| Squad for tomorrow then.... 16:33 - Aug 2 with 3822 views | itfcjoe |
GK - Muric, Walton
DF - Johnson, Burgess, Edmundson, Greaves, Davis, Townsend, Woolfenden (Baggott, Agbaje[?])
MF - Morsy, Luongo, Taylor (F.Barbrook)
AT - Chaplin, Harness, Burns
ST - Hirst, Delap (Lapado)
Known injury doubts/absences
Tuanzebe, Clarke, Donacien, Humphreys, Broadhead, Hutchinson and Al-Hamadi
Can see why we didn't have 2 games this weekend - we effectively have 8 players to cover the 6 forward positions
EDIT - I know rumours re Hirst and Burns, and maybe Axel and Omari are better but realistically a couple may be ok and a couple may be not but it’s not going to change much re the current depth we have available unless all the injury doubts are ok [Post edited 2 Aug 2024 17:35]

Isn’t Hirst injured? |  |

We’ve only had a few weeks to prepare and get players in, shame we didn’t get automatic promotion and had it dragged out over the playoffs…. 👀 |  |

Burns is crocked, isn’t he? |  |

Rumours that Hirst is injured. |  | | |

Tuanzebe was described as a happy absence so surely he must be back... |  |

We’ve got lots of adversity to run towards! A new signing or two would help calm everyone down. | |

Don't think it's that so much, just that there is still time to get players in. As a squad player, I would see this as a great chance to show the manager that I can make the step up. It's going to be a long season if people keep with their unrealistic targets. Let's just all calm down and enjoy the ride. It's taken us far to long to get back up there not to enjoy. |  |

I’m pretty calm to be honest, just find it a little weird that we are miles off being close to ready.
And it seems like the season ended months ago.
Can’t imagine in his contract talks that KM was told friendlies would be cancelled etc. | |

Not you as well. Force majure. 7 out of action. What shall we do? Another 7 signings tomorrow half under the age of 21? |  | | |

Football isn't like that though. Things can move very quickly or fairly slowly. We have strengthened in goal, defence and attack, so very good already. Just the midfield and a CF to sort. We have 38 games for survival, so time for those coming in to make their mark. | |

I wouldn't say we've strengthened our attack as yet. We've added Delap which isn't an issue. But we've lost moore. Sarmiento. Jackson. So attacking wise at least in numbers we are weaker
Midfield is painfully light
Defence I do agree looks sorted which is a massive plus as they can crack on and get working together.
Muric.. I like the prospect. Stats look good. Need games to see if he's better than Hladky.
Two main positions need covering now. Midfield and that LW spot. Probably need 2 of each of those positions. |  |

Can't imagine forcing him to play friendlies despite numerous injuries would be mentioned in his contract talks either.
Clearly not ideal. Clearly hampered our preparations somewhat, but injuries happen and it's just unfortunate. | | | |

I would also add that we have lost Jackson from attack too. (EDIT: somehow missed that you had included him.) I am sure we have only done so in full expectation of getting better than all of those because each one could have been signed if we had wanted them. The balance is taking enough time to get the right players in and not ending up without anything because we couldn't get the deals over the line. However, that is always going to be a balancing act and is one we have landed on the right side of in each of our past 3-4 windows. [Post edited 2 Aug 2024 21:42]

A Bundesliga side who start their season in anger next weekend, and will be slightly ahead of us. As Phil points out they have lost their key striker. Interestingly in a draw away at Norwich! A benchmark.
Only pre-season still but beginning to count more, and OGC Nice we should expect a beat final team and a performance.
Given latest team news from Phil; perhaps this to start:
Muric
Johnson Wolfenden Greaves Davis
Morsy Lunongo*
Hutchison Chaplin* Harness*
Delap*
Will be interesting to see if the fridge starts over the Wolf, and if Hirst starts over Delap.
* I’m still expecting 4 signings to come in for the season to fill these positions [Post edited 3 Aug 2024 11:00]

I wonder if Delap will start wide right, with Hutchinson moving to the number ten position. | |

With Chaplin up front? I don’t think so.
With Burns hopefully only a niggle I do think Delap is vying with Hirst for the number 9 role | |
