Same applies to the striker (Agyei and Kelman are first choices).

And I'm happy with any 2 of the current 3 full backs starting.

Last seasons best midfield was Brown - El Miz - Galbraith (not that we saw it much). That was good enough to compete with the best in this division.

The current best midfield is Brown - Warrington - Galbraith. Brown continues to develop and is a better player than he was 12 months ago. Galbraith looks to be more settled and ready to show everyone his undoubted quality. Warrington looks like he will be a more than adequate replacement for El Miz in no time.

Yes, we need more depth. No, we don't need a first choice midfielder.
Hope you are correct about Warrington but we need to see him play at least 6 games in Division One this coming season before we rush to judgements as to how good he is, let us hope for the best with this young player.

Some are quick to say how bad a player is before they see them play

1)Q was Kelman our number one striker in January window?
A no he wasn’t.
Me)So why bring him in now?
2)Q does the new guy from Wigan play left or right back?
A right back. We will give Sweeney a chance.
Me) So why haven’t we got a decent left back in and good luck with Sweeney he isn’t good enough imo.

3) Q was GM going to be sold?
A yes but they didn’t offer enough on the loan.
4)Q are we bringing in another striker?
A no not really more interested in a number 8
Me) what’s wrong with the lad at Colchester, got a feeling GM put a stop to that?
5) Q)what other players would you like?
A would like to bring in a left footed right winger to play on the right
Me) here’s an idea bring in a left winger and play him on the right even better find a professional footballer that can actually use both feet🤷‍♀️
Give it a listen but to me some of his answers didn’t make much sense 🤷‍♀️
On question number 2, Hunt is a better LB than Sweeney so why did we let Hunt go if we wasn't going to replace him ?

He’s not better.
He’s on a downward trajectory and Sweeney is on an upward trajectory.
Sweeney is cheaper.

Clare has replaced Hunt. I doubt he was cheaper.

That's what I originally thought but Clare is going to play RB. It's looking like we will have Sweeney at LB who struggled to get into the squad last season .

An in form TJ is very difficult to leave out. I still think we will see him in the side either as a left back or further forward on the right. It’s good that RW has a selection problem.

James will play at LB.

(Although if Sweeney plays, I'm happy with that).

I'm wondering if RW goes with a back 3 2 wing backs 4 in the diamond & 1 up top. Unlikely but a possiblilty
