Collins
Thomas Fadz Kitching
van Ewijk CM Sheaf Dasilva
O’Hare
Simms Wright
S: Wilson, Latibeaudiere, Bidwell, CM, Eccles, Palmer, Sakamoto, AM/ST, Godden
Reckon that’s the team when everyone’s available and in form. Got to say it looks a definite upgrade compared to last years average match day squad. Certainly lots of options from the bench.

I think we will pay the money for kitching , he looks such a talented lad and would improve our back 3
Football ennit, we all see different things!
I thought him and Fadz managed to get in each others way for one opportunity, they broke down the left early on and he looked like he was running in treacle trying to cover.
I don't think he was a disaster, just a step slower than the other two.
In time we will see him on the right Thomas in the middle and a new one on the left unless Fadz can play on forever.
No idea on Gus replacements yet, too early to get any whispers on that i feel
Kitching we've been after for a long while, Barnsley playing hardball hence the Robins at Derby scouting mission the other week to run the rule over Cashin. Also Max Bird, but thats one who would be for depth and not even sure it went anywhere.
Id be very confident the LCB will be Kitching or Cashin
ST as i say was a prem loan but with the Hamer money now in play that could be changed.
Only thing i do know is that its 2 CM being looked at now as the initial attempt at Getting Allen back in training in a few weeks looks to be miles away
Robins treats the 22/23 Barnsley squad list like an 11 year old boy treats the Pokémon roster so probably.
I'm guessing that's another new gender?
Sheff Utd favourites for Archer as they literally currently have zero strikers (Osula and Jebbison both youth prospects) and an injured mcburnie
He did say it was just a hunch
Like it, but I think Wilson will be number one and it will be his jersey to lose.
Kelly could be the cm on the bench too.
Anyone heard anything about Simon Moore - was good for us for a while and I can't imagine he wants to now be third choice for us?
I had Wilson at first, just think why would we buy Collins if we didn’t think he had a higher ceiling and/or was better for our play?
Proper cover decided Moore not good enough
Indont think so Pete. I think he was brought in to offer something in how Robins wants this team to play. But agree at the moment Wilson rightly has the shirt.
Almost like having a proper squad
Exactly. 6 years ago we could only dream of having both this quality of player and the choice of options within the squad. If we do get the remaining 3/4 players we could have a potentially settled squad for 2-4 years
Big transfer fees being paid , long contracts being signed and a real long term strategy for the club as a whole .
Its a good time to be a sky blue , for once
I did wonder if it was that Collins is younger and he could develop him?
Collins certainly has the attributes of many newer keepers who have a 'sweeper keeper' style, which MR might prefer.
We are probably going to be able to adjust our wingbacks to suit the opposition - maybe MR is thinking of doing the same with keepers (though I hope not)!
Just need to find a way to get season tickets and shirts out on time and we might have made it
Victor Hugo is being linked with the likes of Barcelona and Real Madrid so doubt that. Hercules is a possibility on the other hand.
Beating Ajax to Van Ewijk was just Mark and Doug warming up.
