Nice mate, great minds! I produced something similar but put them all in and shoe horned it all into a 3-4-3 formation for now: View AttachmentStarting to wonder about squad cap size as we are a bit over loaded in the CF and CM areas when including our under 21's Nice bit of statting there GI. I can see the left CF positioning being changed/added to with Barrett being transferred, we know Nicholson will miss the first 6 weeks of the season and Tomlinson will probably go out on loan. Maybe Hanlan will go there (more his natural position IMO) and then adding more of a target man. Where did you hear that Nicholson will miss the first six weeks of the season? I thought he was back in training but perhaps a bit behind some of the others - didn’t realise he was six weeks behind☹️

"You never know, but we’re not planning for that. We think it will be three to five weeks into the season but, they key is we have him fit for the majority of the games." www.bristolpost.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/sam-nicholson-steps-up-rehab-5607011.amp?__twitter_impression=true

Heard a whisper that Westbrooke could be on the way out. League One club.
Also wouldn't be surprised to see Nicholson get a move late on in the window.

Wouldn't be distraut to see back of Westbrooke. There's a good player there but he was disappointing after coming with the mega hype. I hope he thrives in a team whereby his fellow midfielders are prepared to do all the donkey work for him.
Different story with Nicholson. Again a good player but prepared to put in a shift and rarely disappoints. He would be a real handful in L2 but wouldn't be surprised if he wanted to leave.
I know which of those two guys I'd want in my team.

Well he must know by now who he doesn't fancy, I would guess at Hargreaves, Liddle, Harries and Barrett, move Westbrooke on and possibly Baldwin.

The onlky player I would hate to lose is Nicholson, he is pure class and would like to see him offered an extension to his existing contract. Would hate to see him go on a free.

Have a bad feeling he’s going to have an outstanding season then walk away on a free at the end of it. Get those contract negotiations started ASAP.

I'd be surprised to see Nicholson go, having just had an operation, it would be a big risk for another club to sign him without him showing he's not just a sick note waiting to happen.

The key to keeping players this season is to have an outstanding season and get promotion with the chance of going up again the follo0wing season the carrot to keeping players like Nicholson and Annsi. I have high hopes with the great attacking options we now have and pace as well. If we can get another striker to lead the attack and a right back then it could be a fantastic season. It does seem unfair that Championshipo can have a 25 squad and yet League 1 & 2 only 20. The usual fingers up by the FA to the lower divisions. I have no confidence whatsoever in their ability to run our League.
