If we want to get out of this league once and for all we need consistancy. And I think a full season under Larry will bring us that. Plus we need a guy who can get 30+ goals a season. We know Jermaine can do it. So we should try our best to keep hold of him. And Delph is one of the hottest prospects on the planet. A whole host of big clubs across Europe would want him in thier squad. I don't think much needs changing. Afew tweeks here and there like someone has already said.

But I guess it all depends on Bates and if he wants the money. Because there will definitely be offers on the table for our key squad members.

beckford can, and will, be replaced

Oh he can. Like you say Lambert could do exactly the same job, if not better, we have a much higher quality squad to Bristol. He could do one better in our team.

Beckford 34 goals and Delph is class in the centre and rightfully deserved the leagues young player of the year. A couple of bad games and everyone wants rid. I agree we need to keep Snodders and Bechio but imo Beckford and Delph are more influential. Totally disagree with him having the pen though, should have been snodders or Robinson

The thing for me mate is the money we'd get for delph and beckford(whose attitude stink's and once again he's bottled the big game) would mean we could afford to offer a deal to sodje have enough to boost the coffer's and strengthen the squad whilst been able to keep beechio,snodgrass and robinson.
I'd love to keep beckford and delph if we could do that and strengthen the squad whilst beating the "look at me" attitude out of beckford.
I don't think we can though especially with the redevelopment plans papa smurf has in place!!

If only Beckford could just drop the bad boy attitude eh. That'd be some player to have upfront.

Yeh i know where your coming from and he has bottled so many big games but I still think whilst he is frustrating to watch most weeks he still comes up with the goods. And I feel there is no reason why the same or very similar squad carn't walk this league. I personally don't think getting rid of half a dozen and bringing in half a dozen will do us any good

I think that there is money to spend this summer. I don't buy this Bates is only out to take all our money thing. Even if he is the best way to make his money from us is to invest in a team who'll blow this league away, and be able to do well in the chamopionship. He can then sell up, or continue to build on it.

I think that Grayson is a decent manager, and I think we should win auto next year. If beckdford is to be sold, then lets do it early, and get a replacement in. If we don't sell him then great. We have a guy who will score 30 goals next season hopefully.
