Sutekh Andre GARCIA - 2026 - also attacking midfielder

Sam HARRISON - 2026 (Sam is listed everywhere as just a Defender).

Garcia's obviously been sold. Fairly certain Harrison is a centre-back.

Well Elliott is injured and out for the season so the club aren’t going to waste a space including him. Stickland I would therefore presume must also be in a similar boat (has he been in the u21s recently?) but because he’s not really missed no one has asked the manager where he’s gone.

Stickers has been playing for the U 21’s.

Thanks, obviously then, LR just feels Stickers isn’t ready for the first team, esp. now he has good experienced cover. Personally would agree, he’s never looked particularly convincing to me but he’s still young (22). Guess all will become clearer in May as the club have a year option on his current deal, which is up in the summer.
