Final Squad:
GK - Woodman | Dovin | Wilson
RB - van Ewijk | Reynolds
RCB - Thomas | Darling
LCB - Kitching | Clarke | Binks
LB - Bos | Bidwell
CDM - Grimes | Sheaf
RCM - Burger | Allen
LCM - Rudoni | Torp
RW - Sakamoto | Poku
ST - Simms | Thomas-Asante | Bassette
LW - Wright | Mason-Clark | Paterson
(26 players - Bassette can still be u21 registered, if I’m wrong unregister Dovin until Jan and register him over someone who’s out for the season as there will be one)
