Hopefully this money coming in from the sales can be used to invest back into the squad.
I guess Heggem will be the first choice left back now, but we’ll need another left back to push him as he’ll need to adjust to the league. Centre defence seems ok with McNair, Ajayi, Bartley and Taylor. Furlong at right back is a consistent starter so we could get away with promoting Reece Hall from within to cover him.
In midfield, we have Wallace, Diangana, Grant and Fellows for the wings so that could be strong enough as they’re flexible positionally. Add to that Bostock from the under 21’s who has been playing in pre-season. Centre of midfield will be definitely need another defensive minded player as we have Diakhite (6), who like Heggem will need to adapt, Mowatt (8), Molumby (8) and Swift (10). There is also Fenton Heard (10) and Harry Whitwell (8) who have played in pre-season from the under 21’s.
Up front we have Maja, Dike and Cole. I think Maja will come good if he can stay fit. Dike is an injury stricken player so can’t be 100% trusted as a starter once he is back, even though he is good when fit, and Cole should be a good alternative.
I’d say we need a natural left back, defensive midfielder and striker as a minimum, and I’d also look at an alternative to Swift as the 10, unless we play Wallace there and sign another winger instead.
As it stands:
