Not sure about that.
He knows where the onion bag is.
Don't think we've seen best of him, due mainly to injuries and generally poor service. Could change a few minds next season

Yep I think he's become strangely underrated considering he's our top scorer. He has that obvious knack of being in the right place at the right time in the area and I think with better service he could score **** loads. For the vast majority of last season we simply didn't have a proper winger.

Figs has offers from Portugal, Greece and Scotland.

Doc has suitors, but that move will depend on who we bring in. Rosenior really likes Xavier Simons (as do I, I think he'll have a great season) and I've heard Marc Leonard from Brighton might be coming in, though that might be one for the U21s (just checked, he's 21 so maybe not). He's a ball winning midfielder who just helped Northampton get promoted to League One and a Scotland U21s player.

With Derby failing to get promoted and Brighton in Europe, I would expect to see a few of their players arrive. Derby have some very good young players, while Brighton will be looking to upgrade what they have and that might allow us to bring in a couple of their younger lads like we did with Longman.

He's instinctive. When he has time to think, he gets a rush of blood to the head.
 
What’s the story with Covill? Will he be fit for pre season? Can’t remember what position he was playing in, was it the advanced midfield position?

I think he was described as a winger when we brought him in, but he mostly made sub appearances at the end of games where we were hanging on so he wasn't really playing any strict position, just backs to the wall defending. The one game that he started (and got injured in) I think he was playing as an advanced midfielder as you say.

Bielik or Whiteman in our team would complete our midfield. I have a feeling Whiteman will go to Leeds though.

I do think people need to prepare for the possibility that that sort of player isn't one of our targets this summer. If the quoted 5/6 players is true, once you take out Darlow, a left back, a striker, probably two wingers and apparently a number 10 too, well that's your 6 players. Presumably if the likes of Woods or Figueiredo leave then they'll be replaced in addition to the 6, and maybe in Woods' case that replacement could be a big lad, but more importantly any holding midfielder needs to fit the style of play and be able to do that Seri thing of receiving the ball from the back line and getting us out.

Well if it isn’t addressed, we’ll be mid-table at best again and it will be a massive ****-up by Rosenior and the club. You might not think it’s important but it really, really is.

It doesn’t need to be a holding midfielder either, someone like Doc just a bit more technically sound. If it’s Marc Leonard who ST mentioned earlier I’d be very happy. He can easily make the jump and looks to be getting moulded into being a long term Caicedo replacement
