SHA Small Heath Alliance

Out of squad :
Ducksch
TGH If the injury is very serious
Leonard
Buchanan
Wright

In possibilities:
10 - gelhardt
Lw - Osman
CM - Who knows.

Lots of people on here suggesting BOS will go, think recruitment is focused on other areas so just can’t see it myself

I guess injuries to Leonard and TGH mean they will be on the wage bill for most of the season, or Jan window at least

We're a midfielder and a left winger away from a fantastic squad here. I reckon Jay plays behind Priske at home, where Fujimoto is in that graphic

Especially if we replace Ducksch with Gelhardt as is rumoured

If we sign Gelhardt he'll start the season behind Priske

Think it'll be stansfield personally, gelhardt hasn't had any gametime in pre season has he?

They will be insured which will cover some if not all of the costs.

I’m really sorry if everyone feels different but looking at that photo n the doe we’ve spent last few seasons does this not feel very meh? For me full backs look like you’ll struggle with any rhythm of consistency, midfield short on numbers and dont see 1 player who takes the game by the scruff of the neck. Let alone anybody who will single handly win you a big game?

I dont see many squads way out in front of us. Likely still some ins to take place with CM being one of them.

Take our opponents Saturday, one of the teams that like us will be hoping for top 8.

Our squads are largely much of a muchness but I'd say we have better depth particularly in defence.

Squads always look a little bit thin on those graphics, but there are some excellent players there, with probably 4 more to come in. I think it’s a very tidy squad personally

If we sign Gelhardt he'll start the season behind Priske

Not sure he walks straight into the XI (Priske looking good, Stanno loved, knows system, still good, Gelhardt lack of match practice) but could see a world where he takes his chance quickly.

In any case, having Gelhardt, Stansfield & Priske pushing for starts over 46 games is a real strength - all capable of hitting double figures with the right game time.

Stansfield needs to be managed better imo. Been ran into the ground last few years.

Competition for his place will mean no more playing through injuries and a long runs of poor form.. Best thing for him.

Cant disagree with this point

A creative CM/10 in there would make a huge difference.

Ideally a creative CM who can also provide a shield when needed mind given the set up.

The graphic really highlights that we desperately need some more quality in CM if we really want a chance of promotion this season

If we can achieve that plus Osman and another striker (with Wright & Ducksch moved on) then we should be confident of getting at least a play off spot
