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

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

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)

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.

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.
