Current squad

[Bobby Dandruff]

Unless we sign a couple of strikers and a creative midfielder it's going to be a long season yet again.
Let's pray for some decent loans.

Agreed.

Now that the excitement of Bale-gate has subsided, we have a squad of freebies many of whom I have never heard of plus some Championship players.

We all have our fingers crossed but some inspired loan signings are needed to bolster what could be either a brilliant (hopefully) or disastrous squad.

One thing that is blatantly clear though is that a squad relying on Harris, Collins and Watters to put the ball in the back of the net is going to struggle for goals…..

I agree but I’d bet good money we will see at least 2 strikers come in. Morison brought in two in January to play ahead of Harris, Watters and Collins so no reason to think he now rates them. Wouldn’t surprise me to see Watters and Collins leave and 3 strikers brought in tbh.

True. And I thought that Hugill was a vast improvement on any other striker that we had at the time.

[Madlock]

Where do we think Isaak Davies fits in, Centre forward or wider? There’s a good player in there to be developed

Certainly and the Boro lad whose name I can’t spell although probably not the type of player we are looking for now he fitted the bill as someone to mix things up and got some important goals.

I do wonder if he’s filled the other positions knowing whatever it’s left in the budget is for upfront.

Yep, you are right and hopefully correct on the second point too.

Yes I think it's right, we've spent very little (£0) filling the rest of the squad, so we can save the rest to spend on the attacking positions (also £0)

We have cover and competition in most positions
With Davies playing as a winger, I'd like to see another left winger , a centre half and 3 forwards bought in on loan.
Still a few to move on, Collins, Watters, Whyte and Sang, and hopefully get a fee for Phillips.

Whatever happens it looks like we are shaping up to play 451, with pace and energy, something we haven't seen for a good few seasons
