I think Reynolds is closer to Albion rovers than he is league two.

Are you happy with these two year contracts?

It is always hard to see how players integrate and settle in a new team, but I would say on paper and based on those swaps, that makes our squad stronger so far.

On that basis then what you are saying is the next load of signings will be of a higher quality to replace white, tozer, maclausky and potentially labadie? If that’s the case then it will be a good season. If the latest signings who are fine and I don’t have a problem with are the highest quality we are signing then we won’t be stronger than last season.

Who knows?. However, the lack of depth in our squad last season is what cost us. Rigg , Reynolds ,TOE, Jalrado, Quigley , Cole, Jackson, Osadabie and JBB were all passengers as Flynn clearly did not fancy them, admittedly some he signed, but that is a lot of dead wood and hopefully Flynn has a better idea of the depth required this season.

Mclousky was excellent as a substitute but few could argue he was a 90 minute player. White was a phenomenal signing much like Karl Darlow and one that new players should not be compared to in my view. Tozer is the biggest loss and more so than Labadie, Joss, for all his gusto really only had a golden 4 months from October 17 to January 18 and in retrospect he downed tools after Tottenham. He has actually only played 44 games in two years, not in the same league as Mark Byrne.

If Flynn can get his next few signings right and use his loan signings better on the whole, our squad is shaping up to be much stronger than last seasons.

After witnessing the catastrophic effect of mass summer clear outs on two consecutive occasions, I think it is imperative that six or seven of the squad are settled for the following season. Not only that , players on 1 year contracts tend to take their foot off the gas as spring approaches, as we have also witnessed.

Ironically the player who should be on a two year deal butler isn’t!
