LB - Jelly
CB - Austin
CB/RB - Canners

RM - Semps
CM - Sleath
LM - Hall

CF - Newsh
CF - Suarez

So we are only a centre back/right back and a centre mid away from a full team. Most of the team where first teamers from last season as well. Hall a direct replacement for Yates, only leaves Church and Pearson needing replacing (and possibly SWD if he doesn't sign)

and although the budget has been reduced i'm sure we'll get the right lads in, that even if we don't do as well as last season, they'll give everything because we've kept enough of this sqaud to keep that 'all in it together' mentality amongest the team
