I agree we might not have a proven right winger, but if we’re going with 4-2-3-1 we have Holden, McDonald, Nolan, Osadebe to play in the 3, as well as Jayden Campbell if he’s going to be in and around the first team, plus Gordon played on the right on Saturday. Hopefully enough to give decent service to Lavery and Adebayo.
I would like a back up striker though, someone youngster on loan or something just as back up, then I’d say we have a fairly complete squad
Personally I think Gordon on the right is an absolute waste. He’s our most versatile, dynamic, threatening striker by a mile and has little to no end product our wide.
But I had forgotten about Nolan to be fair, who really needs more game time, so that’s somebody at least I guess.
We’ve kept loans to a minimum so maybe we can still get a recognised winger in that way.
I had a feeling Rose would be back, didn’t do much wrong last season and will be good competition for Roberts.
White is a very good signing, a defender who can actually defend.
Osadebe I’m not familiar with, hopefully he can show us what he’s about as the season progresses.
It looks like we have plenty of cover for all positions except right wing.
DC knows we need a winger and is actively looking…a loan from one of our neighbours would be prudent!
I’ve always thought Ayli looked decent when coming in from wide on the right. Trouble is, he usually did that when playing as lone or furthermost forward so there was never any bugger in the middle for him to feed.
Perhaps with Gordon/Lavery in the middle and a proper attacking midfielder getting into the box too, that might be his best position for us this season?
For a moment little heart attack, Emmanuel Olisadebe. But no, Emmanuel Osadebe. But ok, heart calmed. Signings looks very promising, so I hope it will be good season. To be fair, I don’t remember that strong first eleven, maybe last season of Smith could be comparable, but it looks very good. So, good things to come.
Glad we have RB sorted, he seems like a solid player
Didn’t think we’d sign another CM but there’s plenty of competition there which is good and with the season being shorter and games coming quicker we’ll need the legs in there
Rose a continuation from last season so I’m more than happy with those signings - if we could get an equal to Wes on the opposite wing we’ll have a decent team
