Who knows.  One thing for sure The King of Twitter is very quiet and has still not said his goodbyes/given his thanks to the fans for their support

Think he deleted his Twitter account after his World War 3 predictions

Agree that if any 'big' signing remains, it has to be up top, as apart from that I think we have our matchday 18, and definitely have a starting XI for every possible formation. With Gibbo unlikely to be 100% fit for the start of the season though, what about a 4-2-3-1?

                             Covolan

Smith        Martin            Johnson         Benning

                       Pett        Walker

       Worrall          Conlon         Rodney

                             Wilson

Subs - Stone, Legge, Jones, Garrity, Taylor, Amoo, new FW

That has plenty of energy to press high when we're off the ball, and the ability to transition to a 3-5-2 in possession, with Benning bombing on and Rodney running the channels. DC seemed to like the flexibility of a back 4 with 3 who can play CB, with one FB playing further forward. 

I also wonder then if Jones comes into the equation a bit more if playing a back 4 when Gibbo is fit, to provide that balance, particularly against a strong/bigger attacking side where we want to keep it tighter (so Gibbo  Smith  Martin  Jones, with Gibbo bombing on).

Either way it's great to have options like this.

Looking at most of the suggested starting Xl, we still have a decent core from last year, so I’m not that concerned about the risk of us taking a long time to ‘gel’. 

I’m intrigued to see who the striker signings are and whether we’ll bring in a traditional target man.

It's a very good looking side. But the first thing I noticed about it was Martin Johnson haha.

Pett        Walker

I think signing footballers would be a much better idea.
