IMO they give us a bloody lot!
With Mensah and Bennett it means we could go to 4-4-2 with two widemen and still have Byron Moore as cover for both wings and if we did that we would then have Sinclair, Ollie Clarke, Lines and Sercombe going for the two central midfield positions with Partington also able to play there.
We could play with one winger and three of the four central midfielders.
It seems both Bennett and Mensah could play forward positions and in the same way Ellis could easily play on the wing.
We have Ellis, Gaffney, Telford and Nicholls going for two forward positions but again could go to three forwards.
Onto the defence we now have the experienced head we have been after who could easily also captain the side and he can cover either the central defending positions or the full back spot which now means we have Lockyer, Craig, Sweeney and Broadbent all who could do useful jobs and I don't envy DC's job of selecting which ones to use!! Full backs could see Brown, Bola or Craig on the left and Bola could also challenge for the right back spot with Partington and Leadbitter.
It will be very interesting to see the team selected today and also who misses out completely on a squad place. I have a feeling that the bench will be more attacking for home games and more defensive for away games thereby using the whole squad.
On transfer day I was feeling let down but by 11am the following day IMO DC had done an excellent job and I fully expect the signings to put an extra 500 on the gate today. Its a very tough game today but it is also a very exciting one and DC has probably given himself a few headaches to think about who he will select to start after a great run of results!! UTG
