Snowflake RoyalYorkshireRoyal99Snowflake Royal Hard to say what we're suited to with 8/9 ontracted players, two of whom we want rid of.
What an opportunity to look at what's available and start building towards something.
Think you need a real strong midfield anchor and some pace in CB to play 3 at the back... WBs will be caught forward a lot and CBs need to be able to cover a lot of ground, preferably from a highish line.
Also, I think your wingbacks need to want to cross and be good at it.
I don't think we've got the CBs, WBs or DMs we'd need for it.
I was referring to seasons previous rather than the one just gone and the up and coming one, but yeah we can pretty much build what we want.
I'd imagine one of Rino or Laurent will stay, Joao will stay and got 3 CB's in Dann, Holmes and McIntyre, so there's a solid enough base and spine to start from with some good players elsewhere like Meite and Ejaria who are solid enough at this level as as well as good young talents in Tetek and Southwood as well who will be pushing a starting place.
I've no doubt that 3/4 others will sign on as well, Yiadom for example. So there is a good, solid core to the team, we just need to supplement that with players that strengthen the team/squad AS WELL as cover the weaknesses of those already in the squad.
Zero pace across that three. And if we get more than half a season out of Dann or McIntyre we'll be doing well.
That's what I mean, we'd have to look to cover that weakness across the team elsewhere really, or bring in another CB. But many CB pairings are not blessed with great pace but still manage. I do think a genuinely ok season without all the turmoil we had this time around would be major boost, even for a squad that has a lot of the same faces from last season.
