Certainly looks like back up this year.

Think it’s a question of who we pair with him. Plenty of competition for those 2 spots!
July 15, 20251 yr I still think our wide options look very lightweight. Be nice to have one with a bit of strength as I fear we may get bullied a lot especially away from home. It’s nice to have some pace in the side though. Looked a lot better when the subs happened, like the look of Taylor marauding forward - big, strong and a bit of pace too

July 15, 20251 yr Highlight of that was Simons. Strong, commanding presence and superb crossfield passes. Upgrade on sheehan and Morley. Need to keep him fit.
July 15, 20251 yr Based on that and the fact santos left us (first goalscorer bet each week) ...i think my fiver bet will be going on Simons to score from outside the box. Gonna be some steak suppers this season

I know a few thought we'd loan him out or put him in the stiffs, but I felt from SS comments that perhaps he'd be there or thereabouts. Anyway, the midfield two that finished the game looked very solid- essential if we're going with 2 proper wingers. We seem more physical and stronger all over. Brighton lad has lots of ability and pace, hope he can match it with end product. Another practice game under their belts.

July 15, 20251 yr More than happy with Conway/Taylor on the left....TSL big improvement on either Baxter or Southwood Simons looks pure class, it is him and another......Wingers add pace but can be frustrating Mcatee seems fitter as does Randall. Offered nothing up front, Schumacher as well as every man and his dog knows we are weak ip top. If we have to get shot of three or four to bring two forwards in Crack on.

I watched about 20 minutes of 2nd half and that stood out to me too. Looks like he owns the middle of the park and sprayed a few nice passes (nothing that Sheehan, Morley and Tomo don't do to be fair). But good first impressions. Wingers look tricky.
July 15, 20251 yr Against some of the big, physical teams, especially away, that midfield pairing would give me more confidence of competing toe to toe. OK, against teams that sit back and concede possession then it may be different, but even then having a plethora of fancy Dan types doesn't necessarily produce scintillating football neither. Good to have the options.

July 15, 20251 yr Good run out in the main against a physical Barrow team. Only areas of concern for me in the squad as it stands: -right back - we can't be having Tutu as the only back up to Cogley. He's far too weak, and tbh I'd like a stronger option than Cogley for some games (memories of Humphreys bullying him are too recent) -the number 10 role in this 4231 - I'm not convinced by either Randall or McAtee -striker - I'm impressed with Warren, but with Dalby out for a period it shows we need one more (the youth lads need a season on loan really) Otherwise some areas are very well stocked (centre backs, Left back, midfielders and wingers) and ready for next season, so promising at this stage

GT is are only midfielder who is likely to break the lines and forward to help the forwards. I did like Simons though looks a lot more physical that what we have had. Generally I am not a fan of only 2 in midfield so 4 2 3 1 worries me , just think in the division average teams can pack midfield and stop you playing. But overall there are clear signs that we are tackling some of the issues from previous years.
