We have an experienced striker. Need a quality experienced CB and tough DCM to help the spine through the first XI.

need more than that

Big commanding keeper, 2 big CB's, one tough tackling DMC and 2 quick wingers who can put balls into the box for Charlie is my wishlist.

Obviously need a keeper, experienced leader CB, nasty DM whom likes a tackle.

Think our lack of out and out wingers have hurt us this season but from what I’ve read it doesn’t sound like Flynn will employee a formation that utilises wingers. Same for wide forwards. We need some bodies in those positions if we plan on playing 442 or 433 but think it’s lower priority because I don’t think Flynn will set up use wide players

[Nemo]

Outgoings wise, one or two of Iandolo/Aguilar/Darcy can probably go and hopefully we'll find someone to take Adeloye. Otherwise not much out, maybe Shade or Devine but think they're less likely. Maybe the keepers.

Then I suppose probably interest likely in Hutton, not sure any others will be particularly in demand.

Yes Flynn does seem to prefer a 352 with wingbacks, but in L2 there is a distinct lack of quality wingbacks available, either they can't attack (Hunt) or cant defend (Hutton), its a difficult position to play well as the best ones seem to have been picke dup by Championship level teams where 352 is more prevalent a system.

Notts County play the 352 under Williams but he prefers 2 out and out wingers who can defend a little as opposed to 2 defenders who can attack a bit, but going by the play off games I watched they got found out with many balls down the wings where the wingers didnt track back.

Flynn played with Shade as LWB at Walsall previously, I hope he has learnt his lesson.

Shade did alright there for Walsall didn’t he he by all accounts?
Perhaps it’s something Flynn will revisit (hopefully to great success)

Yeah that what i thought, people were excited we signed him because he did alright for Walsall

I was excited about Shade because of his performances in 2 games against us. In both games he was awesome in the first half and then faded in the second. Seems he has continued to do the same for us.

I know it’s only youth football, but Abu Kanu. Wow!

[tans]

Has he signed a pro deal yet or is he the next one we flog for a fiver, a bag of footballs and a friendly against an U23 team?

[DMC]

Do we really do that anymore though?

[tans]

I dont know, but it always bloody happens. Would be nice once in a while to keep them for a couple of years etc

[Berniman]

A little bit of a youth version of Tyrese Simpson about him and he is the sort of profile of player that we would be looking to cash in on in the past - yet to be seen whether we have turned a corner and are looking to get these younger prospects into the first team or start touting them to Brighton.  Abu is a good yard stick to test that out I guess.
