Hucks has gone, accept it.

But where do we go from here?

Here are the remnants of the squad:

GK:
1. David Marshall
12. Matthew Gilks
13. Declan Rudd

Left Back:
3. Adam Drury

Right Back:
2. Jon Otsemobor

Centre Back:
4. Jason Shackell
27. Gary Doherty
28. Michael Spillane

Left Midfield:
24. Matthew Pattison
26. Robert Eagle

Right Midfield:
7. Lee Croft
11. Luke Chadwick

Centre Midfield:
16. Mark Fotheringham
20. Darel Russell
38. Damon Lathrope

Strikers:
10. Jamie Cureton
33. Kris Renton
35. Chris Martin
39. Luke Daley

Ideally we need two senior players for every position, which equates to:

1 new Left Back
1 new Right Back
2 new Centre Backs
1 new Left Midfield
2 new Centre Midfield
2 new Strikers

That's 9 (how apt!) players!

If we can keep Ched, Plastic and Pearce, that's 3 decent acquisitions, leaving us needing:

1 new Right Back
1 new Centre Back
1 new Left Midfield
2 new Centre Midfield
1 new Striker

So, who do we go for? What is out there?

I'd be delighted with Rigters as the Striker and Wes Hoolahan as the Left Midfield. Then there's Peter Ramage who is available as cover for Right Back / Centre Back. That leaves us needing Central Midfielders to challenge Rusty and Fozzy... I'm none the wiser... Anyone else?

      - Oh, thought you were being sarcastic in your original post! (n/m) (NCFC) - Dog, May 7, 10:45:27
        
        no, not at all (NCFC) - blindasabat, May 7, 10:51:27
        
        and he looks like a decent enough keeper too (n/m) (NCFC) - pants, May 7, 10:56:30
        
        That's the thing... (NCFC) - Dog, May 7, 10:58:22
        
        agreed and yup (NCFC) - blindasabat, May 7, 11:01:31
        
        You'd have to speculate that he's off wouldn't you? (NCFC) - pants, May 7, 11:03:00
        
        Does that mean we'll stick with Rudd and Steer? (NCFC) - Dog, May 7, 11:09:16
        
        hopefully, you can get a loan keeper in easily enough (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, May 7, 11:41:40
    - or maybe just the squad. (n/m) (NCFC) - Dog, May 7, 10:28:02
- I'd say 3 strikers needed, based on Roeder's dislike of Martin (n/m) (NCFC) - LincolnshireCanary, May 7, 10:21:50
  - And Cureton... (NCFC) - Dog, May 7, 10:23:16
- I appear to have woken up and it's 2006 (NCFC) - pants, May 7, 10:21:35
  - It's okay, I've got an idea, lets buy Robert Earnshaw for £3.5m (NCFC) - pants, May 7, 10:28:56
    - I reckon the only way to get him here might be to put a sell-on clause in the contract tho (NCFC) - the101ers, May 7, 10:30:45
      - Be careful - that might upset some precious souls if any newly promoted teams offered it. (n/m) (NCFC) - Arganth, May 7, 10:39:58
