And what happens when Cantwell is unavailable if Tyjon is NOT ready? Then we are just left with a big hole in our team. We dont know if he is ready full stop, but especially physically. This is a young lad who has had injury problems at under 21 level, can he sustain consecutive games at senior level? Also, has he got one year left on his deal? Is he actually likely to be our player beyond next summer? Especially with agent Nixon on the case. Wharton was an exceptional talent, but even then, he was in and out at first. We cant expect everyone to be like Wharton, most are not.

Would like to see if danns gets through pre season tour with Liverpool injuries with the back can often be re-occurring but def worth looking at if he comes through it ok

Well you are going to know by playing him. We know we have a talent here so bring in through and develop his game. Like we did with Wharton Didn't stop Sunderland bringing through Rigg cos of his age, so why should it Tyjon

Only one way of finding out….Sunderland did it it’s not a given of course I’m sure there’s more examples of it failing than succeeding but last year Sunderland had rigg Bellingham Watson all academy players with little to no senior experience prior to their senior starts for Sunderland until players of that ilk are given an opportunity we won’t know - it doesn’t work for all players I’m merely basing this on the attraction from bigger clubs on tyjon

Think 4 more does it personally; RW (Perm) - Someone quick and tricky. A left-footer who can cut in would be my preference. CAM (Perm) - Moussa Baradji still in the balance, suppose there will always be concerns over this injury. Personally hope we still pursue him though, looks good. CB (Loan) - A young PL loan would work here, maybe that Fredricson from United? ST (Loan) - Someone who can play anywhere across the front line is ideal, would love Jayden Danns. Anything else after that is a bonus for me. Of course there's a huge caveat in relation to keeping our current key players, anyone sold will need to be adequately replaced on top of the above.

Kargbo played most of his games at his former club as a "10" so they could probably use him there if needed.

I was out in the areas, around 7.00pm last night and just walking at a brisk pace had me sweating. I would imagine there will be plenty of drinks breaks and definitely plenty of changes.

That's either the poor quality of the badge or it wasn't cooked enough when they put it on. Not the actual shirt quality to blame here.

But the issue is, we cant possibly know if he is good enough yet at this level but moreso, is his body capable of playing regular, consecutive games in senior football as it likely will have to.

With regards to Tyjon if we are keeping him we need to give him a chance and see what he is like i get the caution regarding his age but if your good enough your age shouldn’t really matter

Agreed. Also with Tyjon, if Cantwell misses a few games, even if they think Tyjon is ready ability wise, we have no idea if his body could sustain playing consecutive games at this level. I think I am right in saying hes had injury problems at under 21 level.

Personally I think there is a need for a No10 as any injury to Cantwell will leave us short. Unless Tyjon is viewed as good enough to step up on a regular basis. Not seen him play but seems a big ask of a 17yo. I suppose Ohashi could play there but to me he’s better as a striker. We probably also need another striker and a RM/RW. Just shows how valuable Dolan was cos he could fill every position in the front 4.

Well apparantely he got injured in the first training session with balls, and that ruled him out for four weeks, which takes us to tomorrow. So maybe they could give him 10 or so off the bench in the second game?

It just shows what disrespectful pieces of shit they are.

That is still a weak looking second team, thats for sure. I wonder if Tavares will be able to play in either.

Yep, a mixture of Elliott Jackson's journalism and Ismael's English make it ambigious. We need more than 2 or 3. If it is 2 or 3 then we shouldnt sign another central midfielder.

A centre back given Carter's injury A right side attacking player A forward with pace. Then any replacements for players sold

‘I think it's clear that we have something to do on our front line. Other positions, I think that we need two or three more additions which would be perfect’ It was that para that wasn’t clear. 👆

Itl be minimum 3 Val is speaking in riddles there himself could be the language barrier

Elliott Jackson, take a bow, 3 people read the same article and come to 3 seperate conclusions Clear as mud 😉 Communication truly is a dying art

Didn’t we once play in Spain in the 70’s, in an end of season thank you trip for the players? If memory serves me right, we played a team of waiters, so the club could legally claim tax relief on the cost

It just shows what short sighted know nothings they are.

Even at 7-00 pm it’ll be hot. The village we spend time in has a summer inter bars football tournament and they don’t kick off until 9-00 pm.

I read it as 2 or 3 in total. Imagine one will be another CB who can also cover at RB like that Miller from Hibs. A right winger and a centre forward would be my other two, but Baradji is still there lingering in the back ground. Obviously we will need more when Brittain or Trav or even both leave. I just don't see at least one of them being here by the time the window closes. But lets say nobody else leaves, and we don't include Garrett/Leonard as they haven't featured yet, then I make it that there is currently 3 squad places left of the 25 that need to be registered. That's presuming we use Michelski as third choice keeper.
