Pre-season has shown very little in the way of a cutting edge going forwards and, at the time of writing, we are woefully short up front. We lack a lot of pace now that Browne and Whyte are no longer in the squad. Fosu hasn’t shown anywhere near enough yet, but hopefully there is more to come from him. Woodburn needs a good season and perhaps he is currently our best hope as it stands.
On a more positive note Cadden looks a step up from Long and especially McMahon. People seem to rate Elliott as a replacement for Nelson, personally, I’ll admit I’ve never heard of him before now, so can’t really say? KR generally does well in the recruitment department, with a couple of notable exceptions.
Midfield appears to be our real strength and in depth too, with plenty of options to choose from. Gorrin looked promising in pre-season and the eventual return of Baptiste will be a further boost in this area.
So many late additions to the squad, including the anticipated very late arrival of a couple of strikers, will probably see a difficult start to the season again. If we can get real quality up front and an injection of pace into the team, then I’d hope we can turn our fortunes around a bit quicker this time, although it’s hard to see much more than a mid table finish again as it stands. 12th.
