2014 Squad : Mon Nov 25, 2013 8:35 am  

So what's everyone's view on the squad for next year. Have the new signings improved us and any rumours on further additions . What's the latest on Robbo, still an option or anything concrete been agreed?

Hard to answer this really.The recruitment is hardly
spectacular but could prove to be better than last
years squad in time.First thing i want to see is the
level of fitness to improve.Dont want to see pot bellies
in our first friendley like we saw at Dewsbury last Jan.

Very excited about next year,
But then I'm very excited about every season.

Last weeks press said we were always interested in recruiting good players and we were still looking but there was not a great deal available at the moment.

It's also good sense to keep some funds available in case we get a few an injuries in one particular area and have to try and bring someone in.

Quite like are squad this year recruitment has been good but i dont think it has been great IMO

I am reliably informed that Liam Finn is not in Bastians plans and has been told he is second choice over Gareth Moore, he has told Bastian he is contracted and will fight for his place but is really miffed at the whole scenario and how it's panned out after his loyal service. Obviously clubs have already recruited which leaves him a little shafted, lets hope he still takes a wedge of FR salary cap.

I think we have recruited well on paper. now to see how the coaching staff can take us to the next level. Heard Ambler saying the squad have been told we MUST come 1st or 2nd next year

The pre season friendlies will be interesting to see how the new squad and playing style mentioned is shaping up.

No pressure there then
At this stage with our squad and the competition we have it does look
a very big ask.

Wouldn't say he is shafted as he doesn't want to go anywhere else in the Championship as Fax found out when they tried to sign him as for his replacement don't think he's too much to worry about do you

Don't know your full squad but Ben won't let you down and there will be no problem of you finishing in the top 4 Obviously the aim is to finish first but does anyone think Fax will do that next year and if not where will you finish and how many new players have you signed so far
