Throws up some very interesting thoughts..
4,9 & 10 being free confirms the work we have yet to complete in the transfer window.

Of the players rumoured:

4 seems a good fit for Jacob Greaves
9 for Dwight Gayle and
10 for David McGoldrick

Armstrong and Gyokores sound like they where our top picks.. whether we can get them over the line remains to be seen.


1 Zach Steffen
2 Isiah Jones
3 Ryan Giles
4 Jacob Greaves
5 Bryant Bilongo
6 Dael Fry
7 Marcus Tavernier
8 Riley McGree
9 Dwight Gayle
10 David McGoldrick
11 Sonny Finch
12 Hayden Coulson
14 Hayden Hackney
15 Anfernee Dijksteel
16 Jonny Howson
17 Paddy McNair
18 Duncan Watmore
19 Josh Coburn
20 Calum Kavanagh
21 Joseph Gibson
22 Marc Bola
23 Liam Roberts
24 Tommy Smith
25 Matt Crooks
26 Darrah Lenihan


Martin Payero spotted training with the number 21.. then absent from pre season with young Joseph Gibson sporting 21..


Steffen/Roberts

McNair/Dijksteel
Fry/Lenihan
Greaves/Bilongo

Jones/Smith
Crooks/Hackney
Howson/Gibson
McGree/Tavernier
Giles/Bola

Watmore/Finch
Coburn/Kavanagh

We’ll see.Comforting to see that an injury of suspension to Fry or Tavernier will not completely crumble our season.

Canny goalkeeping kit in show today. ‘Mark Schwarzer Silver’ reminiscent of the 05-06 season.

It was good to be back. Hadn’t realised how much I’d missed it. Most fans chomping at the bit (as seen with the introduction of pyro.. at a friendly in Newton Aycliffe) great atmosphere, fine weather and a genuine buzz around the faithful.

First thing that struck me was how much we were working down the left hand side. Bilongo, taking care of business and lots of positive play. Worked up to McGree who looks to add that sort of magic we’ve only seen from Tavernier previously. The same can be said for Ryan Giles.. straight away he slots in, he gets it, he’s doing that job. Perfect accompaniment to having Jones on the right. Solid performances from Smith, Lenihan and Roberts.

We are more cohesive, we are more balanced, the start of last season I said we had an outside chance of 6th place. Bring two top drawer strikers into this squad and we challenge the top two.

Would prefer 4 to be taken by a midfielder - as it's traditionally been a midfielder number in England.
But then again I'm not really that arzs,ed
 
Think it’s fair to say that many of those want be the actual numbers. Looks like 1 4 5 9 10 and 11 are still available too so still expect quite a few more incomings.
Payero was 21 in training.. seems mad for Joe Gibson to have that now ( to me at least )

As for Bilongo and Finch.. why not give them any other number? 1, 4 , 9 & 10 have been left out.. why not 5 & 11?
