budget is, there’s a lot of posters suggesting it’s not great, let’s face it we just don’t have a clue.

    Hull, Preston, QPR, Wednesday, Derby, Oxford & Pompey feel like the teams we need to finish ahead of (well only 3 of them)
    Can throw Stoke into that mix as well 
    At this rate we'll be in the play-offs  

     ;)  inserted to show it's a light hearted comment.

    I’d have liked us to try and sign Ryan Hardie from Plymouth. Think he’s a good player .

    wonder where we are scouting in Europe these days? I watch a fair bit of Bundesliga 2 and some great players knocking about 
    Read somewhere that Hardie is going to Preston. 



    I'll ask him, lives down the road from me and I see him in our local shop alot  :D

    I really think Ahadme will step up in the championship. He was too good last season to be playing in League one. That's why Nathan was saving him for the Championship. 
    100% he was being rested for next season like Terry Taylor

    For me, the position we need the most is center forward! Some that can play 30 plus games in the championship!
    I heard Aneke's a free agent now... 😂

    Surprised at the "if we don't strengthen we will go down" comments

    Since December we were the 2nd most in form team behind record breaking and big spending Birmingham in our division and we just set a record for the clean sheets in a season.  So we clearly aren't shit.

    Since then we lost Little Terry to Preston.  Exciting talent but very replaceable

    Obviously we need to strengthen to be more competitive but there really is no need for all the dramatics just yet.  We have a new CEO who is known for excellent transfer dealings.  A new head of recruitment who we all know can pull a rabbit from a hat.

    In the immortal words of Russel Slade

    Patience!
    You'd have to be mad to think otherwise imo. 

    No panicking here. I think we'll strengthen, and do it well, but if we made no new additions we we would come straight back down.

    He said 30 plus games, not minutes.

    It’s the fact that now suddenly the U21s are now good enough backup, for every Doughty you also get a Dempsey/Vennings, U21s should not just been thrown in, I’d much rather wait until they are ready

    Problem with Adhame, even the games he played in he looked like he was resting

    I know we allegedly narrowly missed out on him but surely Collins hasn't regressed that much that he'd drop into league two?

    Saw an interesting clip with Darragh Mcanthony as much as I dislike the guy that MK Dons are basically the club everyone is throwing into rumours this summer because they've got a few quid and appointed Paul Warne. Huddersfield feels like the most likely of those 3 with the chaos at Cardiff.

    I think we have several u21s who are better prospects than those two, and we should have more depth and fewer injuries than we did that season.

    Well we’ve lost our two rwbs in Small and Watson. So I would definitely expect us to recruit two, as well as a left wing back. 

    Ramsey plays as a RCB in Jones system. Not right wing back, and I don’t really think he suits the rwb role particularly

    Not satisfied with taking one of our players, and employing a former Charlton coach, Preston are even signing players as soon as someone mentions them in this thread.

    I can't understand the confidence of some on here. 

    Yes, we had a brilliant second half to the season, it coincided with Jones returning to our defence as well as a change of tactics. We were lucky with lack of injuries to key players too.

    We only need a couple of injuries to say, Jones and Ramsay and we're toast.

    It's vital that we strengthen with good quality players. From the little I saw of Plymouth last season,  they looked a much higher standard of football than us, and look what happened to them.

    MK are throwing a lot of money around I think. Have brought in Paul Warne who obviously has a very good league 1 promotion record. I think their plan will be to try and go back to back and reach the championship so are recruiting accordingly

    Aren’t they also more RCBs who can cover RWB, rather than more attacking WBs? I hope we don’t limit ourselves to only playing more solid defender types out there, the width and pace Small added was a big reason for the improvement in our form.

    IMO three players for two potential positions makes sense to me.

    Even if we went to a back four you could see Ramsay going to right back and Offiah/Mbengue competing for a spot next to Jones centrally.

    Don't discount the formation changing next season as well... there will be far less emphasis on us being the side expected to win games.

    I wouldn’t rule it out, but if you don’t have enough attacking threat you put yourself under more pressure. You need players who can pick out a pass or cross, others with pace who take opponents on to push the opposition back and create space for others.

    Unless we switch to a 4231 and bring in some serious pace I would be surprised to see a formation switch , think NJ likes a strike partnership. 

    4231 I wouldn't be that convinced that you wouldn't severely weaken what Coventry offers.

    Plymouth outscored 9 teams this season including a team that finished 8th and still got relegated. Whilst the two lowest goal scorers in Hull and Stoke stayed up. Jones will definitely sacrifice attacking output to make us solid as possible at the back this season even if that means playing a very defensive back 5 with Ramsay and Edwards at wingback. Even the signing of Carey as a 10 his main attribute is just spamming shots on the counter, obviously only made the 1 signing but it’s quite clear what kind of football we will expect next year

    One of the strengths of our formation last season (since December) was it could be a 3-5-2 in defence and a 4-3-3 in attack. Small's attacking ability and versatility (as well as Ramsay's) was a big part of that. If we want to be able to do the same thing then ideally we need a replacement who is comfortable attacking and defending on that side.
