    What (if any) changes are required to remain in the Premiership next season?

    I don't think you have any one position that is particulary weak, but more strength in depth is required, and if possible just one or two big(ish) names.

    Hard to say. Obviously a big name for a club like you is different to a big name to a club like Man Utd, but I feel you could benefit from the relegated clubs. Tuncay, Owen, Downing? All could do a job for you. Eagles and Downing on the wings would be worrying for any team.

    I doubt any of those three would come to us promoted teams.

    I think we need to add some pace in defence personally, not that Caldwell, Carlisle or Kalvenes have put a foot wrong recently just think we need some strength in depth back there and some added pace. Would also like to see us bring another striker in to take the pressure off Paterson a little. Much as I like Thompson he isn't a goal scorer so I worry about that a bit. Midfield is fine for me - long as Alexander has the legs for next season we'll be fine there - again though, maybe some cover.

    You don't want big Stevie as your centre half in the Premier League mate. :no:

    I think we definitely need to strengthen the back 4 first – ideally the left back and right back to start with.

    I’d love for Coyle to try and sign Russell Anderson from Rangers permanently, he was immense for us when he was on loan during the middle of the season, it was a shame we got an injury that ruled him out for the rest of the season – fingers crossed.

    I think it's probably a dead cert that we'll sign either Anderson or Rhys Williams on a perm deal.

    Course we'll need changes goes without saying and for me all over the place really.

    Beast will start in goal.

    Think we need a centreback with pace another fullback Walker from Sheff Utd would do me, think he's going to be an Awesome player.

    Another winger and central midfielder and a Striker with pace and power should do

    :)

    A club like us couldnt afford a player like Owen and he spends far too much time on the sidelines as well. Cant take a risk like that. Downing no chance we'll get him.

    Solid player, for me, a half decent Championship player. His distribution lets him down really. Good enough squad player though.

    He's a Sunderland player :confused....though he's not played a league game for us yet (I don't think). Not sure how serious his currant injury is either.

    Caldwell is a very poor premier league defender. Get's out paced and caught out of position every game.

    Really hope you's stay up, but you need to make signings. Stoke have done, what you's should aim to do.

    Good luck!

    Anderson did play, in the 3-0 defeat at Wigan when Sibierski scored 2 (:laugh:). He felled Heskey for one of the penalties more-or-less as soon as he came on. He's a pretty w*nk defender IMO, but so long as he's off of our books then I couldn't care less where he goes.

    Dream on ;) If hes not with us next season he will go to an established PL club. I do fully expect him to be at Bramall Lane next season.
