August 2021 Update Part 1​

View attachment 160415

It's a short post this time because a lot action is in the back end of the month but I'm going to do the pecking orders again with the new players

Injury Return
View attachment 160413
Joe Thomson returns from 4 weeks twisted ankle injury

New signing
View attachment 160411View attachment 160410
Two new signing this year, the first was 425K capture of Derby right back Ashley Richards former Swansea man. The second player was 575K Left Back Kgosi Ntlhe from Huddersfield. The two players offer a lot of experience to the club and help bolster our promotion chances .

Squad Pecking Order​

Goalkeeper

1. 1.Mark Gilliespie
2. 41. James Phillips
3. 13. David Martin
4. 50. Martin Serrell

Only change in this lineup is that Phillips and Martin are now at the same level. I think I'm still going send Phillips on loan just to improve him a little bit more but he replaces Martin after his retirement

Right Back

1. 12. Ashley Richards
2. 2. Cuco Martina
3. 39. Kingsley Nwankwo

Some new faces in this position Richards in the top spot, Martina as the rotation and hope to give Nwankwo his debut this year but he operates in a WB position which gives us more shape

Left Back

1. 27. Kgosi Ntlhe
2. 24. Tyler Blackett
3. 3. Joe Mattock
4. 48. David Hendry

Ntlhe is the best option at left back but Blackett doubles up as centre back that's good then we use Mattock as a back up option. Hendry may get a debut this year.

Centre Back

1. 6 . Matthew Clarke
2. 14. Winston Reid
3. 5. Jack McConnell
4. 26. Kevin Hill
5. 25. Kyle Marshall
6. 37. Brian Miller
7. 35. Tony Baker
8. 38. Nathan Fraser

Clarke and Reid the obvious starting two with McConell as cover then it would be Blackett if not playing left back. Hill will get starts as rotation and Marshall will get a handful of starts. Miller and Fraser may get debuts and Baker is on last legs at the club

Defensive Midfielder

1. 8. Matthew Mitchell
2. 4. Rohan Ince
3. 45. Paul McAuley
4. 43. Yousef Livingstone
5. 47. Karl Bird

Mitchell is first choice with Ince second but both can operate as CM. McAuley will operate between backup and short loans. Livingstone and Bird are likely to get debuts.

Centre Midfielder

1. 16. Ryan Tunnicliffe
2. 23. Duane Holmes
3. 31. Leroy Fer
4. 40. Kevin Hewitt
5. 44. Steve Hogg

Doesn't like a lot option but when up you considered Mitchell and Ince aswell it is. Tunnicliffe is a starter, Holmes a rotation and Fer a experienced Backup. Hewitt and Hogg may get debuts this year.

Right Midfield/Winger

1. 7. Ryan Freeman
2. 33. Joe Thomson
3. 42.Martyn Barr

Freeman is the obvious starter with Thomson as a cover. Barr is youngster option but is abit hit and miss

Left Midfield/Winger

1. 15. Rob Hall
2. 18. Shane Ferguson
3. 11. Franck Moussa
4. 36 . Max Hutchinson

Hall and Ferguson will have even rotation in this position, Moussa as a Backup and Hutchinson will be given his debut this season

Attacking Midfielder

1. 20.Ben Reeves (signed in next post)

Offer a little flexiblity and can try some new formation

Strikers

1. 32. James Bennett
2. 10. Dominic Samuel
3. 19. Bradley Whitehead
4. 17. Shane Long
5. 9. Ross McCormack

Loanee Bennett becomes my first option with Samuel and Whitehead close seconds with Long and McCormack as experienced backups.

Squad depth/Formation​

Just a few pictures of the new formation and the amount of the squad depth in the squad

4-4-2
View attachment 160361View attachment 160360View attachment 160359
This is our strongest formation and was used a lot last season

4-5-1
View attachment 160358View attachment 160357View attachment 160356
Another formation I used a lot last season for a more defensive approach but is very counter attack approach

5-3-2
View attachment 160355View attachment 160355View attachment 160354
With this formation I will play it against the bigger team with more defensive approach

4-2-3-1
View attachment 160353View attachment 160352View attachment 160351
With the addition of Ben Reeves I will include this formation as more of rotation formation .
