True

Swales as sweep(over)?

Interesting to see who’ll be playing full back. All 4 of our first teamers will be on holiday, Maffeo and Angelino have been sold and Duhaney has been released.

No worries there mate. Obviously they’ll just draft “Skip” & Glyn Pardoe back In :-)

Chappy, Our midfield enforcer

How come we always have less pre season games than other teams? With it being a World Cup year as well we might start the season slowly.

Oh no. The Rags will've won the league by the end of August, again.

Our issue is full-backs. Walker, Delph, and Mendy at WC. Zinchenko might be sold, Danilo injured for a month at least. We can still put out a squad comfortably for friendlies and Comm Shield but it's gonna be kids in defence. Surely a great oppo for them to break through.

RB has to be an EDS person.
LB might be a midfielder having to cover till Mendy is back. Foden works hard, Sane cannot do LWB but Pep might say he has to
