Now that Peter Clarke's transfer is signed, sealed and delivered (He's Ours) Our side is looking more and more complete by the day. A choice back line of Hammell Barrett Clarke and Francis looks incredibly strong, and with a 2nd Back four of Wilson Sodje Spinner Hunt we have great strength in depth here.
For once we have 2 very capable Goalkeepers at this level. Flahavan is, well, Flavs and looks nothing short (No pun intended) of quality. Collis provides the height of the pair and has proven himself to be equally adept at shot stopping.
Midfield could be improved with the signing of another attacking, creative spark but things look fine here. JCR Gutts Maher and Gower had great games against Pompey and Gutts completely ran the show, getting stuck in when needed whilst laying great passes to Freddy. Cole as an impact sub is great, whereas Smith, Hunt, Bradbury andpossibly Moussa, Ledgester and Kearns could come in if they prove themselves.
Up front we all know we need a forward, but first choice looks fantastic if everything is bang on form. Ricketts should prove to be a great partner for Freddy, whilst Lawson looks on fire and Bradbury's first touch and spread of the ball is still fantastic.
I still think we're in for a season of struggle and grinded results, but everything to look forward to is positive. Personally, i can't wait until the new Stadium is built and we have a fair amount of financial clout for this league... Tilson's done this much on a limited budget, I'd love to see what he could do with some real financial muscle.
