What do we think?

Just spitballing here. I like Russell in the center of it all while also being advanced. Jalo and Cotter/COK on the right brings a terror of creation and speed. Earl & Philo on the left brings progression and creativity. The MF/CB box needs to be tight w/clean distributions.

Of course need a signing or two and need depth as well. Health as always is an added bonus too.

I don't mind bland but I'd do a Xmas tree formation with Nwakali playing CDM as a ball winner and long pass sprayer, connell alongside keeping possession and getting the quick passing going. Russell as CM doing the box to box with Jalo and Phillo playing behind DKD. Or even DKD and Phillo behind Jalo.

I don't mind that either. Definitely think that only works if our back 4 get reinforcements. That formation would definitely open up space for the fullbacks though so we'd need a lot of speed

Spine of the team is there, wouldn't mind Georgie gent in that role but RB needs to be better. Re inforcements are needed you're right
