I suspect Richard Chin is going to be more involved this year.
The way things look quite a lot of our graduates seem poised for involvement. For me that is no bad thing, but it comes second to winning every home game and drawing every away game, or the equivalent in points.
Very likeable footballer is Richard Chin by the way.

Absolutely not what we need. Chin is okay but not anywhere near what we need for top 6, especially at left wing back.
Agree and I’ll be disappointed if we don’t bring in a proper wing back for each side. We really need two for the left. On the right we’re looking stronger with Egbo there and Asiimwe as someone who could potentially break through.
Other possibility is Holden sees CBT or Campbell as a regular on one side, but I hope they’re seen more as attacking options at wing back rather than players who will play there regularly.
The one thing that professional club's can do compared to the Part time (two training sessions a week, if no mid week game) you should work morning and afternoon in pre season. Mornings on the pitch and afternoons chiling your bodies and being totally au fait with tactics regarding formations should be mandatory. No excuse in not having two different formations to keep the opposition guessing and having the ability to change during the match if necessary. Hopefully being tighter at the back won't affect our attacking options and we must have partnerships all over the pitch to be successful especially May and Leaburn with ways of getting the X factor player Corey Blackett-Taylor to contribute in the attacking half of the field. Kanu will progress this season 🤞
It's Dean Holden's gig and let's hope he can get the players in, plus improve the players still here from last season. I'm old school and believe the pre season is so important in stamping your authority and systems of playing on the squad.
Waiting for a left footed left Back who can defend mainly and attack occasionally (think of a fit Rhoys Wiggins) is like waiting for Godot.
I think Holden is a big Campbell fan, as am I, but he needs skilled deployment. At a very basic level I would like to see us establish dominance in games and then bring Campbell on to do his thing (which is excellent by-line play amongst other stuff). Campbell could also represent a good Hail Mary option, and in the meantime we wait for him to finish growing and to gain experience. Tyreece enters next season at the same age that JRS entered last season. He might even be as good as JRS.
They’ve lost a lot of players already so I think it would take a lot of money to get them to sell him. Would make them one of the favourites for relegation so I can’t see it happening
We been quoted silly numbers when we made enquiry.. see this one going to last day of the window unless the new owners are prepared to pay silly money ?
Oh a fit Rhoys Wiggins esque left back would be an absolute dream signing. Exactly the mould of player we need
Marcus, if we had a Wiggins clone on the left then 3-5-2 would really come in the equation for one formation to play especially when/if Leaburn and May are fit to play together in a two. Finding an attacking right back/wing back is easier and we may possibly all ready have this player at the club.
I believe I was the first fan that was told by Rhoys Wiggins that his new career was going to be in sports nutrition on the night of the Donny semi final just a few months after retirement at the young age of 30. He wasn't in a great place at the time (sitting next to me!) and felt that an injury at just 17 for Palace (on tour in America) stopped him reaching his full potential.
I praised him for his time at Cafc and Rhoys said that was his best run of matches. I decided NOT to ask about the night he was ripped a new one by Wilf Zaha at the valley and got injured 🤫
Not as such although in the post match I/V with Louis Mendez, DH said there was a couple of deals a phone call away but like the May deal it might be sooner or later 🤷♂️.

A season long loan would be my preference.
