If Morgan is in the team ahead of Fraser I will be astounded and think that Garner will be sacked by the following Monday. I am also fairly certain we won't be playing a 532 formation.

Midfield selection is going to be difficult this year but the easiest decision about it should be that Morgan isnt in it

That is a 3-5-2 formation not a 5-3-2 and believe me having been the person calling the shots on the touchline there is a massive difference even if you can switch in seconds by getting your wing backs to hold their defensive positions.
The thought that CBT would spend more time nearer to his own box this season would only happen if Tony Pulis was manager.
Fraser will be the catalyst for any success this season and Stockton hasn't signed for Cafc unless I have missed the breaking news.
Take with pinch of salt until Ben Garner names his team for Accrington Stanley away. Even then the 11 on the field towards the end of the match is as relevant in the potential 16 players who can influence the result for teams over 90+ minutes.
Definitely think a left back a winger/striker is a must before A.S. game. But for me after seeing yesterday the winger/striker would be the priority for me. Would love us to be in for Deji Sontona only 19 but ex Man Utd (quickest player on their books at the time) played for niece and was at Brentford last season. Thought be championship clubs after him but seen sheff weds and derby both interested. Think would fit our system perfectly. Give us another CBT option but better finisher.

It would be great to get two in before the first game but it’s not a must. We still have a squad that can win games and it’s a 46 game season. Even if new signings come in during the next week they’ll likely be on the bench at most.

Agreed, I think it would really give us an extra little boost going into the season.
As our strongest XI according to how Garner wants us to play and when they're all fit.
Looking at that, Egbo is out for a bit, so Clare slides in. McGrandles won't be fit in time, so Dobson is a shoe-in, but I don't think he's an automatic starter under Ben. I still think we're short on quality out wide, and expect Kirk to be a squad option at best and a first choice winger comes in, and I believe a left sided defender will also come in, be it a left back or a left footed centre back.
Please dont post rumours linking us to players with WAGS. Just spent the last 10 mins down an internet rabbit hole where I now know the life & times of Rosie Webster.

Watching this Man U v VIlla pre season game on dodgey stream, a young lad getting a run out called Kesler Hayden left wing back was on loan with Swindon last season before moving to MK Dons for the 2nd half of the season. The commentators seem to think he will go out on loan again this, looks mustard and I think be perfect for Garner ball

Is he playing on the opposite side too? Usually a RB/RWB. I think he’d have been a good signing but can’t see it now we have Sessegnon. Need a left footed defender

He'd be an ideal player to sign on loan - He scored against us for Milton Keynes at the Valley last season

I stand corrected he was favouring his left foot so assumed he was left footed sorry
Either way it’s encouraging to hear he still needs improvement in areas of the team, I’d be worried if he didn’t say that. Most important as everyone is saying is that real spark up front and the left back, sessengon didn’t want to use his left foot.
I think we’ll see a left back and wide scoring attacker. I think we’ll stick at CB because we’ve got numerous promising youngsters. That could backfire because having three senior CBs could be ok, but probably not when one of them is Inniss. On paper I still feel we will be a couple short and hugely reliant on 2/3 going forward staying fit.
At least with the current regime you know you’re not getting any bullshit around transfer policy, it’s clear we’ll get more in most of which depends on us outing a couple first. Let’s see what they come up with and get behind the team between now and the end of the window.

Where has this rumour, yes rumour on the rumour thread, heavens what next, that Dobson is leaving or being sold?

Out of interest, I noticed Chuks hasn’t scored in preseason could that be because he’s asked for a transfer or being sold, coincidence?
