I see Wales Online ran a 'pick the team' tool and our most popular line up was
------------------ Phillips
Ng -- Morrison -- Nelson -- Flint --Bagan
--------- Ralls -- Vaulks -- Wintle
------------ Moore -- Collins
Looks like a solid team on paper. But there are a few things that leap to mind.
1. I personally can't see Collins and Moore playing together up top. They seem very similar and I suspect it might be an 'either/ or' when Mick is picking the team.
2. Bagan, whilst impressive in his break through year, is just coming back from injury and with only really Brown as back up I suspect we might be looking at bring someone in as at least competition.
3. The three midfielders look very very similar - high energy, get stuck in, like a long shot. This could be fine if we're just playing Moore/ Collins up top alone and a number 10 playing as a creative link between the midfield and target man. But we don't really have that (Tomlin/ Colwill aside) so again I wonder whether a No. 10 or a creative midfielder might be brought in as we can't realistically rely on either Tomlin or Colwill to consistently deliver.
Aside from that I quite like the squad, we seem to have slimmed down the wage budget, made some shrewd acquisitions and have brought on some home grown talent.
