Starters

With the signings of Wilkes, Chaplin, Thomas, Sibbick it looks like Thiam, Moore, Brown and Cavare maybe warming the bench for a while.

We have a big squad now with plenty of options, i presume the players brought in where chosen because they would fit Stendels way of playing immediately.

Ive no idea how he can keep so many players happy when only 11 can start, its obvious quite a few need to go out on loan, ie Vic, J Williams, Bird, Mottley Henry, Miller, I cant see them making the bench with the likes of Styles, Brown, Dougal who may struggle to get more than a spot on the bench.

 

Buffalo wings with blue cheese sauce and celery sticks for me please.

With Woodrow and Chaplin up top

Wilks and Thomas on the wings.

Very exciting

 

Plenty of options in most positions but would still like another centre mid

I read somewhere that Daniel was looking to have two players to cover every single
position in the team. Footballers thrive on playing games so lets hope that he is able to
keep everyone happy.

I have a feeling that he's trying to bed Kieffer in gradually following his injuries and
depending on the physicality of the opposition, he might yet get to play alongside Cauley
in quite a number of our games during the season.

Garlic mushrooms for me

 

Can't help but think that Chaplin will play as more of a number 10 or as part of the front 3. Looks very creative from what I've seen of him. Surely we can't drop Moore? He'll be a right handful for defences and at the very least will create space for Woodrow with the marking that he'll require.

 

He's been bought as a striker.

Already said he wants to play in his natural position

 

Octopus. 8 times better than anything else.

 

Chaplin, Thomas, Wilkes , Woodrow appears to be his preferred front 4, Mgeehan and Mowatt are definite first choice and there is a few options for rotating the defence.
Moore, Thiam, Brown, Bahre , Dougal, Collins, Cavare,Halme, Williams x2 Styles s a strong bench with a few left to sit in the west stand watching.

If you go back to the team that played at Donny away last season we certainly have strengthened and potentially with more to come in a left back, striker and DCM it will be interesting to see what happens. To me with anymore additions the squad would be too big, i get the 2 to each position and players to fight for their place in the team and having options off the bench but would presume if anymore come in some will have to leave and i always end up with garlic mushrooms.
