SQUAD REPORT
View attachment 125516
Now that we're about to embark on our first season in the Championship, I thought it would be a good time to go through the squad
GOALKEEPERS
1.Karl Hodges
View attachment 125515
Undisputed number 1 keeper Karl Hodges joined us from Aberdeen 2 years ago and is a solid goalkeeper in the Football League. He's the only keeper in the first team squad but we have backup ready in the reserves
FULL BACKS
2.Ray Bloom
3.Lewis Richards
12.Will Powell
17.Richard Peake

We have two very good full backs for this level in Richards and Bloom as well as two solid backups in Richard Peake and Will Powell, who can also play centre back. Richards and Bloom are both capable going forward as they proved last season and I hope they are as effective this time around
CENTRE BACKS
4.David Rogers
5.Brendan Lynch
16.Ian Day
34.Alekos Montesantos

We have, in my opinion anyway, the perfect blend at centre back in our squad. Two good players at this level, a dependable backup and an up an coming player who looks set to be a superstar. We also have left footers and two right footers to improve the balance and ensure that an injury to Lynch doesn't leave us screwed in the left centre back slot
MIDFIELDERS
6.David Walker
8.Ryan Smith
15.Terry James
33.Stephen Hopkins

A decent midfield with my only concern being a lack of depth in the box-to-box role. We only have David Walker who can play there naturally but David Rogers can play there which eases my concerns. Terry James is a coup and his experience is invaluable while Stephen Hopkins is just good to have around
WINGERS
7.Willie King
13.Niall Higton
14.Ceri Lacey
30.Carl Peters
View attachment 125502 View attachment 125501 View attachment 125500 View attachment 125499
A solid selection of wingers and we have good depth on both flanks. Lacey and Peters have experience beyond their years whilst Higton and King have the rawness and youthful exuberance to be a real handful at this level. King will usually start on the right as Peters is barely a League 2 winger (Although he somehow managed 25 goals and 20 assists across 75 appearances in League 1) while there will be plenty of competition on the left
ATTACKING MIDFIELDERS
10.Jose Maria Martinez
Ollie Robson
View attachment 125498 View attachment 125497
Its a bit of a shame that Robson will miss most of the start of the season through injury as he was sensational last season when he racked up 13 assists and won 12 Man of the Match awards. At least it means Martinez will have to hit the ground running if we want a good start
ATTACKERS
9.Mark Giles
11.Phillip Osbourne
18.Harry Kane
31.Billy Coveney

Now this is where the squad really shines. We have a Wales international who's scored 52 league goals in 115 league games for Wrexham in Mark Giles. Last season's League 1 top scorer with 33 goals and Wales international Phillip Osbourne. England's all time record goalscorer with 91 in Harry Kane and fan's favourite Billy Coveney who's scored 47 goals in 98 games for Wrexham
