We really should get promoted with this midfield: 10:40 - Jul 7 with 6193 viewsunstableblue

We’ve got Judge, Dozzell, Lankester, Huws, Downes, skuse, Bishop, Edwards, Nolan, El Miz, Rowe, Roberts

Best pre-season midfield squad for a while?

Do you know what, that midfield still looks like its missing something though.Someone like a Shaun Derry type, an aggresive leader.

I suppose Downes may become that, but he is still incredibly rash at times and picks up silly bookings, although in fairness you could put that down to his young age.

It’s amazing how horribly unbalanced our squad is

Who would be your starters from that lot Unstableblue? It's a tough one trying to narrow that lot down and playing round pegs in round holes.

What has happened to "Freshening the squad up" from last season. One striker and a couple of keeper. It's all a different tone now.

To me that midfield would be fine if not for the sieve of a backline we had last year.

The main issue is how many of those players will continue to struggle with injuries, or if fit, how many will recapture the form they once displayed before being injured. Get past those two big ifs and i would agree with the OP.

Lets hope they visited the same physio this summer as David McG had last season.

Agree. It's going to be a slog. Need a nasty bastard in the middle.

Agree also. For the amount of midfielders we have... a genuine enforcer type would not go amiss. No offence to Skuse but he’s not that and Downes could be, but still learning the game. It would be nice to bully a midfield rather than be bullied.

Agree, but how many will be fit long enough to make an impact and how much will the defence cost us in comparison?

We've needed that for years. Not a nice, lovely Skuse in midfield. Just some nasty, aggressive ilk of midfielder who would have been a nuisance for the opposition.

It's a decent group for League One, for me now we could just do with an experienced head at the back - think we all agree there, and another N'Daw will do too..

Prem loans haven't really started yet, when the big boys start signing then a couple of season loan jobs will strengthen us, nothing wrong with that, though we've all been crying out for these lads to be given their first team chance, so have faith, this is League One, they should be easily good enough now...they're not kids anymore.

Pre season

Not season, as we still have no idea who will be here come Aug 3rd. And much will depend on how well motivated the whole squad is.

A team, on the day, should be more than the sum of it's parts - whereas you seem to be suggesting that as we don't seem to have obvious liabilities in our midfield selection we should get promoted.

I think a fair few of our lot are in for a wake up call. We certainly won't struggle as we did last season, but it won't be the stroll in the park many seem to imagine.

Not sure if it's Shaun Derry we need but you could be right.

And definitely the midfield lacked something last season. Hopefully they can rise to the challenge and will be able to impose themselves on weaker players than in the Championship last year.

But no idea what the first-choice midfield will end up like - players or formation.
