I'd get rid of Lapslie. Harsh maybe, but how I feel.
Morgan isn't being used by Bowyer so let him go out on loan and gain experience. I would prefer him in the CAM role that Oztilliams have been wasting.
Morgan free to push on would be a worthwhile gamble I think - not to mention a tidy finish last night. He's hungry but doesn't track back, so give him that Williams position with Watson/Levitt covering the track backs.
Lucky we're allowed 22 in the squad but including the positions we need more in and the players people think we're signing we currently have:
Amos
Maynard-Brewer
Matthews
Oshilaja
A.Nother RCB
A.Nother RCB
Pearce
Famewo (L)
Purrington
Koiki
Maddison
Doughty
Pratley
Watson
Levitt (L)
Morgan
Gilbey
F.Caskey
Oztumer
Williams
Vennings
Henry
Lapslie
Aneke
Schwartz
Washington
Davison
Bonne
A.Nother
Anymore?
Assuming Bonne and Phillips go we need to cut a bit more fat from the squad... Another 5 to meet the 22 squad size required.
If our next 4 signings are Matthews, Koiki, Schwartz and Maddison then I'll be very happy. Still think we'd need a winger and another CB on top of that, and if I'm being greedy another striker
This.
Think we still need another 6 or 7, and that’s the positions I’d agree with too.
6 or 7 without another CM? Would be nice to have another goalscoring CM in the squad.

Think centre half is crucial now. Pearce had a setback at the start of the week with a calf niggle (how bad he was unsure of at the time). Apparently was pushed extremely hard on his comeback and broke down

That would be Maddisons role
He’s a winger or 10, I mean a box to box CM as a replacement for Aribo/Gallagher. Gilbey will hopefully do that but I don’t think we have another CM who will get a few goals unless someone steps up (JFC or Morgan?).
Expect the bench would be: Subs: M.Brewer, Oshilaja, Barker, Pearce, Pratley, F.Caskey, Loan Striker
Can see Pearce rotating with Famewo if Famewo can't play RCB (looks both footed so far)
Would expect that a good number of younger players will be loaned out.
3 central defenders on the bench, No Williams, levitt or oztumer To come on and change the game?
43 0-0 draws?
Whilst Ozzy played well last time out Williams hasn't changed any games this season and Levitt I forgot about.
He can have one of those CB's spaces on the bench. Expect he'd be subbed on for Gilbey and visa versa.
If Phillips isn't part of Bows plans then I'd like to see a keeper come in. I really don't rate Amos, sure he was good when we had him three years ago, but he has gone backwards since then.
I mentioned him last week (no inside info just as a possibility). Sounds like he's had a good couple of years at Blackpool on loan from Sheff Utd so knows the league. Don't know too much about him other than that.

Amos might just need a run of games to get back to his best.

And a balanced defence in front of him
Saturday against Sunderland will provide better judgement (even if Barker is still @ Right-Back) but we straight away looked a lot more organised having Famewo back there against Lincoln

"League One and League Two will be restricted even further, with a limit of 22 registered players agreed. Clubs also agreed to decrease the overall figure further to a maximum of 20 players in the lower tier in 2021/22.
The limits, which brings the Championship in line with Premier League rules, do not apply to cup competitions or include under-21s unless they were signed on loan."
Not sure why Schwartz is regularly referred to as 'the Danish striker'. He has a name, it's not that hard to remember. It's weird. Maddison is never 'the tattooed English winger'. Anyway, Schwartz would be a very significant signing for us; he's got a great goalscoring record at a decent level (better than Vetokele's) and he would be a real coup. Sounds a bit like a Buyens situation, taking advantage of a bit of a falling out to take a player away from a level where we normally wouldn't get a sniff.

The Danish striker?
The tattooed English winger?
