Who Today? 08:00 - Jun 26 with 20184 viewsisitme

With Rathbone on Monday and Done on Tuesday, which player will be announced as signing their contract extension today? I am going for Wilbraham on a one year deal.

It appears that these extensions are being drip fed up until the early bird season ticket deadline on Sunday in an attempt to 'drum up interest'.

Looking at the training gallery made me realise that, at least in terms of numbers, the squad actually isn't in as bad shape as I thought it was.

Lillis, Wade

McLaughlin, Matheson, McNulty, Delaney, MJWilliams

Camps, Rathbone, Morley, Dooley, Keohane, Hopper, Bradley

Henderson, Done, Andrew, Gillam, Wilbraham, Tavares


Obviously the big warning signs there are no LB at all (pls no Done) and lack of quality in central defence. Losing EEL, Nthle and Bunney means we've lost 3 of the back 5 that proved so successful in the last few months of the season.

With 6 forwards fighting it out for 2/3 places (and one of those nailed on to play every game when fit) I can't see any more recruits up front, at least not permanently.


There were 3 keepers training on Saturday morning

Youth team keeper?

With Matheson being involved likely there are other youth team players being integrated.

CB, LB, CM, ST they're the four key positions I see that need a quality addition, although it depends how we want to play and set up we don't really have any true wide players do we?!

But looking at that list of forwards, who can be relied upon consistently for goals other than Henderson? Done can certainly get some, but I think another option is needed.

Again, there are still too many players in that number attached to two poor seasons. That’s where BBM’ management will come in, I guess. Keohane will be used to plug gaps too, no doubt.

But yeah, that defence looks under strength to me and the midfield lacks an experienced head. I fully imagine the completely void left-back position, and others, will be filled in the coming days, however.

Could be either. They are both training in La Manga, Spain so he could swap between them and see which one he likes.

If you take out the youngsters that probably aren't ready yet

Lillis
McLaughlin, McNulty, Delaney, MJWilliams
Camps, Rathbone, Morley, Dooley, Keohane
Henderson, Done, Andrew, Gillam, Wilbraham

Then take out the players that are yet to prove themselves as first team regulars and you could argue a few more could be taken out than those that I have removed. (MJ, Delaney, Dooley??)

Lillis
McLaughlin, McNulty, Delaney, MJWilliams
Camps, Rathbone, Dooley
Henderson, Done, Andrew, Wilbraham

Then it doesn't look anywhere near as good.As well as looking to bring in some quality in a few areas I think we're really hoping some players come good that haven't so far. If they don't we'll be reliant on the loan market.

Not today but 3rd October according to Wikipedia is Luke Mathesons 17th hopefully he'll sign his pro contract with us. Maybe he'll be more involved this year than we think.

If Rekeil Pyke has been with the Terriers for ten years he can't be a duffer.....but his loan with us last season was n't exactly sparkling although he did have an injury....let's hope he get's loads of game time and really comes good quickly with a decent pre-season.

Obviously made a good impression last time out so that's good enough for me. Hope he can now get some fitness and show it on the pitch.

Is pyke confirmed?

Can’t see any more forwards if this is the case.

6/7 strikers is enough, even with levels of versatility of some.

Another battling midfielder and a centre back is probably going to be it I would say!
