The Squad

[poppyfield]

The squad so far looks very strong, 22 players MG has said he wants another striker to replace Armstrong. We are going to need a bigger squad than last season, (we ran with 18 last time and towards the end of the season we kept just enough fit to carry it through) so just wondering how it will pan out as anybody leaving etc. or out on loan.
There is speculation around Alan White, I hope he will stay in some capacity, coaching/fitness maybe, keep him on the books as a player just in case.

I'm guessing Paul Weldon has gone so rightly not included. Not sure why nobody announced it. Same with Gaskell. Is he staying or going?

To be honest I missed Paul Weldon, I shouldn't have done as he had a fantastic game at Whitby.

Defence looks sound, although I dont expect Whitey to stay in the reckoning and Galbraith & Marrs may play more time in midfield. If the latter is so, then midfield looks to be well manned.

With Gaskell's signing in doubt, potential injuries and potential interest from other clubs then we seem to need another experienced striker.

Youth team strikers may need some loaning out, before inclusion in the squad, to pick up vital experience playing with and against seniors.

Galbraith & Marrs may play more time in midfield.

I find this unlikely where in midfield does Marrs play? I have only ever seen and heard him playing right back?

We have 2x RM and 2x LM (Mitchell, Nightingale, Thompson & Wearmouth) at what point are Marrs and Galbraith going to go into midfield?

[JE93]

I think it's a fair point for Galbraith. Gives us a more defensive option at LM should we need it. Athletic enough to get up and down the pitch, good and strong when defending and also has a quality delivery. Don't see Mars playing in midfield though.

[lo36789]

If you looked at every players favoured position we have exactly 2 men for each position.

GK - Jameson/Bell
RB - Marrs/Lovegreen
RCB - Brown/Hunter
LCB - Burgess/White
LB - Watson/Galbratih
RM - Mitchell/Wearmouth
RCM - Turnbull/Nowakowski
LCM - Portas/Scott
LM - Thompson/Nightingale
ST - Cartman/Purewal
ST - Hardy/Gaskell

Anyone comes in now you can probably bet one of the players in the same role goes.
