Exactly this regarding Kelly. I watched him very closely yesterday, he's an incredibly 'boring' player to watch from a neutral point of view but every team needs someone like him. Sort of player you only really notice we miss when he's not on the pitch, which again speaks to the experienced head...

This. Don't have to formally 'register' U21s as part of the 25 man squad, you get them for free effectively.

Yep best of luck. Had a really unfortunate time with injuries over the last couple of years and a bad loan with Tranmere thrown into the mix as well. Scored a few with Wrexham late last season so hopefully he has started to regain some confidence with more regular minutes and less U23s football...

Turnbull was absolute turd for us and I’m amazed he still has a professional career to be quite honest

What about Ngandu, thought there were high hopes for him or has his development stalled a little?

The thing that will probably go against him at Championship level is his pace. Keeps possession very well and is a smart player but he’s awfully slow on the turn and to recover, which will be exploited more at the higher level. Still think he’ll have a part to play though

If anyone's interested to see how players are keeping their fitness up, they are using Strava to log all their runs and cycle rides etc. Can search the players on the app Bakayoko did 5.5km in under 20 mins the other day which is rapid, fair play

Out of the current crop, Liam Kelly and Dom Hyam are both pretty slow

The year we had no one (13/14 season maybe?)

Dom Hyam has a decent left foot

Vicente Engonga

I don't think Davies was terrible on the ball, but take your point that Rose is an upgrade. I'm a little surprised there hasn't been much reported interest in Hyam, could be his lack of pace that goes against him.

Agreed. Back 3 of Willis, Rose and Hyam would be too samey, McFadzean adds that dominance we’ve been missing for a few years. He’s still a very good L1 defender. Might just sneak in ahead of Rose for me but not a lot in it really

Excellent defender and very strong both on the ground and in the air, considering his height. Particularly good in 1v1s, don't see many beating him with trickery or pace. One of his main attributes is his energy levels, which makes him so effective in both defence and attack as RWB

I agree, as much as I like him I prefer the back 3 we have now. His distribution skills were never his strength so might have found it tougher in this current system

Suspect it’s just a case of Beezy biding his time. Come June 30th he’s our only left back, and he’s contracted for another 2 years. He’s still only 22 don’t forget, he may have another chance come pre season to cement a place in the side, regardless of division.
