It always amuses me how these accounts attract attention.

I might be going out on a limb here but I suspect that some of Boosh's posts are a little tongue in cheek.

How has Morgan Rogers been progressing? looked like he had a decent future ahead of him while he was at Lincoln.

Surprised at this as Rangers current right back James Tavenier is also their captain and club legend.

1 goal in 20 games for relegated Blackpool, following 1 in 17 last season.

Looking past that, seems he has 1 year left on his contract at Man City and, with the kind of seasons he’s had, there could be appetite for him to move on permanently in the summer.

With our transfer policy AV and MR care about character as much as ability, and also the team's style of play. I'm not saying we are one dimensional but we do not play with wingers. I love MR style of play but with players from a bygone era maybe Tommy Hutch wouldn't get in the team. Yorath would do well and so would Mortimer, but some wouldn't.

Robins has played various formations though. This one only came about really because of staffing issues. The L2 4222 had wide-ish midfielders, the L1 433 sort of as well which is why we got Kastaneer and Jobello in. I wouldn’t be shocked if he takes the rebuild in the summer to try something new.

If we went up I’d like to see us go to a 4231, we need new CBs/FBs anyway. And it allows us to play Sheaf, Vik, Hamer and O’Hare in their best roles. Then get a new defence and a couple of wide forwards in.

If we manage it this season it will be a whole different ball game imo, lots of better players who will be brought in in various positions and yes starting with a whole new backline but that’s needed whatever division we are in.
I think the four you mention plus one or two others would thrive with better players around them.

Don’t envy the new recruitment team’s task in needing to plan for both divisions, I can’t imagine many targets would be suitable for both.

There’s something funny about how our three promotion pushes have come about after injuries essentially forced us to abandon our wide play and just stack the team with CMs. Less so this season I guess, but definitely in L1 and L2.

Didn’t we switch to a wing back system to win L1?

Yes but it essentially meant an extra man in central midfield.

Maybe not a transfer shout as such , but John Bostock is playing an absolute blinder in the play off final, don’t think I’ve seen him give the ball away.

looks a cut above everyone else on the pitch

Shame about the pen! But agree, he's looked like time is still when he's on the ball

Yeah the penalty was an absolute travesty , that’s the reason he isn’t a transfer shout, he put himself above the team trying to make it about him. Bad attitude

Athletic RWB and tall ball playing CB - fits the profile of what we'll be looking at if we stay in the championship.

Both Austin and Johnson know that league well so it’s possible.

Isaiah Jones at Boro' from non league. It's only a rumour (always loads at this time of year) As others have said, nearly all depends which league we're in. I think the loan signings we utilise will be as important as anything else, assuming we don't go up.
