Squad

[Verdad]

I know it’s been done to death but now the pre-season is over; what is everyone’s starting 11 including subs? (Although we have not seen everyone)

& is anyone still deadwood? & where else do we need signings - For me our 11 can’t be far off what started today?

Maxwell

Turton
Ekpiteta
Nottingham
Husband

Robson
Virtue

CJ
Anderson
Kemp
Yates

subs:

Fojticek
Thorniley
Mitchell
Antwi
Ward
Sarkic
Lubala
KaiKai

Backups:

Shaw
Williams
Madine

Loan out:
Howe

Sell:
Sims
Feeney
Devitt

Not sure how many to the 22 squad this actually counts as ? but for me we still need 3/4 new signings.

Goalkeeper - backup
Centre back - push starting 11
Right back - starting 11
Striker - push starting 11

For me a CB, RB and ST brought in, with Howe going out on loan. That would make me happy going into the season.

We look weak from set pieces based On the fact other than Nottingham and Epi we are a Physically small side. This also makes us less dangerous with our own set pieces too.

Would still like an experienced big centre half in .

We need a specialist set piece coach to spend some time with the lads. Both Offensive and defensive have been woeful.

Where was Virtue today?

Thought Howe did OK today TBH. Looks like the Gabriel deal is probably off?

Probably worth keeping one or maybe two places in the squad free until near the end of the transfer window.
Play a few league games, and then see what we need?

 

[Ghosts of Electricity]

Why is everyone so keen to get rid of howe?

He's had a problem with his hamstring

Not sure RE virtue? Anyone else know? - and according to Nixon Gabriel is still on (though as it’s been well documented I don’t think he’s reliable anymore)

mmm I’m not a fan of Turton but he’s solid enough to start the season

 

[Verdad]

Why is everyone so keen to get rid of howe?

From what I’ve seen pre season he’s okay going forward but has struggled defensively. I think he will be best suited going out on loan for a season and us signing a proper RB who adds something to the team

 

[Spider29]

This is the team ....
The team that picks itself.....
Maxwell
Turton Marv Notts Husband...
Anderson Robson Ward.....
CJ Yates Kai Kai.......
He took his 3 most influential players off at half time to rest them for bigger days.....

 

[Spider29]

Kemp can’t start because he is cover for CJ....
Bez is cover for Kai Kai and can’t start yet

 

[clappers]

Was Virtue not the lad who ended up in A & E?

 

[Ghosts of Electricity]

From what I’ve seen pre season he’s okay going forward but has struggled defensively. I think he will be best suited going out on loan for a season and us signing a proper RB who adds something to the team

That's fair enough, but I'd like to keep him around as I think he will get opportunities here very quickly due to the sheer weight of games we have coming up.

Four your o/p question I'd say one or 2 CBs and that will do.

When do you have to name your squad? When the sesson starts or when this window closes? I assume you can make changes to your nominated squad during the hext transfer window?
