🗓️Pre-Season Friendlies 2024/25

Still think we're a CB, CM AND ST short right now.

I'd say the striker is the least pressing need, despite losing Macauley. I'd like to see how the likes of Scott, Jatta and McGoldrick get on before we rush out and sign another forward. It could be that they actually thrive on not having to play second fiddle to Langstaff in the pecking order. All three are good players in my opinion. Sometimes one star has to move out of the way for others to shine. Of course, if the remaining forwards don't pull up trees we've got money in the bank to address the problem, so there's certainly no need to panic.

Similar to what you've said, we're probably one centre half short now, given recent departures, and I think we need a really big, robust defensive midfielder - similar to Bajrami but ideally even stronger. As much as we want to play good football, in this league you need the option of an enforcer, albeit one who can still pass a ball.

I would disagree, I think we are very light up front with quite a few questions to be answered. It sounds sensible seeing how what we’ve got get on, but we only have very limited time because after we’ve played 3 league games the transfer window closes. I don’t think 3 games is much of a trial, and if it’s not working or we get a long term injury we have severely limited options.
