Goats squad analysis thread 2025/6

[davek]

Basically, 7 outfield players were bought. Of those, 2 will be regular starters: Grealish, Dewsbury-Hall.

Barry will deputise for Beto
Alcaraz will deputise for KDH
Dibling will deputise for Ndiaye
Aznou will probably not feature at all
Rohl will deputise for Gueye

I’ve changed my mind, it’s been good.

I’m pretty shallow in general

What a difference 38 minutes makes

Yes but these are young players who will hopefully come good. We showed we had a good enough team last year once dyche gone.

[MACCA75]

Probably the lightest in numbers in the league tbh. Let’s hope we have better luck with injuries than recent times.

Some real quality though finally in the starting XI
Pickford
Tarks
Branners
KDH
Grealish
Ndiaye

That’s over half the team are top drawer PL players.

Yeah honestly think it's criminal that of the 3 absolute needs this team had going into the window was RW, CDM and a RB and we really only got one of them. Genuinely just can't believe they weren't all addressed

To be fair we needed a lot more than that to compete a squad,

We've improved our starting eleven and now have quality depth for a long season ahead. Rome wasn't built in a day.

I think the opposite. We’ve improved depth but only two new signings walk into our starting XI as immediate starters.

We've got 2 players for every position. Plus a couple of extra keepers. Happy enough with that. Squad is better than last season.

Concern is right back, but Moyes probably secretly always wanted OBrien there. Aznou and Barry are raw.
