Team for next season?

[spyinthesky]

It seems Burnley & Sheffield Utd have started the season well in the Championship after relegation.

Unless something magical happens we will be relegated this season.

Just trying to cheer myself up (or not) with a view on the likely squad next season, as follows:

1. Baz/Macca..........Ramsdale sold (perhaps get our money back?)
2. Sugawara...........But could possibly be sold for a profit if he keeps his early season form up
                                So possibly Bree
3. Taylor..................Manning (possibly)
4.  ?????.................Downes sold.
                                Charles to return if his does well on his loan
                                Replacement needed. Possibly JWP return?
5.  Bednerak..........THB sold, possibly at a loss as he presumably would be a saleable asset.
6. Edwards.............Wood as cover, possibly Stephens too.
7. Amo Ameyaw.....Arma
8. Dibling..............Unless Chelsea or some other club comes in with a big bid.
9. Archer..............Stewart (if fit) Possibly Dom Ballard if he performs at Blackpool.
                              Need to get hold of a central striker who can actually score goals.
10. Fernandes........Possibly sold if he does well.
                               Lallana (possibly)/ Smallbone
11. BBD..................Edozie/Fraser

Manager.............Someone other than Russell Martin
 

All loan players will go as will Sulemana, Tall Paul, Bella Kotchap and sadly KWP on a free.
Cant see a place for Aribo, especially as he is one of the top earners.

Possibly with a different Manager/way of playing the game and some decent loans (or signings) the team may be competitive.
Fact of life the way things are going both pre season and the start of League games, us supporters are in for a very rocky ride and the only positives to consider is a return to the Championship and actually winning games, scoring goals and being defensively secure.

We have spent a fair bit, have a huge squad consuming huge wages....going down will not be any different to last time that anyone with talent is up for sale.

Martin of course will be gone, and we roll the dice again
