Looks ok but whee is the enforcer?
Good question. I think that O’Nien’s physical characteristics: hard&well times tackling, good in the air, huge stamina places him well in the middle to be involved in the battles.

It’s hard to get any enforcer who’s got any actual footballing ability at this level, and were clearly trying to adopt a footballing style of play first and foremost.

I personally wouldn’t swap the technical ability of a good footballer for the physical side so I agree with how we’re going to set out - just got to hope we play good enough football to not be drawn into a scrap
 
I’m quite confident with that midfield tbh, I think their characteristics compliment eachother well and that it’s a 10 fold improvement on the average midfield deployed last season
They will all to have to perform to keep Dan Neil out of the team too which is a great situation for us. Assuming he's not playing left back like...

All well and good on paper but as we have seen so many times we get bullied out of games by teams who just rough us up.

We need a ball winner in there

He’ll be at LB until we sign one like

I think O’Nien is a ball winner - he showed it in central defence last season but I think that Stewart is stronger and better in the air than Wyke and Doyle is stronger than anything we’ve had their recently so we’ve definitely got more physical

I hope Doyle is as good in the league as he has been pre-season. There are no guarantees though. Wait and see time.
