We're sort of assuming that our new system will work with the players we have. I don't think Lowe has always played 3 at the back. If the season kicked off tomorrow (without the injuries we currently have
GK Cooper
CB Aimson
CB Canavan
CB Sawyer
DM Edwards
RWB Riley
CM Sarcevic
CM Mayor
LWB Smith Brown
CF Taylor
CF Lolos
Subs
Wootton, McFadzean, C. Grant, J. Grant, Randell, Telford, Fletcher
Chaps in bold i'd quite like replacements for, although in Lolos' case he'll hopefully be a wee nugget. He'll play for Greece in the next 2 years. You've heard it here first. Maybe play one of Sawyer/Canavan. Also i'm not convinced about the pace/energy of that midfield 5. The Sarcevic role is crucial.
It may be something like:
GK NEW PLAYER
CB Aimson
CB Canavan
CB NEW PLAYER
DM Edwards
RWB Riley (need back up for him, I know Smith Brown can also play on the right but still..)
CM Sarcevic (I think this position is absolutely key - I wonder if he puts Edwards here and McFadzean in DM)
CM Mayor
LWB Smith Brown
CF Taylor
CF NEW STRIKER
Subs
Cooper, Sawyer, McFadzean, C. Grant, J. Grant, Lolos, Telford
Wootton, Moore (i'd like him to get into the team), Randell, Sangster, Fletcher, Jephcott all close to squad of 18. Also who will be challenging for the wing back roles? The Grants? Moore? Key if we pick up an injury. We probably need one more natural wing back as well.
