Squad for 2025-2026

[linkenholtroyal]

Ritchie and Cole done.

Good stuff

What’s the deal with Bowler - any idea? Assume he wants more money or something

I would think that due to Brogue not mentioning this for a while I would assume it is off.

But Ritchie and Cole are done, just waiting to be announced.

He asked about Bowler….

[morganb]

In brogue we trust

So, who's joining us tomorrow then?

Not 100% yet, trying to find out. hopefully I’ll know in the morning. But I’ve been told another one is over the line and ready to be announced tomorrow so fingers crossed. I have heard recently we might just be after Jerry Yates. But nothing concrete on that. And not sure he’s the one for tomorrow but we shall see.

Not Jerry Yates as he's just been confrimed to Luton

Yeah wasn’t a dig, just interested if he had heard anything more on it. Am assuming it’s off

Indeed. And looks like we told Bowler he could do one.

GK: Pereira, Stevens
RB: Abrefa, Yiadom, Ahmed
LB: Dorsett, Jacobs, Ryan
CB: O'Connor,
CB: Burns, Stickland
DM: Wing, Fraser, Spencer
CM: Savage, Borgnis
AM: Elliott, Kyerewaa, Sackey
LW: Ehibhatiomhan, Camara, Garcia
RW: Lane, Ritchie, Osho, Okine-Peters
ST: O'Mahoney, Cole, Tuma

That's pretty strong. And several of the fullbacks can cover the missing CB.


And we may end up with Knibbs still here on top.

Lane is better on the left, not the right.

He can play either. So given we have someone who can play Left and not a lot on the right, it's a pretty logical step.

Is Rushesha still alive? Not seen or heard anything about him since he signed the contract

Therefore must be injured

[Snowflake Royal]

Really hoping to see more from Elliott. Think at his best he brings something different to our midfield. He's the only player I see capable of turning someone and then breaking away from them in the middle of the pitch.

Wing has all the time in the world on the ball and can shield it really well, but he's never really breaking away from someone at pace even if he turns them. I've reallg grown to rate him deeper, dictating the passing into midfield, those 60-70 yard pings than can get in behind and turn defence into attack. And the stealthily stepping up to lurk around the edge of the box for the ball to break back to and him hit a pile driver.

Then you've got Savage who can gallop into space all day long, recover, tackle, feed the forwarsds, cross and shoot from range too. But probably isn't beating many people.
