Any player needs a run in a team - settled tactics / players around him and the tactics must suit their game !

That is: If that player is to thrive....that one reason any player can't be branded if these basic requirements arn't met.

Not rocket science....just common sense really.

A new season - new challenges - the TEAM is more important than the individuals within it - we need to have a philosophy that the squad buys into and players can slot into when called upon....preferably a rotation system initially then the players who show the most - and the shirt has to be his until tactics dictate otherwise.

TS is right - at this level our squad should be very competitive ! If played correctly!
