move on mate 
I'd argue we need depth at centre half.
Wright will go. Anderson out on loan.
Alese had his fair share of injuries and covered for cirkin at left back.
Ballard, Batth (crocked) 09 and Nectar. I'd say we need another like

And the new aussie, plus Anderson, plus young Johnson. We feel well covered to me, even if one or two go on loan.
That’s a very good championship side that is btw.
Exactly. Bench is stronger already imo.
other positions... Rigg and young Robson the winger to push for time this season?
Was reading about a new deal for Harry Gardiner as well. Will be interesting to see the lineup for the Crewe carabao Cup game tbh.
That's an option bit I think we will go with a 4 as TMs preferred formation.
Anderson's 22, I don't think we bought him to loan him out. He's looked capable enough to me, plenty of work on bulking up should see him feature on the bench regularly.
Anderson wasn't considered good enough last season, not sure how much he's improved but would be risky to rely on him. Triantis won't be ready for regular first team minutes until after Christmas at the earliest imo. Johnson is nowhere near, needs a loan. O'Nien, Cirkin, Hume all out of position. Just leaves Bathh, Ballard, Alese. All three showed last season that they're not reliable on the injury front.
We 100% need another CB, in my opinion.
I don't like Cirkin or Hume at CB (although they did ok when called on) but imo O'Nien has more than proved himself to be a quality CB at this level. Not disagreeing with you in general but for me O'Nien is firmly in solid CB territory.
I thought he looked very poor for Brighton towards the end of last season when I watched him. He was very dodgy when they played the mags away.
That being said, there’s an obvious drop down in quality and he was very good for Blackburn a couple of years ago in the championship apparently. Should be a good signing at this level.
I like how we stick to targets we want to bring in. If we don’t get them one window, we’ll try again the next.
There is always a strong thought process on how player X, Y or Z will fulfill a need in the squad.
Agreed. As you say, we also have Zak Johnson to step up next season. Enough cover there.
O'nien is a quality cb at championship level n i think he can still kick on more. Hes still learning the position but at the min hes 3rd choice cb n i dont ever worry if hrs starting there
I dont think we will loan a CB but if a real quality one is available that we love then i could still see us signing one
Baath is in last yr of his contract n nectar is unproven, as is johnson (who i really like). Anderson does need a loan move, think i said earlier in the thread its so important that CBs of all the positions go out on loan when young. Need to get used to the physicality of semior football, youth football is all ball into feet type stuff.
Lot of unknown quantities there
Johnson and Anderson were available for the last game we played and Big Tone played Gooch CB
we definitely need another centre half preferably left sided in a 2, but can play central in a 3, and in the mould of Batth not Ballard (feel Triantis is more a ball playing centre back who steps out with it, rather than stand there, head it and organise CB)
