The Squad List (2024/25 Edition)

[RobertT]

I can think of at least 3 who would get good money .

Who?  Not saying we have a bunch of misfits or anything, just that players in L2 rarely go for much unless they are a forward with what looks like untapped talent for a higher level.  I am struggling to think of anyone bar Wakeling who hits those requirements currently, plus they need a long term contract as well.

In the past few years the ones who we have sold for any money at this level have been DJ, Ajose and?

McKirdy wouldn't have brought in game changing money for example.

The only others beyond those in years gone by were players who were at the top of League One.

[No Longer Posh Red]

I think the main thing is that, Brynn apart, we can probably cope with any of the loan players being recalled better than we did last season

FBT ?

Not sure we have decent cover if he gets recalled - which maybe there is something in Burton not wanting him cup tied ?

Yeah I have a feeling they might look to recall him in January. Perhaps their new manager fancies him more than Jimmy Floyd Mayweather did.

Unless we step in and make them an offer for him now that they can't refuse.

I like FBT but I really don't think we should be making any sort of "offers that can't be refused" for a left back. If he's available for a reasonable price, then great, but the bank should remain firmly unbroken.

I have to admit I would be happy to pay £50k to £75k for him, he is our biggest threat from attacking corners, he can play CB and LB and we do look a much weaker side when hes not playing, I would value him higher than say Louis Reed.

[Jimmy Quinn]

Who would you prefer if Joe Tomlinson became available🤔

No, I would pick FBT but I would sign him too

[Jimmy Quinn]

Good answer😀 I've no idea if Tomlinson is injured or out of favour as I never hear his name for Peterborough.

Hes out of favour, he was available on deadline day for a loan move but nothing transpired.

Cheers JJ so maybe still an option in January depending.....

attacking threat at corners and swindon town is something that i have never really seen. maybe with flint.
all of set pieces are generally useless. something i wish we would get coached into more. those extra points from set pieces are huge in a season. like arsenal on sunday.

Most teams in L2 play for set peices and often score from them (against us!) the last real attacking threat from corners for me was Shaun Taylor.

For his height FBT is really good in the air, but hes no ST.

Unfortunately though he (and MacDonald when fit) are our only real threats at attacking corners.

[Bob's Orange]

Unless we step in and make them an offer for him now that they can't refuse.

He joined Burton in July 2021 signing a 2 year contract and Burton probably have 2 or 3 options depending on whether Dino Mamma Mia rates him or not.

1. They recall him, he has a great second half of the season in league 1 and he signs a new contract (think this is unlikely)

2. They recall him and sell him to us, or another team for a token amount in the January transfer window before his contract runs out.

3. They let him stay with us and just let his contract run out (Point 2 probably makes more business sense for Burton I would have thought)
