Write 3 reports, one good, one bad, one indifferent and then copy/paste and just change the names.

I think that's what one of my teachers used to do. But she was useless. My name can be male/female and my RE teacher wrote something like '... works well in class. She gets on well with others'

I had obviously made a big impression....

Not sure
I think @Skybluebeliever said Palmer is on holiday so not sure whether he's back yet to complete the formalities
Nothing else imminent as far as I know

So much for the ‘three players lined up and ready to go’ then.

Tbh transfers involve a lot of paperwork and very importantly a medical
It could be that everything is agreed and signed but the contract depends on passing a medical
Only after that would the documents be lodged with the FA to allow the club to announce it
And if it's a young player on loan from a PL club the host club usually want the player to be involved in their pre-season games before they allow them to go out
But everything may have been agreed for the loan in the meantime
So the 3 ready to go might still be the case - but only a few insiders will have the info

Bored at work (again) so knocked up an ideal window on a sticky note

The squad isnt that bad, the defence is the issue ist seems

Whats peoples thoughts on the below?

GK - Moore, Wilson
RWB - Dabo, Kane, (Eccles)
CB - Hyam, Rose, Fadz,(Bidwell)
LWB - Bidwell
Midfield - Hamer, Sheaf, Kelly, Allen, Eccles, Howley
CAM - O'Hare Palmer
ST - Gyokores, Godden, Walker, Waghorn, Tavares

Try and shift

Dacosta
Walker
Waghorn
Kane

Add Minimum
2CB
1LWB
1ST


If possible - shift Kelly and get another CM in

We really aren't far off when you look at it on paper

A man after my own heart!

Id worry about the following with that:

- Only Dabo at RWB. Not sure I’d want to rely on Eccles for any period there.
- Midfield feels very weak past the first two
- AM seems shallow considering we often play two
- I don’t think from what I’ve seen Howley and Tavares will be challenging the first team. Hope I’m wrong though.

Potential first team squad would be:

Moore
Hyam CB CB
Dabo Hamer Sheaf LWB
O’Hare Palmer
Gyokeres

S: Wilson, Fadz, Bidwell, Eccles, Allen, ST, Godden

Already looking a bit ropey on the bench, would be relying on the ST to be your game changer. Then beyond that you’ve got:

Rose, Howley, Tavares

Which seems very light. I’d like to see another RWB and an AM or a CM who can push up.
