Whoops, better type next time...

So, as the title suggests, anyone know how I currently stands???

Think your opening post sums it up well.

I assume the traditional method of hauling yourself up assuming a balanced position

To my knowledge...

GK Elliot Justham

DF Ben Nunn
DF Luke Pennell
DF Liam Gordon

MF Matt Robinson
MF Charlee Adams
MF Dan Sparkes
MF Andre Boucaud
MF Tyrique Hyde
MF Elliot Bonds

FW Michael Cheek
FW Chike Kandi
FW Elliott Romain

Of those, the only ones I anticipate could leave are Nunn, Cheek or Romain. However, if they happen to all stay, I'd say we're a goalkeeper, three defenders and a winger short of what we need. Anything on top of that, such as a freebee loan would be a bonus but I can't see us with a 20+ squad this season.

Decent basis there if we could keep them.

Cheers

Don’t envisage many staying if we can get rid, some hefty contracts were signed last year, let’s hope uncle John can HELP us out further by signing a couple.

Obviously a weak point going in to the season with any number of players still possibly leaving but with a winger and devote bank coming in there's not a bad starting xi there for the season ahead... Romain and Kandi could be an interesting front 2 as ER got a bit of confidence after January on loan and scored a few

I said on my previous post I couldn't imagine anyone being snapped up bar Cheeky or Romain. Ahem...Updated following today's arrivals and departures:

GK Elliot Justham

RB Ben Nunn
LB/CB Luke Pennell
LB Liam Gordon
LB Ollie Harfield
CB Alex Davey
RB Gavin Hoyte

CM Matt Robinson
CM Tyrique Hyde
CM Elliot Bonds

ST Michael Cheek
ST Chike Kandi
ST Elliott Romain

13 now. After the arrival of Hoyte, I would not be surprised to see Nunny leave.

Therefore I expect we require 1 goalkeeper, 2 defenders, 3 midfielders (of which 2 wingers?) which would take us to 18.

Amended above to include Harfield arrival

Out of curiosity reading a report of Still & Barnets first pre season game against WBA yesterday, noticed a few Bee’s fans were saying that Elliot Justham played the 2nd half in goal for them replacing Cousins ...
Does this mean we are officially Keeper-less ?

If that's true ... what the hell is stilly doing?

There's helping taking some players off the wage bill... and then there is ....,,,,, !!!'

Barnet site reports as "triallist 2nd half keeper"

Not sure why he'd need to trial unless it was due to checking his injury out. JS has managed him for years!

Fairly sure it wasn't him anyway.

We will surely see when our games start if we have 2 Trialist keepers playing for us
