Squad depth chart

I'm not happy with Kilbane being cover for CB, in fact in the squad at all if we want to be promotion contenders. There's no doubting he's a lovely bloke but he's passed it for me, also Pusic is apparantly not rated by Barmby so it's unlikely he'll be considered cover for anywhere.

I'd like a new striker and a new RB/CB should McShane leave (fingers crossed). The fact is we're still in for a new winger that we were supposedly originally interested in loaning (any news OLM?) which rules out the PNE kid for now. The HDM thinks we're after another goalkeeper as does PremierTiger (again any news?) but that might wait until the summer though it would be a risk (however there's always the emergency loan window)

If Cairney leaves on loan (rumoured) then we're in need of another CM too, Oli is a risk as it's always possible for a recent injury to flare up, plus there's a chance he may well end up being bollocks.

My wish list would be:

Doris De Vries (well, Guzan but that won't happen now Given's out)
Bradley Orr (loan QPR)
Adam Hammill (loan Wolves)
Craig Davies (Barnsley)

and Cairney to stay, i rate him

 

Heard the same about Pulsic. I think we must be in for a CB who can cover RB to allow McShane to leave (please!!!!!), if we get a RB who can also cover CB then I think Kilbane will go too, as we would have enough cover in Cooper and a new lad, along with Evans who can cover there.

I think the additional winger must mean the end of McClean. Fryatt is the main man, Simpson been welcomed back, King targeted (and highly likely) plus Garcia (not my choice though) who can play up top and Adebola (another can go for me) means he wont get a sniff as striker. Stewart, Brady, Garcia, King, Simpson and Koren can all play RWF, add to that another signing (Hammill would be great) means there is a hell of a lot of compitition there too.

 

Think you've misread my post just slightly there, i said we were originally interested in loaning this winger (or i think that's what you'd said before), which would surely mean it isn't that Mayor kid as we wouldn't loan from a L1 club.
As for the rest thanks for the update

 

Hammill not involved at today in the FA cup game. Can we read anything into it?

 

Very good call, it's quite a strong team otherwise. Kightly is back and in their team, as well.

 

Just that he's not even on the subs bench would appear to raise a few eyebrows

 

I agree. That would be an absolutely cracking coup if we got him, still don't really hold much hope though- most wolves fans seem to really rate him and can't understand why he doesn't play more.

 

Hopefully Mick doesn't rate him and we might get him

 

They've rested a couple of players in there starting line-up however they haven't put out a complete side of fringe and young players. There bench is pretty strong though, so I imagine Hammill has just been dropped from the squad for none other reason than not being deemed good enough to make the bench on this occasion.

 

He's barely been making the team though apart from the last game when they gave Hunt a rest. I'd expect him to at least be on the bench.

 

Can Garcia be an emergency right back?

 

In theory yes, but until someone else signs it would leave us short of cover in the squad. I remember last time we were talking about it I said I wanted 3 players and a lot of people were saying we had loads of cover as we had 3 players could play seversal positions. This was just before Pusic signed, and if Hobbs and Koren got injured we were left with a back four of Dawson, Dudgeon, Chester, Rosy, and in midfield we'd only have had Brady to play left and right side.
