Traore has an injury record and won’t play the full season, and Twine can also play out wide too.

Tufan just doesn’t do enough I think we will ship him out.

Don't see Tufan leaving unless it's an offer we/he he can't turn down.

Also between injury, rotation and lack of form as inevitably happens over a season, they'll all get gametime.

I'm not sure how we're going to fit Tufan, Traore and Twine in the same team.

We wouldn’t, but it would mean that we could play one set one week and then rotate without sacrificing quality. This would also help to prevent injury and avoid the decimation we had last season.

It’s a good question. Unless I’ve missed something, there aren’t any publicly known takers for Woods. Longman’s obviously back and, unlike Woods, seemingly still in and around the match day squad. Other than that you would think it will be about getting some of the younger players a decent loan.

Interestingly, Woods is listed as number 15 here (and looking thrilled to be there): https://www.wearehullcity.co.uk/teams/ even though he was missed off the list and graphics here: https://www.wearehullcity.co.uk/news/2022/july/202223-squad-numbers-confirmed/

I’d doubt it means much but does it potentially leave the door open to a return if we can’t move him on or is it merely a technicality?

Can we read anything into him (Woods) not appearing on the bench (while Stuart Green was)? Surely that’s a sign that a transfer is pending? Or is it just making it clear to him he may as well go, as some else has jumped above you in the pecking order?

Lokilo is very raw, he's not ready to be in the starting 11 week in week out, he's a good addition to the squad, but I'm not sure he'll be starting if we get the players in we want and have a fully fit squad

I thought Lokilo was really useful yesterday. A proper left winger who could beat his man on the outside (long time since we've had that) and who gave us some real width, which I think along with Coyle advancing so far down the right gave us much better outlet options when passing from the back. He beat his man and put in a good cross for the penalty which really changed the feel of the game. I think on the evidence of that he'll definitely be in or around the first XI but guess we'll see who comes in.

He’s a ginger, and gingers are normally gobby little ****s. Wonder if he’s said something? Or just been a typical ginge, and has too much ‘banter’.
 
I was always under the assumption Twine’s main position was wide-left and could also play as a #10. He didn’t play much for Burnley last year but at MK Dons, I was sure he played left in a 4-3-3. In fact, I thought he would be KLP’s replacement if he signed last summer before we got Sinik.

Looking at this he has played most games as a 10 or second striker, but has enough games under his belt in other positions not to be considered a 1 trick pony.

He didn't beat his man anywhere near enough for me, he cut inside way to often when the space was there to take him on and put pressure on. He's absolutely a talented boy and will be a great squad player. But he needs to be braver, embrace and stand up to the physical side of things.... He'll get there im sure

You'd think he'd take more on the outside as his confidence grows. Promising start though.
