Looking at that,it's a strong starting 11 and a strong bench to call on in the second half 💪💪👌

I thought a big difference last season was that we had a really strong subs bench with good players to call on and now it's starting to look like it will be even stronger this coming season

Moore doesn't seem that big on signing players in their 30s. He had quite an old side at Wednesday.  He's also not gone back to any of his old clubs this window. Player he has gone for should be approaching, or at their peak. He may have got burned at Huddersfield as their side had been ageing for a few years.

Nothing mixed here. Sounds like we have a good player for our level signed up which is all we can ask for. Nice to be outbidding clubs who have been around the Championship and top end of League one. 
 

Certainly looks a decent signing, perhaps even a coup.

 

I wasn't being negative at all just saying fans comments are usually unreliable like with our fans not everyone views players the same. Ive been to a few places reading comments and they are mostly positive for sure but there are also posts questioning his attitude similar to how we did with ojo and some saying he is better in midfield than defence another claiming he is crap in the air others saying not as good since his injury etc etc usual mixed bag you get when a player leaves a club

The main thing for me is that the club still wanted him and most of the fans seem to agree with that.

So of the three regulars released Smith/Chislett/Sang the replacements are upgrades Humphreys/Rico/Gabriel.

Also Gabriel/Humphreys/Gordon/Rico all add pace to the team for the step up to league 1.

Anyway so far and with the possibility of signing Marko Marosi then the first team 25 man squad of senior players (excluding the U21 players Plant/Shorrock/Lomax/Walters) is just maybe another centre back and number nine short of complete (plus a couple of loans).

GK Amos/Marosi

RWB Clarke/John

RCB Gabriel/Deborah

CB Humphreys/Heneghan

LCB Hall/Gordon

LWB Headley/Hart

CM Garrity/Byers/Croasdale/Shipley/Rico

ST Stockley/Curtis/Tolaj/Paton

So that is a squad of 21 senior players so far which leaves up to 4 more possible signings possible two more permanent at centre back and number 9( plus a couple of loans).

Looking strong for league 1 with plenty of league 1 and some Championship experience good height and certainly a lift in mobility/athleticism/pace for the level.

I think Plant counts as over 21. I think you have to be under 21 on 1 Jan 26.

Plant is 20 and turns 21 in November and with both Clarkes injury record and Byers injury record if Plant at 20 for the amount of games played could be considered a senior squad player then Plant offers good squad depth as cover for RWB and CM.

Anyone have any further clues about the “Dutchie on the left hand side”?

Since Cameron Humphreys doesn't match that clue, do we have any further info?

Even as back up that’s a shocker
