I see what you’re saying Dave, just a bit worried what happens if Taylor gets injured or loses a bit of form. Berardi moving over, or Cooper have to step in I guess, which may or may not mean Byram dropping to right back, and a lot of the team getting disrupted with at least one player out of position.
Having seen some of the pre-season, what would you say would happen? Also, who is the likely starter alongside Bamba? Cooper or Bellusci? Kev. Pretty pleased with the close season too Kev. Still looks to lack another winger - this heavy metal pressing lark, by Uwe's own omission is a tiring formation that requires squad rotation especially in midfield and up front. Byram and Dallas either side of Wood looks good. But if you want to rotate Byram and Wood with other players, the quality drops off fast (Doukara seemingly next in line). Hopefully the rumoured one further signing will address this. The lad Buckley from Sunderland would seem the obvious one. Depth in midfield will look much better once Murphy gets fit and back and I thought Phillips looked good when he came on against Everton. In my greedy dream world we'd get in Barton (yes, I know, a lot of luggage there) - a late career mature Barton could do a lot for that young midfield. But that isn't going to happen. In defence my greater concern is centre back the numbers (Bamba, Bellusci, Wootton, Cooper, Killock) cannot cover a lack of quality (only really Bamba). If we want to be seriously challenging, we would ideally bring another quality centre back in (and let Wootton go if we need to balance out). Full back I think we can muddle through and place some faith in the well regarded youth lads there as cover. So quite a lot of steps forward which ti so be applauded, and I would hope top half, but probably still 2 more quality signings away from feeling we're really "having a go". ____________________________________________________________ UK Shared Business Services Ltd.
