To an extent though, that's the nature of being a League One football club. Aside from the Bournemouths, Sheffield Utds and MK Dons of the league, the rest have to keep their fingers crossed that they don't suffer a big injury crisis.
If the dream scenario comes together and we manage to keep our existing squad together, my wish list would consist of a couple of goalies, a good centre half to replace the ageing Dean Holden, and a striker with a little more experience than Bowerman. Tempting them down to the Banks's on the proviso that they'll be second choice won't be an easy task though.
Oh to have the luxury of a couple of Darren Wracks or Neil Emblens in the squad, who could come into the side and do a job pretty much anywhere.
