Assuming we stick with our 4-2-3-1 from our strong end to the season, we have some good depth particularly going forward. A quality loan or two and I think we're done (Lonwijk would be perfect!)
Wouldn't expect a few loans out as well from players I've not included. If someone was offering Pattenden regular starts in league 2 I think it could be good for all parties. Ward similarly.
What a fantastic bunch. We’ve recruited very well. For the first time in a few years we have a squad that is very experienced but perhaps young enough to be well-equipped for a 46 game league season. Very impressed with this summer’s recruitment so far. Much better than last summer.
given Mr L’s customer pleasing outlook, will the moaning about not being kept sufficiently informed on knocks finally be met with full access to player medical records or will the club still keep schtum?
His work rate was second to none, but we need more goals from somewhere.. and unfortunately he just didn't find the net on a regular enough basis for me to hope he comes back this season. Personal opinion of course
The number 10 role is something I am wondering who is best there. Scowen played it at Wembley but it’s certainly not his best position.
I’m beginning to wonder is Kone can do a job in the number 10 role. can Udoh play there if Kone is up top (I’m assuming Vokes will be impact from the bench when we need someone to help the ball stick upfront. Not a starter)

Really happy with this one. The squad is starting to look good IMO!
Udone
Another excellent addition to the squad
Will be interesting to see how the team lines up on the first day of the season
Brilliant news. I suspect 2/3 loanees now and we are all set.
Things are shaping up well.
I’m yet to find a Shrewsbury Town fan with a bad thing to say about him.
The statement from Shrewsbury might be quite telling.
Shrewsbury Town are disappointed to confirm Dan Udoh has turned down the offer of a new contract and has left the club to join Wycombe.
Signed from AFC Telford United in May 2019, the striker made 181 appearances in blue and amber, scoring 38 goals.
Dan’s contract with Town expired this summer.
Negotiations with the forward began last August with the club going on to meet his demands in terms of wages and a three-year contract.
But Dan has opted to leave after being offered more money elsewhere.
Shrewsbury Town would like to thank Dan for all his service over the past five years.
——————
They state we offered more money but I wonder if we have also matched the contract length.
Nige now and we would be in heaven.
WE MEAN BUSINESS

Have to remember that ay any given time 3or 4 of these players will be out with 'a knock.'
Given the quality of the new training facility I expect less of those than before
given Mr L’s customer pleasing outlook, will the moaning about not being kept sufficiently informed on knocks finally be met with full access to player medical records or will the club still keep schtum?
I posted this elsewhere but the one I know is absolutely gutted
The Shrewsbury fans are rightly pissed at the statement on their official site. Classless
Yes... not very tactful
First interview with Dan. He seems like a lovely chap. "I'm a human being first."

NEW SIGNING | Dan Udoh (youtube.com)
All I want now, is the club to announce that there will be a shuttle bus from the Wycombe Hub coach station, every home game.
Bit windy up the new training ground innit!
Does seem like a nice fella doesn't he.
Our front line has a few various options now. that could be a handful for any defence in this league.
I still think we need a pacey right winger and possibly one more CB (hopefully Nige!)
The new WanderersTV studio is on the way...
I wonder if there is any possibility of getting Dale Taylor back for a season. Do we even need him now?
I loved his work rate and what he did for the team.
His work rate was second to none, but we need more goals from somewhere.. and unfortunately he just didn't find the net on a regular enough basis for me to hope he comes back this season. Personal opinion of course
Maybe the data doesn’t support it
Wow that sounds flash Phil. New sofa?
The number 10 role is something I am wondering who is best there. Scowen played it at Wembley but it’s certainly not his best position.
I’m beginning to wonder is Kone can do a job in the number 10 role. can Udoh play there if Kone is up top (I’m assuming Vokes will be impact from the bench when we need someone to help the ball stick upfront. Not a starter)
I’d quite like to see Lubala given a go in the No.10 role.
When he played wide last season he showed that he could hold the ball and then offload it to bring others into play. Good skills in that role.
He also works hard and can shoot, which is very important for a No.10 as they’ll be plenty of opportunities to shoot from 20-30 yards.
Given he’s probably not first choice up front or on the wings, it might be worth a punt.
