Pennington(TBC), Browning(TBC), Galloway(TBC).


 


My preliminary analysis says we look light in quality in the 3 CM positions (have to assume minimal contribution from young Beni+Dowell and perma crock McCarthy) and at ST (need someone top drawer and have Tosun be the sub/backup instead)

Midfield and up top is a concern for me, lacking in real quality and depth, its not terrible by any means, but they would certainly be the 2 areas I would be looking at improving when possible.
 
Why is Pennington on the TBC list? He’s one more injury or red card away from being a first choice CB (as terrifying as that may be).

I thought he might have gone on loan, but I suppose with Jags being suspended and Keane and Mina possibly out for a few weeks he is indeed close to being called upon.

Will see if hes still here in 12 hours.
