This (I think) is the current state of the squad (assuming LB goes back to his preferred 442).

GK - Etheridge, Prieto, Trueman, Jeacock

RB - Colin
CB - Roberts
CB - Dean, Friend
LB - Pedersen, Seddon

RM - Sanchez
CM - Sunjic, Gardner, Clayton
CM - Woods, McGree
LM - Graham, Bela

ST - Hogan, Leko, Aneke
ST - Juke, Cosgrove

Add Stirk and Boyd-Munce and we are heavy on numbers in CM.

Clearly need at least 1 more defender but probably 2 more.

Sell - Prieto, Clayton

Loan - Leko/Cosgrove, Stirk/Boyd-Munce

Buy - RB, CB and Winger


This obviously all depends on the formation LB wants to go with. If he wants to go with a diamond then we will need all those central midfielders.

Heavy in CM? Sunjic Gardner Woods. McGree gone in Jan. Clayton won’t be near the squad. So we have 3 of which 2 will play at least every week. Injuries, suspensions. The kids you mention aren’t ready to play 20 games a season yet. You also say we are heavy but sending some of them on loan!

As for your sell suggestions. I’d be amazed if the club aren’t on the phone to you asking who wants to buy those two. You’d be on a good wedge for sorting that and it appears to be as easy as just typing it.

Has it crossed your mind Bowyer might be tempted to shuffle the pack and possibly sell Sunjic or Pedersen to generate funds?

Yet another PlayStation manager post ????‍♂️

Leave it to Bowyer ffs

I missed Lakin as well so make that 8 central midfielders. Compared to other positions (particularly in defence) we clearly have more numbers there than any other position. I think we will sell/loan a few of them but until that happens then we are heavy on numbers there.

I gave my opinion on who that would be but, as you said, it is a lot harder for that to actually happen than for me to just type it. I did think though that this was a forum where we gave our opinions so thats what I did. If we are only waiting to see what Bowyer does then I'll just follow the clubs website.

Except there’s not a lot of your opinion in there really

Just copying sound bites from the club e.g Loan Cosgrove. Is that really what you’d do? You wouldn’t cash in for £1m or so if that was possible.

Also sell Clayton and Prieto. Yep just identify 2 players you have seen not go on pre season and write sell.


I’d trust bowyer to sell virtually any player in that squad for the right money. Not many of them are irreplaceable. And I’d trust him to build a better side. Too many have been there too comfy for too long. I’d happily see some go and have bowyer bring in some hungry players. However shifting them on is a different matter.

That’s an opinion rather than stating some of what bowyer has seemingly already intent on doing as your opinion.
