I reckon Smith will be back. Just a hunch.

The general consensus is there isn’t actually that much of a gap between the top of non league and the top of L2, let alone the bottom of it, given the budgets and quality of player flying around at the top of our league. I could observe with my own eyes that the standard is way higher this time we got promoted to last. Cherry picking the best players from the top NL clubs may be the way to go as there may be less competition for them, they’ll all have points to prove if they’re coming up from non league and we’ll end up with a squad genuinely capable of challenging for promotion again!

A teacher like yourself should recognise the difference between re-sign and resign..

As others have said, I think Smith will be coming back. Won’t be involved with Hull’s first team next season so they’ll be looking to give him another EFL loan. I’d expect Longe King to move on and Pearson to be 4th choice with more of a focus on coaching for him.

Quoted from Mariner_09


Efete could play as a wing back, he has all the attributes needed for that role.



He was tried there at times last season and was pretty poor. Stockport away springs to mind with revan on the other wing.

He isn't suited at all apart from having a great engine to get up and down. He doesn't have a good cross from deep in him and almost never attempts to, which is essential for a wing back. He doesn't offer width in the final third by trying to go past his man and crossing from the bye line (well he does very occasionally but its rare). His attacking play is more about coming inside rather than offering width. In that Stockport match clifton came on to replace revan and offered more going forward in the final 10 than the pair of them had in the previous 80, even on his weaker side. Attacked the box with speed and a couple of cutbacks one of which fox should have done much better from. Clifton is our best wing back.

Effete's actually more of a wide centre back in a 3 himself really, (likewise crookes who is tall for a full back and actually played in the 3 in that match against Stockport I believe) and Hurst has said he can see him in that role himself. Effete has height and is good in the air as shown by several goals scored the other end. He is very strong, and although he has decent speed for a full back for a central defender he would be very quick for a  entral defender.

He isn't perfect for that role though, his passing is very poor so wouldn't be comfortable knocking it across a 3 I don't think. And  I think his defending when the ball is on the deck in the box leaves a bit to be desired and prone to the odd erratic error. Which is perhaps explains why Hurst hasn't trusted him there.
