Squad for 2025-2026

[Stranded]

Happy with Rushesha to be a squad option, main issue with him last season was he essentially got thrust into a starting position, out of position due to injuries.

Yep, he can cover a couple of spots for us and will be on the cheap side wages wise.

So that just leaves Craig, Ehibhatiomhan & Dorsett as first team players to hear about then? Rumours are the last two have signed - rumours on Craig seem to veer from one side to the other.

Actually surprised to find out he's only 22, about to turn 23, thought he'd been bouncing around longer than that so could still develop a bit as a player.

I like Tiv and I think he's a good option to have around the squad as a versatile young player.

If the rumours about Craig are true, Rushesha has a good opportunity this year.

[Royal Ginger]

Enjoyed his interview on twitter, he’s got a bit of personality which is atypical of young footballers.

Dorsett renews for a year.

Is Beacroft a RB? I thought he was a CB although admittedly based on football manager

And Osho could be as much a winger as full back, Rushesha varies between RB and CM.

Yeah there's a fair amountnof flexibility obviously. But it really highlights where the holes are CB and forwards.

Dorsett is a CB though, no?

[WestYorksRoyal]

Dorsett was originally a CB and has been played out of position due to lack of other options. I wonder if a specialist LB is the priority and then Dorsett can add CB depth. Get another senior CB and then you have O'Connor, A.N.Other, Stickland and Dorsett, which seems sufficient there to me. Yiadom emergency 5th choice.

I remembered him more as a LB but that may simply be as a result of not having any so him having to play there.
