The team now looks like it could be very exciting. The team from a fully fit squad with a strong bench. Davies Yiadom Lyndsay Mcdonald Fryers Barnes Moncur Williams Isgrove Thiam Ugbo Bench Mcgeehan mowatt mallan hammill Bradshaw Hedges Pinnock Pearson Mccarthy etc
I didn't add Potts Jackson Payne and some of the U23s to the bench which should be pushing. All new players on 3 year deals and our loan allowance not taken up. We also have the best manager with excellent coaching staff. Time to get behind them I think.
We haven't seen anywhere near his potential yet so I don't want to write him off yet or for him to become this season's scape goat.
He's had chance after chance after chance and contributes very little. I hope he doesn't start today. It's like playing with 10 men.
Sorry I don't agree mowatt has been played out wide and he's not a winger, he's been played central mid but without a defensive midfielder with him and come on mostly as a sub. Last season was difficult for all after January and this season has just started anyway have a good day today.
Looks potentially ok. That is a step forward from over a week ago when we were no where near after being battered at Rotherham. A positive day today.
I personally think that McGeehan could be a stand out player for us this season. Seeing him and Thiam breaking from midfield really could get our fans on their feet. Also I also feel that Liam Lindsay will become the rock at the heart of our defence. He's back in training next week and to my mind will eventually be the first name on Hecky's teamsheet. Mallan seems to be taking his time to adjust, but when he gets to the pace of Championship football, he could also be one to watch. Like some are saying, things are taking shape nicely. With probably more set to come in, all it needs now is some patience whilst the team has a chance to understand each other's styles of play so they can gel as a unit. After now speaking with a couple of acquaintances who are Leicester City fans,we can apparently prepare for a pleasant surprise as to how good the lad Barnes is. Loads of Clubs wanted to take him apparently , but he elected to join us which is flattering.? He is some player I'm being told.
I've also heard that Barnes is special (I have a mate who works for Leicester) expects him to be a regular first teamer in the next few years. McGheehan and Lindsay will be our two most important players I reckon both exciting and worrying times.
I'm positive but it's not raining in Dorset so that's probably why! And I'm off on a proper holiday with sun next week after 2 and a half weeks in not so sunny Cornwall and Devon. Good luck to the team and everybody supporting it.
Hopefully we sign another defender. I still like Curtis Nelson at Oxford United, but there are many options.
