Ekwah has a lot to make up for from last season and he certainly wouldn't be a guaranteed starter for me. You could say the same for Roberts. I'd be disappointed if we start the season with Jobe up front and O9 as 1st choice CB
As I said it’s a decent basis. Right forward could easily be Ba or Mundle and I’m sure we will sign a centre forward. I’d also like another centre half that’s better than O’Nien but if we intend to play similarly to under Mowbray that’s easier said than done, he gets a lot of criticism but is actually very good there.
 
We have to have someone who can play a lone role, that doesn’t mean just stand with your back to goal hold it up and pass it backwards. We are desperate for movement, pace and goal threat. Central defenders didn’t work hard enough last year.

Archer done that for Boro 2 seasons ago with Akpom sat behind him and he was one of the best players in the league. They both were tbf
 
Elsewhere unfortunately. Particularly unfortunate for Embo who was featuring heavily under Mowbray before he got injured but he hasn't kicked a ball in anger since then and Matete I just don't think is up to the level.

Both will have solid EFL careers though.

Matete I reckon we got promoted too early for, if we didn't go up that year he would have had another season in league 1 and would have been more likely to be able to step. Needs to go elsewhere and we will probably see him being stand out in league 1 or a lower championship player.
