Healthy Competition For Starting Places

[Toni German]

When you look at our squad now, there's some pretty good competition for starting spots. First time I've been able to say that for years - we've always looked a bit thin on the ground.

Has to be a good thing.

Not On tonights showing. We have 13 or 14 Potentially good enough IMO

11 on a pitch at any 1 time so good enough for me!

This post is about competition for places though.

1st team :- Kenny

Dyer Hall Gabbidon Hill

Smith Faurlin Derry Tarrabt

Bothroyd Campbell


2nd team :- Cerny

Orr Gorkks Shittu Connolly

Ephraim Rowlands Buszacky Cook

Helguson Agyemang


Almost 2 players for every position, and some players not named in either of the above teams, so not doing too bad.....but could definately do with 1 or 2 more, left back and centre mid or a wide player i would say.

Only Helguson and Buzz are good enough cover for the Prem from that 2nd team. Gabbidon and Hall are suspect from the first team and Hill may also struggle.

Competition for places yes, good like for like swaps, no.

I would say Cerny, Orr, Connolly are capable replacements if needed.....i would also add Rowlands to that list if fit, but unfortunately dosen't look as though he's in the managers plans
