How did he get on at Macclesfield?

Played 27 games. Think he was either injured or out of favour more after Campbell arrived but was 1 of the only existing loans he kept on in january

I dare say, possibly better than Bayliss will ever be.

Let’s not got carried away, Burroughs has yet to play a game in the first team.

The bits of U23 games I caught last year, he looked a class above the rest. How that translates to the first team, we will see!

I hope he really is as good as the people who've seen him describe! I'm under the impression he played further up the field in that 10 role as well as on the wings.

I still can’t believe Ogogo didn’t work out. Given more minutes I wonder if he’d have done ok but he seemed to make loads of mistakes whenever he was playing. First game of the season (Scunthorpe?) I thought he looked good.

A great lad apparently but couldn't pass the salt in training or whenever he got a chance in a game

Open a thread on their forum about him and found a ‘tin pot’ comment within 5 seconds. Ha ha

Allen absolutely ran the game against us at home last season. Always at the ref, very busy in your face type player, I'm quite happy with him signing.

Indeed, very experienced 24 year old a bit like Willis really in as much as he's played a lot of games at this level

Not overly familiar with the lad but the stats and comments suggest he's an improvement on Shipley (who I had as starting next to Kelly) so him and Kelly together should be a solid foundation in the middle. i'm genuinely excited at this point, especially with a better playing surface, and while I want the season to start there's a part of me dreading it in case it all goes horribly wrong and the disappointment will be huge.

I also thing we've got to be looking at losing some of the squad soon, especially younger ones on loans. We've got a lot of midfielders now - Kelly, Allen, Bayliss, Shipley, Westbrooke, Maycock, Eccles, Bosma, Bartlett and arguably N'Gandu and Burroughs although they're more attacking.

Surprised Burton priced at 8/1

Bosma has left and a few on your list are young and 12 months away really Shipley as an example just about to start his second full season is seen as a bit of an old head similarly Bayliss.

Bosma hasn't left (he's in at least one of the pics for pre-season training GALLERY: Pre-Season Training - Day Three sixth picture, left hand side). Robins has said he's looking to move him on and would undoubtedly release him if he got somewhere else, but at the moment he's still here.

I agree many of them are quite young and not likely to be first team but there's still too many to get them games even in the U23's assuming we don't use it to also keep the likes of Westbrooke and Shipley fit). They still need games and that's why a few of them need to be loaned out.

From my list I'd say:

Kelly, Allen, Bayliss, Shipley and Westbrooke would be first team
Maycock, Eccles, Bartlett, Bosma, N'Gandu and Burroughs are U23.

That's quite a few for what will be two/three starting positions, and assuming we don't bring in Bright to take Bayliss' lilely ACM slot

I think the squad numbers tell you that. Bayliss needs to work hard if he wants to win the shirt.

Wouldn’t be overly surprised to see Bayliss leave if Bright or a new 10 is brought in.
