Yeah can see the thinking behind Brooker and Lewis but i dont think combacks are that good thing sometimes, when brooker i thought was too lazy but was a good player, how did he do at reading ? when on loan ? also would love to see Dublin sign for us as he is experienced, good leader, can play attack or defence.
Keepers - two quality ones - no changes - possibly Kuipers out on loan with a recall to keep him sharp etc
Defence - loads of youngsters coming through - possible Watson let go on a free transfer - no others released
Midfield - Lee and Pitcher to leave - at least one creative midfielder - Paul Reid? and a left sided wide player
Forwards - sign up big Chris and at least one more - maybe Bentley from Arsenal on a season long loan
Important thing is to bring in Div 1 EXPERIENCE - this is why Rodger and Blackwell made such a big difference when we signed them
Would not bring back any previous player who has left - this never works - thanks for the memories re Brooker and Zamora - but they both thought themselves worthy of more and left
McGhee is no mug as his tactics in getting us promoted have shown
This is his real chance to make it "his team" and I expect him to take it well
Charlie will move to a "club captain" type sitting on the bench every week role, Cullip being the "team captain"
Success in developing the squad will be having 5 experienced pro's on the bench with 2 or 3 young players in the team each week
Leeds away will be the best game of the season for me
