Your concluding sentence seems very unambitious, given the lead-in.

I expect Mellon would argue that we have secured all of those already.

Leake (likely already signed and to be announced next week) definitely a better left back than Kitching.

Drummond is certainly a young, quick striker.

And Pett is a good passing midfielder for L2 level.

I would argue that what we most need (and don’t already have) are a quick running advanced midfielder - in the Yoganathan mould. plus two wingbacks / wingers / wide midfielders. Plus at least one more strong centre back.

That’s even assuming both Raglan and Pritchard re-sign. We need a strong replacement for Hobson. Can’t rely on just Raglan and Monthe for a whole season. Sutton is demonstrably not up to required standard and doubt whether Ogle is, either, as a centre back at L2 level. Pritchard would be good as wide midfielder on either side, but obviously not both, simultaneously.
