Squad under Warnock

[stainrodisalegend]

OK, this assumes he comes and we don't go down, but what do you think cd be our realistic matchday starting eleven for the first day of next season?

I'd go for something like:

Cerny or Speroni or Heaton (was actually happy with Cerny but if its all over for him with us then one of the other two).

Right back: Legs/ Voltz (don't think Clyne realistic tho loved to be proved wrong)

Left back: Spurr (Sheff Wed in trouble)

Centre half: two of Gorks/ Connolly/ Killgallon

Left midfield: Ambrose/ Cook

Right mid: Buz

Centre: two of Watson/ Faurlin/ Rowlands/ Mahon

Up front: Simpson and either Hooper or Kitson with a couple of decent-ish strikers to come off the bench (Cousin and even Helguson or a young up and coming striker like Jackson).

I'd also love to keep Tarabt but realise that unlikely, and probably not a Warnock kind of player anyway.

Anyway, wd the above be realistic with likely the budgets available (£7m has been mooted)? Is it the kind of team Warnock wd want? Above all, wd it get us up?

I think Ben Watson will be a priority target for Warnock.

Unless a Prem team sign him (WBA?), then I reckon he'll be our player next season.

Hope you are right Goddard. I got really frustrated with him in his last few games as he was clearly going through the motions but if we cd get him motivated - as presumably he wd be under his old manager - and playing like he did in those opening few games for us I think he cd be a cracking player. The central midfield role is pivotal and (no disrespect intended) you can't rely on Rowlands or Mahon with their injury issues.

newcastle maybe the exception yeh cos they have nicky butt and kevin nolan,danny guthrie and joey barton who are all premiership class players.

IMO rowly on his day is one of the best outside the prem

Kilgallon is featuring regularly for Sunderland so there is no chance of landing him.

I think Clyne is a realistic target, as is Daniel Fox when Burnley are relegated.

I would love us to sign Heaton or a young number 2 to compete with a more experienced Number 1. Somebody like Speroni, Westwood at Coventry or even Murphy at Scunny would all be good for us.

McLean at Posh, Hooper at Scunny, Church at Reading, Maynard at Bristol City, Barnard at Saints or Austin at Swindon would all be realistic and add depth to the squad.

Kebe at Reading and Lallana at Saints are both having good season and for various would suit a Warnock side.
