It looks like unless we go on a miracle run we should be planning for season.l presumably play 433
With out of contract players leaving not many I’d keep. Oluwayemi, Thompson and curtis(if terms are right. The rest can go.
Goal keeper - Toby Savin free agent at the end of the season from Accrington Stanley good young keeper lots of league one games fits the model. Or if Macey continues to impress. That leaves josh and Toby Stewart as back up.
Full backs - I don’t think need major surgery maybe move Hume on or further up the pitch and use Liam Vincent as back up to Ogilve.
Centre back - right side need someone comfortable on the ball left side back up to Towler ideally 2 in. Would love Nathan Thompson back (out of contract at posh) experienced and recently got promoted out of this league and I’d imagine would love a chance to play along side his brother.
Midfield 3- we have Pack, Lowery, Morrell and Thompson no spark in them plus playing a 3 in my opinion need 2 in Tommy Leigh would be a good signing only 22 from Portsmouth would need a fee. As well as someone like Sean Clare from chalton (free agent), maybe the link with mousinho might be enough to persuade Cameron Brannagan to come here from Oxford (free agent) probably goes to the championship though.
Front 3 - we only currently have Lane and bishop signed up so getting Curtis to resign is probably needed. Which would give us the left right and through the middle with no depth at all. James Norwood from Barnsley (free agent) good experience to push Bishop maybe even over bishop. One other is macaulay langstaff smashing goals in for notts county. But we really need some pace so really need 3/4 in for the front 3. Not sure who/ where we get that from. Corey Blackett-Taylor always takes us apart(contract expires this summer) get some cleaver loans from prem teams someone like Jesurun Rak-Sakyi from palace but might even be pushing to get in their squad next season.
I’ve only really quickly used transfermarkt for players that might fit what we need. I’m sure people with more knowledge than me could come up with names. I’ve also mainly used free agents as there are some very good ones available but would have to act fast.
