I think we need a marquee winger to replace Mooney as an absolute priority, I don't see who's stepping up to contribute his numbers unless we can get Jordan firing. Followed by a left-back to compete with Brockbank, who may be the real deal, but if he's not then we're going to look really weak in that position. I'm not too concerned about him being thrown in at the deep end mind, Joel Senior had only ever played proper football for FC United (NPL) and a couple of games at Curzon Ashton before joining us. He seems to be very highly rated, not just by our own manager, and he's the player I'm most excited to see in pre-season.

My concern at this stage with the squad so far is where are the goals going to come from? We've lost Mooney and Hancock and haven't replaced either yet. I can't see Hulme being prolific (hope I'm wrong), so that only leaves Colclough and to an extent Kosylo. I'm sure we will be bringing one or two more attacking players in but they need to be top quality, as you say.
Would agree, and I think Parky eluded to one or two coming in on wing/up top. He's trialling numerous players at the moment, so hopefully someone will fit the bill. Or he's still awaiting a few feelers for later in the window.

Agreed, the loss of Mooney might be more sorely felt than we realise. Even if he'd had a stinker of a game he'd pop up with a goal, it's so hard to replace those numbers from the wing.

Exactly my fear, at present.

Two of our top four goalscorers from last season have departed: Mooney (13 goals) and Hancock (9 goals).

Which is why I've been banging on about the need for a wide man with a few goals in him and a back up number nine other than Dinanga.
Reading the interview given by Parky, I think we're only likely to see the former.
Hope I'm wrong.

We could probably expect to concede a few less with the new look defence (and defensive midfield cover) but two almost-wingbacks gets me a bit twitchy.

PS. You KNOW you're getting old when not only policemen but fullbacks start looking younger and younger! 😉

It’s when judges start to look young you’ve got to worry.😱

I think that we should keep faith with jackson, injury and the form of mooney and colclough meant his chance were limited, even though we will still bring someone else in we have had worse options in the past so im feeling confident even with him starting.

I guess that's something that may be answered in the friendlies. Even if he's a success though, there's no back up for the wide right berth.


PS. Or for number nine.

That's fair, the little we have actually seen of him has been mostly at right-back, too.

He's definitely a fabulous player, but it is worth noting that his injury problems didn't start with us. How many players can we potentially afford to carry as a full time outfit?

Millenic Alli can be seen training with the squad in the recent photos on the website. Hayden Campbell too, I think.

Definitely Hayden Campbell - the Salford kit confirms it.

Two of our top four goalscorers from last season have departed: Mooney (13 goals) and Hancock (9 goals).

To be fair, 9 goals was a decent return from Hancock given he was press ganged into centre forward duties at times.

With Hulme up front all season he may have reached 12-15.

These are two shoes we need to fill with quality. Easier said than done I know but these aren’t replacements we can scrimp on I think.

Call me Mr Pedantic Pants, but wouldn't replacing Hancock and Mooney be 4 shoes?  ;) ;) ;)
