Nobody should expect to be starting. All should hope to be - and working hard to get the nod.

It's very much a squad effort and with injury, loss of form, suspension, all could play a part. Plus DU has hinted at flexible tactics, so players could be in/out depending on opposition or state of game.

4 outfield subs. He can play left wing, right wing, up top in a 2 and any of a 3, and I'm sure Curle had him wing back at one point! Great option off the bench at this level if he's not starting. 

 

Tollit like Rooney and Fondop can play one position. Not good enough to command that stop so IF we sign this lad Tollitt needs sending to Halifax. 

thats a good point its not 5 subs is it in reality is it, its only 4. bit slow on that one me, have to admit!

After years of suffering mediocre players, especially attackers, it’s a bit baffling that there’s now concern at having too many good players.

Some people are very confident that he's signed. IF he has, then we have a very exciting attacking line-up, with options:

 

                            Willoughby/Reid

 

Ward/Tollitt          Nuttall/Fondop.      Dallas/Green

 

                    Lundstron/Sheron   Shelton/Gardner

 

Kitching/Couto  Hogan/Oil tanker  Hobson/Sutton  AN Other

 

                                      Norman/Hudson

 

 

Just need a RB (or two) and a CB (with McGahey leaving at some point).

 

This is starting to look really, really good.

 

 

swap the players in the 9 & 10 positions and lm on board. that's my fave formation, but there's potential 'one up front' pissboil..

You know what I mean though. It's a squad game to an extent but if you had Nuttall, Reid, Willoughby and Dallas those are 4 forwards who will be among our high earners. Would they be getting enough game time to be happy and motivated?

 

Excellent and very novel problem for us to have mind!

Don’t be surprised to see

 

Dallas - Nuttall - Willougby

 

as a front 3 in some games. They’ll all get plenty of minutes.

Yeah, Warnock used to say - you can never have enough strikers, and I think there’s some merit in that. But I take your point - there is a concern some will spit their dummy out as none of them are squad filler type signings. 
 

I love Big Mike- but he can go.

Luamba - is at Barnsley on trial- so may go. 
Hope will have takers because he’s a good pro. 
 

That would leave. 

Kurt

Nuttall

Reid

Possibly Dallas. 
 

That is a class front four, and is a lot easier to manage and give them game time.
