I think Robles can play out wide as well (and I think he might well do so).

I personally think we may well see a 4-3-3 at times - Hooper certainly did better on the left and playing him as the left of a front 3 could work.

Just need to make sure we have the midfielders to cover in a 4-3-3. It sounds as though Whitehouse certainly has the legs and (if he stays), so does Summerfield. Would make it difficult to choose between Rose and Clifton then, however.

It's still June before pre season begins. MJ said it himself that ideally you want everyone to sign before pre season but it's not always the case. Some will sign in July, some players join on trial during pre season and some of those will probably get signed. Then some join on deadline day before the window closes or sign in August after the season has begun. Nobody signs their entire team in June.

Based on the previous few seasons where we have signed very little at all early doors and ended up with triallists coming in the week before the season starts and getting contracts based on a good 45 minutes against Trinity or Brigg or trialiists taking 4/5 games to be assessed before we then give them a 2 yr deal ....i do think Jolley has started off ok.

Given when he came into the club he had his hands pretty much tied but still brought in Foxy & Sheffers shows he can deal and gives me some hope we will be better prepared come start of pre season than we have been in recent seasons.

I've been the first to criticise the transfer policy of the club. Allowing player of the years contracts to simply expire, waiting until late and shopping in the bargain bin before the inevitable panic loan signings and ageing mercenaries looking for their last deals. The board have been guilty of all of these, but not this time. Michael has begun assembling his squad before a lot of FL contracts have expired. It's only mid June and he and the board have made significant progress. That's all I ask, give us a fighting chance. I appreciate if you're going to get the good players signing early on, we may have had to pay good money. Money well spent IMO, if we have a smaller squad then fine, this is the way to conduct our business. Less chance of buying problems.

Jolley is probably on a foreign jolly seeking out our international signings with a love of bleak northern winter weather conditions so probably in Sweden or AN Other Scandinavian country.

Also it all seems to have gone quiet on Dembele since the Bradford bid was turned down........who knows he could still be a Town player next season.


When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”
