Hearing that Robins is pushing hard for a winger. They’ve identified a target, £2.5m + add ons bid is on the table.
The player in question is a current international with 5 goals & 17 assists already this season and looks ready for a step up to Championship level.
Seems fairly obvious to me that if we don’t bring in a winger there’ll be games where fatigue and injuries cost us points.
The squad is built to play 5-3-2, but we’re currently finding success with 4-3-3 so it needs to be tweaked.
Binks in for Kitching
Lati in for MVE
Dasilva in for Bidwell
Wilson in for Collins
Palmer in for O'Hare
Binks/Lati in for Thomas
They are all reasonable backups. There really isn't a reasonable backup option for Saka.
So of our playoff final starting 11…
6 have left the club (Gyok, Hamer, BNC, McNally, Doyle & now Fadz)
3 are no longer starters (Wilson, Kelly, Allen)
Only 2 players remain (Sheaf, Bidwell).
Quite impressive.
