Annual squad thread

[MagpieNate]

With the new signings today it seems an appropriate time to start my annual 1 and only thread. With a new manager in, we don’t really know what formation is likely and whether players are to be deployed in slightly unfamiliar positions so initially I’ll list them as what I understand them to be their natural positions.

Still need the big target man

Still need the big target man

Agreed, 1-0 down with 10 to go, get him on, play some Scud-Ball.

[MagpieNate]

Agreed. Another GK unless Brooks signs up and is the real deal. A CB and probably a RB if Brinds is playing in the centre. A bit of steel in the midfield and a different option up front for starters.

Central Midfielder would be my wish / priority next. Take your time Notts, more than happy to wait as long as we get a good'un in the building.

We’ve not solved the height problem at set pieces yet, especially with Wootton being replaced by two players under 6 foot and Baldwin being 6 foot.

I’d say we need a left wing back and let the inconsistent Taylor go; a Ryan Yates-esque midfielder; and a good-touch-for-a-big-man centre forward. Not sure we need a second keeper (assuming Brooks re-signs). The other unknown is if we can hold onto RR and CR.

[TSANHO]

Good lord, that midfield is scary, and not for the right reasons.

Certainly needs a serious upgrade , it's a priority make no bones about it.

That central midfield signing makes or breaks the season. Palmer is obviously class, and I think the other three have a role to play in different scenarios, but none are that nailed on partner for him that we need.

I think the midfield is that poor that if we intend to play three across the middle we need two more to play alongside Palmer.
