Either way, nice to have options 👍
Wasn’t that the brief regarding Koch. Wherever he plays I hope he is a success, regarding three relegations he may have just been at the wrong club at the wrong time…………hopefully.

Ampadou as the holding mid, Adams as the box to box, Rutter as the 10, Sini/Gnonto/Cry as the wingers

Adams isn't a box to box. Gnonto and Summerville will probably be gone.

You're not saying much there MC :)

Alan Carr, the Chatty Man, is a hard man compared to Aaronson 8-)

Don't worry Leon, we've got lots of midfield cover :)

Remember "He's like a new signing" 🤣

Guess who?

Oh I know mate, and don't even mention that lazy, fat boy McKennie, disgrace.

I've watched Ampadu playing a number of times for the Taffs and think he's a decent player, with a strong competitive spirit.

You forgot that other weak child Roca :x

He isn't a defensive mid.... he didn't play the Kalvin role for us last season..

No... but he doesn't progress the ball or create much either...

He was my MOM yesterday, just in front of the outstanding Gruev who was unfortunately hauled off, otherwise it would have been him.
Our midfield is seriously lacking in goals. (don't include wingers Mr Pedantic)

I had Gnonto, Roberts & Rodon just in front of Amps, all a matter of opinion,

Gruev our best defensive midfielder should never have been subbed, especially as we had so many attackers on the pitch.

From where I was sat, Gruev won just about everything and made a lot of forward passes, made it all tick in the midfield, when he went off we lost it in the middle, same with Gnonto who put a lot of effort in especially tracking back.
