Two main ways of staying up for me this season is obviously keeping everyone fit but the main one is I believe we will score a lot more goals. I piped on last season that its goals that get us the points and we were poor last season. I think our wide men created no more than a hand full of goals all season and that was the main reason we were in the bottom four.
My only concern is that Graham will still hold back on playing two attacking wide men. I hope this isn't the case because it will be so annoying seeing the likes of Elam, Denham, Senior sat on the bench. I really don't care what people say but Peyton ain't good enough so he should be sat on the bench right next to O'Neil. We should always start Denham on the right of midfield and have Elam or Senior on the left. I am yet to see Johnson play but at home I would like to see us start with Senior upfront and have both Elam and Denham playing. I can not wait to see us attack teams, I have been waiting for signings like these for years, lets not waste the talent by having them sat on the bench.
Also this debate about Shotton,I am with Ecky we probably haven't got the budget but if we have then theres no debate we get him but I think it will be on loan. If we did it would have to be Young and him at centre back, Shotton is a centre back not right back. I'm also with Gary Warrington when he says that Lane is one of the best right backs we've had at the club, he was harshly treated last season because he was playing really well and was dropped,Lane is a great defender, carries the ball upfield well and has a quality cross.
Elam once fully fit will be a very good signing for us and I am just so excited for this season. Hiopefully we can keep all the players fit.
I haven't seen any friendlies as I don't really like going to them,but has anyone got an opinion on Street
? nothing much has been said but its important to have a solid centre mid as well!!!!
