Looks good !! Keogh - Turner - Cranie - Hussey , I like it !! And then we've got Clarke,Wood,McPake and Cameron ! Maybe we need another left back because we've only got Hussey .
And we've got 2 good goalkeepers.
I hope we can bring in 2 midfielders and 2 good strikers !!
It's still a shame that King isn't with us anymore !!

I think the young kid Christie can play at left back so can Clark, craine and wood! Though I think Hussey could be one of the players of the season next yr! To me he just got better and better once he got games
Last season! Shows the faith Thorn had with him and why he wanted sign him!

Bang on with Hussey, cracking prospect. But it would be nice to have a Clarke-type youngster coming through as backup and to push him, much in the way Clarke offers a genuine alternative to Keogh at RB. If it was just a few games Hussey was out for, I wouldn't have a problem with Wood or Cranie filling in. Any longer than that, and I guess we could maybe get a loan in. I really think teams had us figured out at one stage last season before Hussey got selected-so many teams attacked us in that area.

Totally agree - I think Hussey is excellent. He's quick and a good size for a fullback - with a very good left foot. I don't think Ray Ranson was too far off when he said "Hussey will be one of the top left-backs in the country".

SkyblueBelgium is spot on - that defence could be great to watch next season. :claping hands:

I think we're spoilt with the CB's we have they are all quality Championship players. I think Hussey does have talent and he has one hell of a cross on him, probably the best within the club!

For me it would be:

Murphy

Keogh Turner Cranie Hussey

If everyone was fit, but i think Defensively we have alot of depth with the likes of McPake and Wood who are also very good centre backs so I think its just the midfield and attack that needs a few players added to.

Yes Cooperskyblue - except i'd swap Turner and Cranie around as Turner's left footed and Cranie right footed. Really strong defence there. As for midfield I feel with Gunnar most likely gone we're missing a box to box midfielder:

________Clingan (Thomas)

Bell_______________Deegan?? (not convinved)

_______McSheffrey (Baker)

If Gunnar goes 2 midfielders will come in just like he's done with the gks! I am guessing he will for the forwards as well! Remember we have a few academy lads coming through as well!!
