I’m hoping for a striker, another attacking midfielder, and possibly another winger to join our ranks. The recent standard has been a bit lacklustre, and I believe a couple of quality signings could boost my confidence. I’m not too worried about our defence; I think we’ll be solid once the season kicks off. However, I do have some reservations about Robbie Cundy; he needs time to acclimatise.

With the departure of Macaulay Langstaff and now Junior Morias, our striker department is weaker. I’m somewhat disappointed that we let Morias go. If he’s not up to the mark, then his departure should be permanent and a replacement should be brought in. Morias might have had more playing time, but I wouldn’t fault him if he requested the move back to Dagenham & Redbridge. This leaves us in need of a few more players. I’d like another winger to give us more options alongside Jodi Jones. I’m uncertain if we’ll get the same performance from Adam Chicksen as we have in the past, and if the fans’ forum comments about Jones playing further up the field will work out. We’d need someone to cover, as we only have two left-sided wingers. An attacking midfielder would be beneficial, but I don’t think the club will sign many more players who are guaranteed to start or be in close competition for those places.

I don't think the squad is too far away now, I think the fact Morias has departed means another attacker will be signed and then I'm actually struggling to think what other position we need to sign a player for!

We don't have the budget to do a Stockport/Wrexham and have a big squad. If we replace Morias that would give us a squad of 23 (excluding the youngsters). I think that's fine to be honest, I’d rather have a slightly smaller squad with quality players that can play more than just the one position - which is what we have done (hopefully!). 

Yes we are going to get injuries but we’d have to have some sort of voodoo curse if 3 players end up suffering season ending injuries before the winter again!

I hope we sign a striker, as we're short up front, but the squad looks promising.

While there’s scope for more players, I anticipate that the new signings will likely be more of squad players rather than first-team competitors. I’m fine with this, as long as we sign a striker. We’re quite thin in that area, and a good signing would boost our confidence.

a good thread:

 

 

It’s old news, but I’m surprised that Alex Kirk hasn’t found a club. I wonder if Bromley will pick him up? Their manager has said they would like him back. As for us, I would like a striker and an attacking midfielder. If the club could recruit two exciting players for these positions, I think we would have a strong squad to fight for promotion.

Some of our fans act like we’re a million miles away. They probably haven’t seen how the team has done in person during pre-season and are judging the results solely.

I think one or two players would be enough to add depth come January. The attacking midfield might need an addition if we are to play two players in this role. Unless Sam Austin gets more game time, the club could use players that offer quality and something different. I don’t think a keeper should be a concern. Alex Bass looks great, and Sam Slocombe is more than capable of covering. Aidan Stone could do better with the level of protection given to Bass against Tranmere.

I think a striker could make a difference. I want to wait and see how we do, but I think there’s a chance we might strengthen further in the next transfer window. I just hope we can defend more like we did against Tranmere than against Shrewsbury, but I am not worried.

I think we could manage by just signing a striker, but we require someone distinct from Jatta, Scott, and McGoldrick. A significant burst of speed would be beneficial, along with a natural talent for shooting. If we had a striker willing to try from afar, I believe they would score goals because we excel in the box but lack initiative to seize opportunities outside of it, which doesn't sit well with me.
