Im not having that. Eccles, Torp and Allen all very good. Yes, if sheaf gets injured I’d be concerned but I wouldn’t say we’re lacking

Not lacking but we need to push if we want to even think about challenging top 2 and it feels like the budget might be there for it. Another top quality CM puts us in a great place. Allen isn’t that good.

Do you think we need to sign a central midfielder and a Godden replacement then? Weird, you haven’t mentioned it 100 times.

our first team is more than good enough to go up. Our problem is, always has been, and continues to be strength in depth when we pick up a few injuries

we NEED to address that to show that we’ve genuinely learned our lessons..

You're talking shit now

Our record signing and top scorer of last season will not be left on the bench as a No2 striker when fit

He's also shown he's shite playing the lone striker role. It's clear to everyone.

We will get a Godden replacement in 10000%

So we're not going to drop Wright all season long cause he cost a lot of money?

Such a good display albeit a friendly. Bring on the prem

Jds Palmer and torp all played well when came on. Strength in depth is getting there

Palmer especially is just class. No one can dispute that. Just needs to find consistency this year hopefully

I know it's just a friendly but that was very impressive. Thought Allen was excellent. So composed. Everyone contributed. Palmer and Torp looked sharp coming on. Nice to see the young lads playing with confidence.
As for Dovin, not really tested but his distribution was exquisite.

Funny you should mention it because for me, I feel if we get a centre kid of quality in and a Godden replacement I think we'll be up there easily you?

Im not say we don’t need some depth but Saddle was suggesting none of those lads had the quality to start alongside Rudoni and sheaf. I disagree.

Allen was great. He's someone I had in godden tier of time to move on but if he plays like today I'll happily take that back

For a few games yes

Over a 46 game season no. Sheaf will inevitably as he has now get his niggly injuries that write him off for 10-12 games for a start

Wright looked crap on the right last season. Can’t see him playing there. Maybe EMC will, but seems odd as he has consistently played on the left for P’boro and in preseason.

It’s sakamoto’s spot to lose imo

Great work out, very impressive performances all round, apart from Dovin who had fuck all to do all night.

Rudoni and EMC look very good additions, Allen looked really good and lasted well, Thomas and Binks are a solid looking combination, MVE and Sakamoto are top quality and it's good to see Torp back and get 30 minutes under his belt and he took his goal very well. Palmer looked fit and sharp and played a beautiful ball for Torp's goal.

All in all we looked by far the better team.
Exciting times ahead!

Competition for places drives a standard and improves the individual.

Rudoni. He is a level above, i thought at HT they would sit on him, but they couldn't get near. If he gets to use the ball a little better he is a top signing.

If he had a consistent final ball there would be another zero on his transfer fee and he would be playing champions league football

Some on here didn't want to sign Binks, what a bargain he's going to be btw.
Rudoni and EMC absolute class, great business.

You're having a laugh aren't you? Sakamoto is class, and his and Milans partnership is ridiculously good.

What we do seem to have is a combination of attacking players that should create a lot of chances. Even if a couple are missing, we still possess sufficient to remain a potent threat.

Think that's harsh on Eccles and Torp in particular. Undoubtedly Sheaf is a step up, but then he's a step up from most midfielders in the division.

Torp will be one of the best midfielders in the league if he stays fit.
