If none of the big 3 are sold and we add a LCB and a LWB, I think the squad will be looking good. Hopefully the better youth players can fill the gaps and then save some money for January to strengthen where needed.

The lads from Man city, he was probably happy to come here but when Kompany ( who you'd expect to be one of his idols growing up) showed interest he jumped at the chance. Cant blame him really, I don't see it as a negative on our club.

I remember MR saying the renovations to the training pitches was long overdue and would come out of our budget. With all things considered treading water is a fair assessment of the coming season. That's better than spending what we don't have and being derby in a couple years time (or us...

The main thing I've taken from this thread is, me using NewsNow as my main source of cov news is not up to date. In my defense I'm getting sod all from 'Ask Jeeves' and the fax seems to be buggered..

Have to say in the games I saw him play he seemed to do quite well. Nothing amazing, but holding his own. It's only my opinion but I think he'll be a top player.

If the midfield stayed as it is now, I'd be happy with Howley and Eccles playing more of a part next season.

I have to reluctantly agree. Im hoping it won't happen, but in all likelihood it will. If Gyro left, that would be the worst as finding another gem is always a tough ask. And as I've said before, strikers are always a premium. With Eccles and Howley coming through I'd still want a replacement...

Looking at the squad if we signed a LWB and a LCB, I'd be happy. If Waggy and Walker both go I'd probably hope for another attacker. If one went I'd be happy with Tavares taking their place with Harrison Nee as the back up, like Tavares was last season. We have a lot of young talented...

And Brighton.

You make a fair point, but I still think we'd get max 10 for Gyro.

That Fábio Carvalho just went from Fulham to Liverpool for under 8 million, and Harvey Elliott went for around 2.5 including fees. I'd love us to get 20+ for our top players but I think we are dreaming.

I love the fact that we can sit here and discuss which prospect has the best chance of making it into the first team. When some clubs in our division don't even have an academy. Our youth team and academy is something to be proud of.

With Shipley going it would be nice to have another proper cov lad in the team. And there's something about him that gives me high hopes, maybe the size of him at that age 🤣🤣

Out of those three though, you'd expect howley to be in and around the first team next year for sure. Some of his passing today was sublime, and strong on the ball.

Neither have I, but I remember reading he was light weight but skillful. We managed to sort Tavares out in that respect so hopefully he will follow suit.

That's true, even more so now we are looking upwards in the championship, and, in general I would have to agree with you, it's unlikely all 3 will be first team quality, but I've had a couple beers so they are all going to be cov legends 🤣🤣

They're second goal rattled us, but i still think we showed good composer! (Excluding extra time which was nerve wracking!)

Howley, Dinanga and Bapaga stood out for me. Maybe we don't need as many signings next year as we thought.

Never a free kick, the lad fell over!

Goals a goal, proper scrappy mind!
