    Now Le Fee is confirmed and Samed is back fit, our midfield options are ridiculous.

    Neil
    Jobe
    Samed
    Le Fee
    Rigg

    Then Browne when fit and Alesic when up to speed.

    I don't envy RLB picking 3 from them

    I wouldn’t be surprised to see Rigg play wide in some cases

    Le Fee - Neil - Jobe
    Rigg - Isidor - Mundle*​

    *when fit

    I dont think we'll ever hear a single fan say we should start Onien in midfield ever again now when we're low in numbers lol.

    Could we play a diamond in midfield? With the full backs proving the width?

    .............Samed

    .....Neil..............Jobe

    ..............ELF

    Is Samed good enough to get in the squad?

    It’s an option but our wide men have a big part to play in RLBs system. Great options to have

    I think things will change quite quickly tbh ...

    ...sadly Browne won't make it here and one of our current three will be sold for big money imo.

    RLB often played a 3-4-2-1 at Lorient with 2 number 10s behind a striker. Could see us using a similar shape with Jobe and Neil (or Samed) sitting with Rigg and Le Fee drifting behind Isidor.

    I think we will keep our existing 3 till the summer and then I expect 1 to go and I look forward to seeing them progress.

    At some point in the future we will all watch Jobe, Rigg or Neil be part of a major trophy winning team and we should all be proud our Club gave them their chance and developed them and we got to watch it.

    If we get up this season we may get to enjoy them for another season at least

    Without starting another thread, can I add our centre back options are nearly as good.

    Mepham
    09
    Ballard
    Alese

    Then Seelt and Hejdle.

    Left wing just as strong with Mundle and Watson, Adil
    Left back ,Cirkin and Alese
    Striker, Isisdor, Mayenda, Connelly and after another

    Maybe right back and right wing need back ups but we have a hell of a squad when fit

    He can be a very good player for us imo ...

    ... he just needs to improve his first touch and positioning.

    That's a hell of a team and doesn't include Alese, Mundle, Roberts and Watson

    It’s a very good squad for this level. I just hope we have everyone fit (other than Huggins), going into the last few games and potential play-offs

    Tremendous blend of 6, 8s and 10s in there and many are interchangeable. The way to "deal with it" is absolutely not our problem, its the oppositions.

    Really talented midfield especially, rotate them and keep the opposition guessing. Won will do the rest.
