Echo confirms we'll be going back for Brandon Williams in the summer. Assuming Bertie is off, he'd walk into our first team next season.
New name mentioned too - Rico Henry from Brentford. He is a left back whereas both Williams and KWP can play either side.

I guess it all very much depends on exits, both from the pov of getting some cash and whether we're offering the incomers a starting place or benchwarmer role.
Ings, Bertie and JV exits will impact in one direction, and Long, Obafemi, Hoot, Lemina, Ely' and a number of the other were-yoof-but-haven't-quite-made it for the other. If we can clear some out early doors, there may be some decent deals to be had this summer with clubs trying to make some savings. Of course that also means the dross will be even harder to shift.

Ralph is going to look at Ely apparently, so he will be in the squad at the start I think. Assuming JV stays i think it is:
2 x Full Backs 1 x Striker who is up and coming as Ings might roll into last year and we all know what that means.
+ Theo.

Should be concerned that some buggers may come in for JWP or Armstrong?

do you remember the transfers you got with Airfix kits Yes - And I expect you still do. What was yor favorite Airfix kit and did you bother painting the inside of the cockpits etc? I got into the hig tech Japanese stuff later and also the less high tech (but still Japanese) things like the 'glow-in-the dark' monsters by Aurora

Painted the outside as the smaller ones did not have the luxury of cockpits. What about the old quandry of whether to paint parts first or after assembled? Preferred the latter.

We haven't scored from a corner since decimilisation, his free kicks soar over the bar like rugby kicks, he can't even score from the penalty spot and his 'ball is rolling' skills are as Crystal Palace level as ever!

Maybe the display against WBA was a cunning plan to put off any suitors

Would be interesting to see our conversion rate. I reckon it's probably about in line with normal

Many factors though. To be average with our below average squad would mean the deliverer of the ball is above average;)
