Very interesting and detailed.
RE: Developing Our Squad For Season 2021/22 - Tricky - 01-07-2021
The most interest point I picked up from that was the potential to drop Ryan yates into a CB position. I think that would work really well and would overcome some of the criticisms Ryan often gets playing as a CDM

Agreed, look what happened when Matty Cash was put in at right back turned him into an excellent player.

I'd be interested to see this tested out. Could be the replacement for Worrall

We don't need a replacement for Worrall he aint going anywhere.

Been impressed with Fornah and Fernandes so far. Perhaps this season is a bit too early for them but they both look like they could be handy in the future.
Can't make my mind up about Gabriel though.

Cash certainly had all the tools to make a top right back or wing back from the off. I like Yates, but I'm not sure his strengths play to CB role. He could certainly do a job there, but his biggest asset is work rate-wasted at CB.
So to be a really good CB in Championship what do you need? I tried it in order of what I think is important.
1.Heading ability: tick
2. Spotting danger early: not sure
3. Physicality: tick
4. Pace off the mark: not sure
5. Tackling ability: tick
6. Positional sense: unknown as CB
7. Good control: tick
8: passing range: tick
9: Able to carry ball out: tick
With hindsight 6 should probably be higher, but it was done quickly. The characteristics of a top RB (would include pace, attacking play, 1v1 defending etc), Matty Cash ticked every box except positional play, which he gained very quickly.
I wouldn't feel as confident that Yates would be a huge success at CB, but his attitude and application to improvement would probably prove me wrong.

I couldn't find this anywhere but I'm sure someone has posted it. This is our current squad for the upcoming season:
Keepers
Samba
Horvath
Smith
RB
Gabriel
Richardson
LB
Blackett
CB
Worrall
McKenna
Figs
Soh
DM/CM
Yates
Cafu
Colback
Fornah
AM
Carvalho
LW/RW
Lolley
Mighten
Johnson
Da Costa
Striker
Grabban
Taylor
Bomb squad
Arter, Jenkinson, Bong
Players Added (compared to last season)
Johnson
Horvath
Carvalho
Da Costa
Gabriel
Fornah
Richardson
Players Removed
Ameobi
Garner
Krovinovic
Christie
I've definitely forgotten some players and have not included some of the academy players we've been using so far in pre season. Can try and keep this updated, could even make it a sticky post (someone more senior is welcome to update it instead of me!)

So we probably need 2 RBs, 1 LB, 1 CM, 1 AM, 1/2 Strikers (depending on Taylor) to have a full squad. Or is that too much?
RE: Developing Our Squad For Season 2021/22 - Reds73 - 21-07-2021
Tyrese Fornah definately needs adding.
Richardson will go on loan as soon as we sign a left back.
He couldn’t get a regular game at L2 level last season so there is no way he can be even second choice.
Blackett will need to cover LB and CB positions.
