Stockport gave us problems, like other teams did, when they put balls down our left, because there's fuck all defensive about it

it was tough enough for him in l1, be a nightmare in the championship if we have him there 

needs to up his defensive game like Tutu did

And didn’t he just. Can’t be understated just how much he improved and became not just a competent right back, but a really fucking good one.

If there was a player of the last 3rd of the season then Tutu would be top of the pile for me, closely followed by Forino and Kenny.

He’s surely done enough to earn another contract? I’m not sure how I’d feel about him being first choice right back going into a Championship season, but his rate of improvement this season and his pace mean I reckon there’s scope for him still being very useful - plus he can cover other positions.

Fair play to him, seems like a good lad too.

Tutu has been a really good signing for us and as mentioned, he’s made that RB spot his own. Class throughout the playoffs

After yesterday, I'd always be wary of being too emotional when it comes to player decisions and who we keep. The Championship is a big step up and it'll be beyond many of our current players level.

However, Jordi has been fantastic for months now. Deserves a new contract for me. I'd be delighted if we kept the tandem of him and ACD.

The doubt re Tutu was always his fitness record but he seems now to have a solid run injury free. Still only 27... I would say a two year deal would be appropriate.

Right. This is a note, not a suggestion, but may advise the standard we're entering.

Dapo signed for Blackburn in the January window. He's presumably a better version than the one we sold.

In the last 9 games he was on the bench and was only brought on twice (61st & 76th minutes). He scored no goals & made no assists in the few games he appeared.

I know the Devil's in the detail and any number of other issues could be involved but I'd have given Zulu's right arm to have him back here.

Fergal Sharkey is key to all this but there are four types of signing and it will be interesting to see what balance is struck.

Singer, rivers campaigner and now football recruitment. Some cv 🙂
