Edwards was probably helped by him yes. He finished last season with one weakness and that was eradicated over the summer. That was defending the back post btw. Edwards was just criminally underrated by a lot of people including Rowett. You’re a master of the illusionary truth effect What illusion? Edwards should have started every game he was fit for last season. His back post defending was poor which is a big weakness for a full back. That is now spot on. He’s a lass act and should have been used way more than he has.

Out of the 4 strikers likely to be used next season what are people's thoughts on the right partnership :
Afobe and Vokes
Gregory and Vokes
Gregory and Afobe
Campbell and Vokes
Vokes and Campbell
Afobe and Campbell

I'm going for Gregory and Campbell

I’ll be very surprised if Campbell is still here, he’ll be sold or out on loan.
Don’t think any of Collins Souttar Verlinden and Campbell will stay tbh.

If Collins does go somewhere like Man Utd it could kill his career quite early. You can't blame him for going but he'd be better off breaking through at Stoke and getting some regular first team football under his belt. Souttar hasn't convinced me at all at Championship level although he did get rave reviews at Fleetwood - but that could well be his level. Another season on loan might not be a bad thing. Verlinden is unlucky in that he's an old school winger in a team that is likely to not need wingers. Unless he adapts his game it might be best if he did go for his own sake. Campbell isn't quite there yet from what I've seen. No problem testing him as a sub but we probably need to make a decision by the end of this season anyway. And anyway it's up to them to break through - we're not youth club.

If they do get sold what's the point in the academy? Just to sell any talent we have, so someone else profits, Short term thinking! we have 3 lads there that can comfortable play in our match day squad

Bollocks [img src= "//storage.proboards.com/800541/images/0m0lbCuTEBzaRn6f8QaM.gif" alt=" " class="smile"] Haha. I'll see your "bollox" (o-err, Mrs) and raise you with a "hogwash".
😉
More importantly, why are bayernoatcake & The Toxic Avenger parping on (& on) about Etebo on a thread about Lee Gregory? They're like 2 children. Why don't they open a separate thread instead of invading every other one. We are drawn by the title, & don't want to see these 2 clowns trying to score points off each other. What a way to waste your life.

And what brings you to this profound statement ? Collins is better off at Man Yoo and is seemingly thinking that way too. Campbell and Souttar will be loaned or sold. Souttar might depend on Collins though. Verlinden is the only one I'm guessing at tbh. But why would you stay as a winger for a manager who doesn't play wingers and played James McClean ahead of you? I just don't see how he gets games this season unless Ince and Bojan leave? Hope I'm wrong on them all as I'd have them all in the squad as good options and not just the odd game.

The younger players we have at the moment is certainly a condumdrun. On the face of it, the best crop for a long time, yet hard to see when they will get much game time next season.

But if this hadn't have surfaced I think we'd have sent him out on loan, which would have been wrong. Campbell as 4th choice is ideal. He's pacy and can finish. He's different to what we have and adds something we don't have. And that imo is a terrible attitude considering they've all pretty much proved they can do it. All should be part of the squad.

None of them have proved they can do it. Collins and Verlinden certainly look like they could make it at this level or higher, Campbell I'm not too sure about and Souttar has done nothing for me to show he's got what it takes. You've convinced yourself they have got what it takes but there is very little evidence in terms of actual game time in the first team to back up your opinion. I'd love to see the youngsters come through but it is up to them to prove they can do it - it's not down to the club to give them preferential treatment when it comes to first team appearances. We're a professional football club in a very competitive league and it's the manager's responsibility to put first team results first - and if that means bringing in some experience then that has to be the priority. It's up to the youngsters to block any new signings by demonstrating to the manager in training and when they get game time that they are the ones who deserve to be in the first team. I sincerely hope they do - but to say they have already is nonsense,

Vokes and Gregory to start, I guess, with Campbell off the bench. I would gladly get rid of Adobe for half what we paid, pdf (pretty damn fast) - he's no acrobat.

The levels of anticipation have now dropped so much that being told something we already know will get a bit of a 'so what' reaction from a great many of us.

Be interesting to see if they report for pre season before What would happen if a player had a serious accident before 1st July? When a player signs a contract with a forward date stipulated for its commencement (such as 1st July) is there a cooling off period, or anyway either party could stop the commencement of the contract? I'm aware the stock answer is "It depends on what is written in the contract", but I'm wondering what is normal.
