Current Squad

i think we already have a team that could give accrington a big test in game one. not bad considering we are going up a league, and it is only the first few days of pre-season.
way ahead of many many of our early pre season squads.
 
No idea where to put Payne and Grant so classing them as wingers/No 10’s

Goalkeepers (2):
Grant Smith (June 2020)
Josh Vickers (June 2020)

Defenders (5):
Cian Bolger (June 2021)
Michael Bostwick (June 2020)
Neal Eardley (June 2020)
Jason Shackell (June 2020)
Harry Toffolo (June 2020)

Central midfielders (5):
Ellis Chapman (June 2020)
Lee Frecklington (June 2020)
Michael O'Connor (June 2020)
Tom Pett (June 2020)
Joe Morrell (Season-long loan from Bristol City)

Wingers/No 10’s (4):
Harry Anderson (June 2020)
Bruno Andrade (June 2020)
Jack Payne (???)
Jorge Grant (???)

Strikers (3):
John Akinde (June 2021)
Matt Rhead (June 2020)
Jordan Adebayo-Smith (June 2021)

Still needed in my opinon (without any outs)

Winger,
Striker,
2 x defenders to cover RB, LB & CB
 
Don't know if I'm reading too much into it but on the official site Tom Pett has been listed among the strikers. Is a change of role for him in the offing with all the centre of the park signings?

And he vanished altogether for a while on the official site. Perhaps in between being deleted as a midfielder and adding back in as a forward....
Guess you might conclude Bruno imminently departing and Pett heading back onto left wing. Or else the website updater wasn't sure!
