Johnson is an interesting one. 51% win rate at Sunderland, in League One but then the wheels fell off a bit. He also has that link with CFG that McCarron will likely look at. I am guessing he would be one who would 'play the youth' which would wash with a lot fans

I know that a lot on here wanted Will Still here last season. Whilst he wouldn't be my first or second choice now, would he be someone that may suit us now?? Will he have learned a lot from his time at Southampton? He is obviously at a point where he needs to rebuild his credibility in the game. Watching this interview, skip straight to about 56 mins!, it does make me wonder about him.

Salford fans currently singing “We’re going to Leicester, you’re going to…….” we are going to have some proper glamour fixtures next season!! We need to rework our old chant ‘Wednesday nights, under the lights’!!

In terms of experienced leaders, with high work rate, I would take Ben Pearson, should they decide to cancel his contract. i work with a Stoke fans who reckons he is one of a few, that they may look to ‘let go’ He wouldnt be the most exciting signing but one who could guide whatever youngsters we have left!

Yeah, ideally we would want someone who will be the captain for a few seasons. Looking back to the last time in League One, we had Oakley, who then remained captain for another two seasons after promotion

I agree with this and think Challinor would suit us. Out of interest, in terms of first teamers that will be left, who do you worry wouldn’t respect him?? I can only see a handful of the senior pros being left here as most will look to force a move

I think you are probably right here. Although part of me wonders if by virtually doubling his wages and us 'technically' being a bigger club, whether that could be enough to sway him. He likely feels that he on a good thing at Lincoln though and he will soon get better offers than us

No Skubala, or even Paul Warne, maybe on the 'Might' category???

Kasey Palmer may give you that - I know he didn't do great at Hull but the Luton fans have loved him during his loan spell there. TBH, I am only going off what the Luton fans have said and don't know if he a player known for his work rate etc.

Yeah I would go along with this. Although I wouldn't be fussed if Skipp was here next season, so long as he is fully committed and not sulking. Agree on the number 8 shout, didn't we have Oakley playing that role in League One? Someone like that would do us good 50-60 games (The glamorous Vertu Trophy and all that!!!) will mean that we need to have a decent squad of players.

I have heard a few others mention Dean Smith lately. Wouldn't be my first choice but deffo someone I could get behind. Has a history in L1, has done rebuilds, history of playing youth etc. He may also bring back Steve Walsh who is working as an 'Advisor' at Charlotte FC

I totally understand why a lot aren't going to this, but I have chosen to buy tickets - for my own personal reasons. Mainly as it will be nice to see a few of the players that bought us so much joy. If that makes me KPFC, in some fans eyes, because I choose to go to a football match then so be it.

Kasper is out of contract in June. Even with the shoulder injury and needing surgery, he would be better than the goalies we currently have!!! https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/16217628/celtic-kasper-schmeichel-shoulder-injury-hoops/

Likely putting 2 and 2 together and getting 5, from Jakub's insta post, I have a feeling he is going to leave. With that in mind, we will be looking for a GK This guy looks to be about to go out of contract, but worth 1 million at Blackpool - could be a good backup GK shout, when you look at his career appearances https://www.transfermarkt.com/bailey-peacock-farrell/profil/spieler/410436

Agree with this, and I am far from saying Rowett is someone I would want here but he did change things, harder to beat and creating more chances etc etc. If he had of had a couple of even half decent strikers at his disposal then I dont think we would have gone down (McBurnie, Windass type). I personally think we need someone new in, that the fans can get behind. Get Rowett in and we miss a chance to 'unite' the fans (as much as is possible anyway!)

Because of hearing his name on here, I watched Tolaj at the weekend against Northampton (partly to watch Jake Evans) and he did look a right handful. Looking at his figures this season, he will no doubt be chased by a host of Championship clubs. By all means, if we could get him, I would be well chuffed but I just cant see him coming to us over a Championship team.

tbf thats a good point. Whilst I would want be interested in taking player like Collins at LCFC, as I think he is the type of player we need - I wouldn't then want to then make him the highest player in League One just to get him here (or in the equiv of a Winks bracket, but for League One). Although is 10-15k over the top, for a top end League One player high? This is depending on actually IF (big if) the guy is a player that is one of the better midfielders in the division. If so, looking at last years top League One earners then maybe that particular figure wouldn't be too bad.

Yeah he is looking decent today and always looks to want the ball. He reminds me of Harry Winks (not attitude wise!!) but he also looks to get stuck into challenges. q with 50-60 games next season, he is going to have to play a fair few games

I would love to see several of these at the club. I was always put off Maja after seeing STID and how he left them, so maybe a player like that isn’t what we need. Ross Stewart would be a great shout at L1 though - if he could be convinced to drop down. Max Lowe is one that most of us turned our noses up last season but is the type of personality that we need now.

Duff is a good shout tbh. Would he leave Wycombe after only joining them several months ago?? He talked about wanting the opportunity to want to build something at Wycombe, probably off the back of things quite not working out for him at Swansea and Huddersfield (although I think he was sacked harshly at Huddersfield). Would he be happy with what he has at Wycombe and not want to risk it all, with managing us??

I certainly recall that he seemed close to being appointed. I also remember that the reaction on here, to him possibly joining wasn't great. TBF, I think he had just basically failed at Brugge

I agree. Definitely someone we turned our noses up at a couple of seasons ago, but times change. He is more of a man manager but did trust in younger players during his time at Fulham and Bournemouth If Spurs go down, I bet he fancies himself getting that

Sorry to be slow on this, but I am guessing you are just referring to the fact he is performing badly at Burnley and we just generally hire dross???? or has something actually been said?

Anyone think we could tempt Nathan Jones away from Charlton? Personally, I think he is very cringe but I would take him if we could get him. I didn't realise just how good a record he has in L1/L2, plus KDH seemed to like him

On the subject of Birch, does anyone know how he is doing? Does he still go to the games but is more 'in the background'? I was just watching this and it got me thinking of those 'better times' but Birch was very much around the club at that time.
