So, apparently he prefers a 3-5-2 and has (not surprisingly) said some good things about our current squad. So thinking how we could line up and then where to strengthen in Jan
Now (cover in brackets)....
----------Cox (Ward)
---Wilson Taylor Friend (Crama)
Hunt Bogard Evans Ward Gordon
(Hoole Finley McCormick Woods Vale)
------ Brown Martin Collins
------(Thomas Marquis Vale)
Jan....
Sort out what our plan is with the keeper situation.
Cover for Wilson and Taylor
New Left wing back
Can Hunt/Hoole do the job as a RWB?
Send Woods back, new DCM cover
New No9 or fast striker if Martin extended

One you have 3 - 5 - 3 as your formation.
What about Josh Grant and Trevor Clarke?
Also Hall the keeper.
Will he recall anyone?

Could see something along the lines of:
___________Cox
___Wilson__Taylor__Crama
Hunt___Ward___Bogarde___Vale
__________Evans
______Collins___Martin
Friend a decent option at LCB but the lack of pace with him and Wilson together would scare me.
Evans & Brown to fight it out for the #10 role.

Interviewer asked the characteristics of a Matt Taylor side and he mentioned
"Depends on the players." ✔
"One of the hardest working teams"
"Understand all facets of the game in and out of possession"
"Up and at 'em, in their faces, aggressive, put pressure on opposition as much as possible"

I can see Trevor Clarke coming back into the fold , means nothing but he liked the post of Taylor being announced and hasn’t like any of the past post so I’m guessing he’s happy.

Would not surprise me to see him go for Alex Hartridge from Exeter.
Left footed centre back and if he plans on playing a 3 at the back then he will probably want/need another left footer with only Friend the other option.
Out of contract at the end of the season too I believe.

Can someone tell me who he has managed or played with in our squad? I would look myself but I can’t be bothered to research.

Was at Newport County with Aaron Collins. He played alongside Steve Tully at Exeter (our lead academy coach). I think he might have mentioned 1 or 2 other players like Marquis but don't know if he meant he played against rather than with. |

I want to see a team that is alway asking for the ball when in possession, but also chasing everything to get the ball back when not. |

Is Trev still on our books and just on loan to wherever it is in Ireland? Was on loan to Shamrock Rovers, season ended last month with them champions. He scored 5 goals this season. Assume he still has an 18 month contract still to run with us Rory G also there. |

Maybe he will recall Trevor Clark and loan out Lewis Gordon.

There has definitely been 'favourites' that have been played this season despite being poor. Personally I'd like to see Gibbons given a run of games, for me he's a better player than Gordon, and definitely a better full back than Grant. I'm also hoping Taylor can install some confidence back into Collins, Marquis and other attacking players.
