Certainly need a new left back dikensons old and slow and didn't look good enough at all
So, possibly the squad place breakdown looks something like this:-
GK---Adam Collin
GK---Joe Searson-Smithard
RB---Matt Tootle
RB---Jordan Richards
LB---Carl Dickinson
LB--- ?
CD---Richard Duffy
CD---Haydn Hollis
CD---?
CD---?
CD---Mike Edwards
MF---Elliott Hewitt
MF---Rob Milsom
MF---Michael O'Connor (Injured)
MF---Curtis Thompson
MF---Kevin Nolan
MF---?
MF---Alan Smith
W-----Terry Hawkridge
W-----Lewis Alessandra
W/ST-Jonathan Forte
W/ST-?
ST---Shola Ameobi
ST---Jon Stead
ST---?
Obviously there are variations, in that Elliott Hewitt can also play right-back and centre-back (allegedly), Curtis Thompson can play wide (but is undoubtedly best in centre-mid) and Jordan Richards looks like the type who could play a number of positions, especially when he gains more experience.
One concern I have is that Lewis Alessandra may have been brought in with the intention of playing him on the wing, yet fans at other clubs have commented he disappears in that position and plays best as an attacking central midfielder.
I've left the two newest youngsters out for now, on the assumption they will probably be loaned out to the non-league for starters.

Shouldn't Osborne and Howes appear on the list somewhere?
I get the two Jordan/Jordon Richards' mixed up, the one that we've seen a reasonable amount of is the one we've given a trial right? Has the other one already signed a contract?
Pedro's son is the one I'm referring to above, who is Jordan I believe. I think/hope he's the one under proper contract, because he showed real signs of promise when he came into the team last season.
Whereas, I assume Jordon is the one invited back for trial. I don't know much about him, other than that it will be very confusing for Charlie Slater and Mark Stallard if we sign and play both!
Not offered a contract but invited to train with Notts - see https://www.nottscountyfc.co.uk/news...ned-list-2017/

Speaking as a former winger, when wingers become invisible, it's usually because nobody is getting the ball out wide, wingers are just as prone as strikers to poor service. What they do with that service is another matter but you have to have passers in the team to supply wingers if you intend to play with wide men or it's just not worth having them on the field.
It's JordOn Not JordAn as explained in this thread. Jordan (Pedro's lad) has gone to pastures new.
