Current Players Thread

[Sausage Roll]

Chris Wood is shown in one of the latest training photos and it looks like he's lost a bit of weight. He looks leaner than he did last season.

Let’s hope something clicks in preseason for him.

I was at Leeds at home and his display was being polite, nervy.

Not sure if he’ll be ready to start tomorrow but maybe the Leeds friendly might be some redemption for that game?

Name one player who didn’t have an off game for us last season?

Omar Richards didn't have an off game. 

He just had every game off.

SC
Taiwo
Wood
Hwang

Judging from the signings so far i would guess we are planning to play with wing backs and go for the low block pressure system with the view of a fast transition attack. Possession to be manly held at the back when we have it, with more of a view of direct passes into high % win areas to create attacking over loads while having a DMC and 3 CB's in case of a turn over.

First 11 and attacking options look strong however defensive cover looks the weakest area for the team.

Do we know any other changes?

[Sausage Roll]

I did see someone tweet today that Felipe was changing from 38 to 18 and Scarpa was changing too, but I can't remember what to.

[Redreg]

Can see kouyate leaving and 8 becoming available 3 and 6 will also be available and wonder if Brennan has taken 11 ?
