i’d imagine his wages are probably a bigger issue

It was the player, insisted Doug scrapped the family zone apparently. Something about if they can’t afford kids they should eat them.

Can't pay? We'll take your kids away!

Reckon we’ll go for Brekalo and a CM loan in Jan then. Give us time to assess what we’ve got and get a loan who has proven themselves a bit hopefully. Then look for a CM next summer once we’ve had time to scout and maybe even sell another player.

Probably not if we were willing to pay more for the player in exchange for a wage contribution.

Tbf it’s disappointing no cm but kitching coming in is a good move. Looked very good for Barnsley in the playoff final.

Hopefully team is good enough to stay in touch with the top half of the table and then a get someone really decent lined up for Jan with the hamer money and we can push on.

If Kitching is coming, just a CM to come hopefully.

Who in midfield is going to score goals? It isn't as bad as some are making out, but we have lost Hamer. That is a pretty big hole in itself.

How many goals did Hamer score last year and how many were after he was basically playing as a 10?

Genuine question

So if he was back as an 8 this year for us we could expect to reasonably see his production reduced.

Also if that is the case then it would be the 10's we would be looking for more goals from, or to spread the goals about a higher scoring attacking line up of teh 10s and strikers.

I don't remember Hamer playing as a 10 regularly. We went with three centre midfielders towards the end of last season which gave him license to break out the lines more often but he wasn't playing as a 10.

He was a lot of the time the closest man to Vik, he was basically a 10. He was not in the position he normally plays was he.

I really hate saying this but even Grenners knows I am right.

Towards the end of the season he was either the ACM or as part of the 2 ACM's if we played the box

No he didn't, out of possession he was alongside Sheaf/Eccles/Kelly whichever two were playing at the time.

Godden was the closest man, or Allen when we played one up front in the play off away leg

Here are the average positions from the last four games of the season - can you point out who the no 10 is in each of them?

The one slight concern I have is that squad depth was a slight issue last year (although we still overcame it). Don't see that changing this year.
Click to expand...

We also had two superstars last season who never missed a game through injury (Gyökeres had a cold once; and Hamer got suspended).
Our midfield that consists of Sheaf, Eccles, Kelly, Palmer, O’ Hare and Allen looks weaker if only because all of them have poor records of keeping fit - and a couple are made of glass).

So Ayari looks to be a key component this season.
