23 is the magic number, 22 if Hayes is swapped for the new <21 City Slicker. Now we know the intention for Baggot, Camera, and Piggy there is -space for 2 incomers (unless <21 permanent signing), or -space for 3 with a change at GK cover as looks likely. Limitations of squad: -Short in CDf, -Short on rotation quality in Attacking positions, -1 genuine Striker on our books. Unless they offer more, Edwards and Jackson must come under real pressure by Jan, if not already the case? A few months in the Championship might add a little value for trading purposes assuming they can’t cut it. If they do, that’s great. I’m expecting serious upgrades here, if we add a loan or permanent their game time probably reduces. This is our back up and finisher group 2 Vlad (gk), Hayes (gk) 1 Edmundson, 2 Donacien, Leigh 3 Evans, Ball, Luongo 4 Jackson, Edwards, Aluko, Harness Humphries (U21) First XI as it stands today, this looks good on paper 1 Walton (gk) 2 Woolfenden, Burgess 2 Clarke, Davis 2 Morsy, Taylor 3 Burns, Chaplin, Broadhead 1 Ladapo [Post edited 8 Jul 2023 6:18]
