The First Team Squad as at Sunday night

Just for my own amusement really I have just created a list of the squad as it is right now. Like most, I suppose, I was losing track of who is in, who is out and who is already here. I have put them in the likely positions but, obviously, some are inter-changeable, so bear with me. I also know this could change tomorrow but the current situation is:

Keeper:
Adam Davies
Nick Townsend

Full back:
Zeki Fryers
Jason McCarthy
Andy Yiadom
Cole Kpekawa
Ben Williams

Centre half:
Ethan Pinnock
Liam Lindsay
Angus McDonald
Adam Jackson

Wing:
Lloyd Isgrove
Steve Mallan
Adam Hammill
Ryan Hedges

Centre midfield:
Cameron McGeehan
George Moncur
Alex Mowatt
Sessi D'Almeida

Forward:
Tom Bradshaw
Stefan Payne

It seems we have cover everywhere except up front. Obviously there are some of the U23 squad who could step up this season to boost that first team squad but this, for the moment, is an unknown. I presume that the club is working hard to get a forward or two in. We certainly need them as things stand.

All in all, though - like most people - it looks a decent squad on paper. None of us knows how good any of the new boys are or how they will make the step up to this level. They might all take it to like naturals. Whatever happens over the next few weeks I'm looking forward to the new season. I always do.

 

Thanks for this POR.
It shows clearly how desperately we need strikers !

 

I'm sure the matter will be addressed, and soon. All this criticism (from the usual quarters) is pointless as far as I am concerned. All we have to do is sit tight, enjoy the ride and then see where we are a month from now.

 

I think this is where we will use the loan system, as strikers always cost the most.

 

Fine by me. It has served us well recently. It will do so again

 

I agree, & on the plus side, with us having made all our signings so far on permanent deals, it gives us plenty of opportunity to use the loan market throughout the transfer windows with the limit being 6 players, not that I am suggesting we sign 6 loan players, but we do have plenty of room for manoeuvre.
