Looking Forward.

[Nolan]

There's going to be wholesale changes.

Who, if anyone, out of the current squad do you see being:

Captain

Vice Captain

Set Piece Taker

 

For me.

Bednarek to captain the side in the Championship

Smallbone potentially to be behind him as Vice.

Alcaraz on attacking Freekicks

C - Not at the club

VC - Stephens

SPT - Bree, he's as good as jwp  (Jones's words not mine)

[Toussaint]

I hope Jack comes back and he’d make an excellent captain, assuming our little snowflakes have fluttered off elsewhere. Vice - Bednarek, free kicks, maybe Peraud if still here.

Alcaraz has scored a few from set pieces in his time, I believe.

If he stays.

Longer term, Kami Doyle is a gun set piece taker - with either left or right foot.

If he stays.

I don't think the Captain is at the club, I think this is the summer we recruit a new captain who can come in and shake it up a bit.

Vice Captain, again...no idea. Lack of leadership throughout the side, so it's hard to pin that on anyone. Maybe Stephens if he comes back?

Set Piece taker will almost certainly be Smallbone, he's got a very similar technique to JWP and delivers great crosses from the inside right in open play as well.

The Morten Hjulmand ship might well have sailed now (we were supposedly very keen to sign him in January), but he's a defensive midfielder (which we'll need), who is also Lecce's skipper.

2 points above the relegation zone in Serie A. We probably need them to go down if a move here is to look attractive.

[Appy]

Captain should be someone like Conor Coady, experienced player of that ilk, but it’ll probably end up being Lyanco. 

[Yorkshire Saint]

Apparently Bournemouth are in negotiations over Stephens and Saints are being a bit stupid with the asking price but I dont expect him to.be at St Mary's. 

[Whitey Grandad]

I’d rather have a new back line that didn’t include Bednarek.

Agreed

[Mustapha Fag]

I'm sure I heard on Solent during HT on Saturday that Bournemouth want to sign Stephens but Saints were haggling over the fee

[Saint_clark]

I'd be ok with one of Stephen's or Bednarek in the team alongside a new signing (or ABK if we can keep him) but if we get promoted their spot in the team should be the first upgraded.
