[Johnny75]

Rafa Nya has signed hasn't he? U23 defender.

 

[Tony Towner]

I think Rory Brown is still with us

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

I think Rory Brown is still with us

Nah, he's long, long gone

 

[Keef]

You've got zyro down twice in the released bit

 

[Jolemai]

Bonatini is AWOL? Isn't Phil off the books now?

 

[Tredman]

Leo was on the official photos last week I think.

 

[Nando]

I've just used AWOL for players that aren't likely to ever play for us again, but aren't in the u23's.

 

[Kenny]

Leo might get a shot in the Europa.

Phil has as much chance as I do mind

 

[The Bear]

We could play Bonatini and BAS in the early games and still win comfortably without using anyone else.

 

[Kenny]

We could play Bonatini and BAS in the early games and still win comfortably without using anyone else.

I know we should win but might be risky playing the games with just 2 players!

 

[The Bear]

I dunno....rush goalie?

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

I dunno....rush goalie?

Play Coads to get back on the line. He loves a bit of that.

 

[The Bear]

Traore would be top candidate. Rushing is about the only thing he's good at!

 

[Kenny]

Ryan Leak has left Wolves and signed for Spanish side Burgos

 

[Dennisons Wrong Foot]

Are any of the younger players expected to have a break-out season? I know nothing of the U23s and U18s, but does anyone think Vinagre or MGW will start more league games this season?

Conversely, could this be one season too many for one of the senior players? Maybe Bennett, or Doc, will not perform to the same standard this year.

Not suggesting any of this could/should happen, just wondering what you guys think.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Vinagre will start more for me. I at least hope so.

I certainly see Vinagre on the left and Jonny on the right happening quite a bit.

 

[Tony Towner]

The thing with Jonny on the right is when he didn't play as well as on the left. Although he 'should' be better on that side, it's 4/5 years now since he regularly played there

 

[Alan]

According to transfermarkt, at least...

Jonny has played 261 senior matches in his career. 52 of them have been on the right hand side. He hasn't played more than 10 matches on the right in a year since the 2015/16 season at Celta.

He's a left sided player who can play on the right, not the other way around, IMO.

 

[Johnny75]

Bollocks Alan, just bollocks.
