Name them.
Iverson and as yet unknown Striker may be included.
We're thin imo...........quantity plenty, quality lacking.
Same old, same old.
Don't know why this is a sticky...
 
As it stands

Iversen, Rudd, Hudson

Olusunde, Sepp, Storey, Lindsay, Hughes, Earl, Cunningham, Bauer

Barkhuizen, Potts, Ledson, Whiteman, Browne, Johnson, Sinclair, Bayliss, Harrop

Riis, Evans, Maguire, New Striker

That’s 24

You’ve then got to factor in Harrop potentially leaving, Rafferty maybe being included, Bayliss going out on loan, Thomas being offered a deal. There’s room to manoeuvre but relies on people going out. Not a squad that looks like it’ll challenge for the playoffs

I feel like I’ve missed someone out

Hunts?
 
Iversen, Rudd, . Let Hudson go don’t need to waste a space and have Lombard as 3rd choice.
Olosunde, Barkhuizen, VDB, Storey, Bauer, Lindsay, Hughes, Cunningham, Earl.
Ledson, Whiteman, Browne, Bayliss, DJ, Potts
Evans, Sinclair, Riis, Maguire.
That’s 21
Get rid of Hudson , Ripley , Rafferty , Huntington , Harrop.

Bring in a LCB, holding midfielder, attacking midfielder and striker.

Thats an exceedingly dull squad. Outside of Cunningham, not sure anyone will actually get me out of my seat, unless DJ can return to 2019 form this year.

Not quite as it stands given that Iversen has not yet definitely returned. But assuming he does and we do give this fellow Thomas a contract then that that would mean Rafferty and Huntington being surplus as well obviously as Ripley. It would also mean someone else would have to leave to make room for a new striker - my candidate for that would be Maguire, who no longer has any of the pace needed at this level, with Sinclair being regarded as a striker and not as a midfielder. After that well who knows - do we need all three of Hughes, Cunningham and Earl, will someone take a punt on Harrop or will he force his way onto FM's plans, will Johnson's international performances tempt someone to make us an offer we can't refuse. But the transfer 'window' does not close until the end of August and that still leaves plenty of time for things to happen.

As I was typing out it was depressing me. There’s absolutely no flair there whatsoever. There’s no one that would make you excited to turn up to watch on a cold wet night in November. The most entertaining part of that squad will be Ledson and Whiteman for their range of passing, which says a lot about the squads quality
 
PNE most likely way of scoring with present set up, is via set piece, striker finds yard in the box and Ledson/Whiteman thread one to them or breakaway.
 
Think that t

Looking at that squad, even if we sign this "mythical striker" the best we can look forward to is a very hard working, hard to score against set up, that will rely on opposition defensive lapses, break aways and set pieces.
Think we will see alot more use of the long throw, from last season.
Hope the set up works and we pick up early points and wins, especially at home, let's wait and see... 🤔🙄

Long throw
That's Barky playing then....
We will need Maguire for falling over winning free kicks
 
Getting rid of Hudson & Ripley and having one of the youth team keepers as 3rd choice would free up a space in the squad.

For me Rafferty 100% needs moving on, best for both parties. great guy but for me not champ quality.

Didn't we give Lombard a pro contract?

Ripley will leave but I reckon we will keep hold of Hudson.

Hudson is over the 21 y.o threshold now so will take up a place in the 25 man squad. For me he needs to go out on loan so it frees up a space when the younger lad can be in squad without taking up a space. No point having three keepers taking up 3 spaces in a 25 man squad when 1 of them will never kick a ball all season.
