O'Hare and Palmer will not play together. See Gerrard and Lampard

I'd have Allen in there, he stretches the game and makes its more fluid.

Wonder if Howley will keep progressing. He’s an AM isn’t he?

Wasn't that impressed to be honest + I thought he was more of a holding midfielder? Thought he looked a little lost in the games he played. Was more impressed with Burroughs at LWB, but then he kind of disappeared.

Howley's only 19 though, Eccles is 23 for context.

As someone else said Howley is 19, Burroughs 22 and Eccles 23.

I thought Howley looked really promising considering his age. In fact I could see all three of these being important players for us.

It's Howley's decision making that seemed very slow, which I assume is not being up to pace with / having experience of competitive football.

Not convinced by this view. Think if you went one up front there is potential.

Because Hamer and Sheaf are the defensive ones, but I am not that fussed, swap him with hamer

Most improved player this season the only thing we do need another keeper so does Robins go for one better or a younger prospect. Simon Moore is certainly not good enough.

If we keep Hamer and Palmer is fully fit, I'd go for a box of:

Hamer Sheaf

O'Hare Palmer

Some might say that's reckless - but technically that combination is very good and would increase our possession. I'm a huge fan of Palmer and hope to see the best of him next season.

If we want to go more defensive in certain games/situations, I'd happily go with:

Sheaf Kelly Hamer

O'Hare

Kelly was brilliant in the final 4-5 games. If Josh continues his development he could also play the Kelly role - I love the lad's confidence and his penalty at Wembley hasn't been mentioned enough - it was huge that he volunteered to step up to take that pen at this point of his career.

Do you think you could add a line at the bottom to show the average rating of players in/out?

You hold your breath every time the opposition win a corner. The clean sheets down to addition of McNally to Doyle & McFadz to make a very strong back 3.

I don't think you can argue that a good goalkeeper and back line will lead to clean sheets. He made some absolutely fantastic saves last season and I think you'd be hard pushed to find better at this level.

How many goalkeepers at this level are affordable and consistent at dealing with corners?

Yeah but Wilson makes you hold your breath during corners so we need to replace him ASAP.

Wilson deserves to start as No 1 next season without a doubt. You can see his and the defence's confidence in him improve dramatically as the season progressed. He's also cut out the hesitating when the ball has been played back to him, and the mad rushes off his line.
Despite that, I am still not 100% convinced. Hope Moore moves on, and we bring in a young(ish) keeper with first team experience from perhaps League 1-2 as a No 2 to keep him on his toes.

Most improved player in the club, maybe the division, but we do need to sign another keeper, up to the manager if he brings in better, you always need better.
