Loan for Tanganga coming up or just in the first team squad?
One big problem with that side is where will the goals come from ?
Tracey is not a regular goalscorer, built like Sissoko he contrinutes power and strong running. Poor technique so surprised he's still here but if played, probably wing or CM is best ?
Parrott is a natural goalscorer - if injured Etete is his obvious replacement. Or even Asante who was injured much of last season or even Mukindi (again injured for much of last season)
Richards is a decent winger/striker so good choice as part of a starting combination of goalscorers.
Markanday, like Sam Sashoua before him, as a decent AM but small, so look to him for assists but maybe not a hatful of goals ?
Oakley-Boothe is a low scoring AM - imo better played as a CM for that reason.
Rayan Clarke (bench) is a decent winger who scores a few goals too.
So imo, the loss will be down, at least in part, to poor team selection. Too many low/no scorers picked to be in AM/striker positions.
So rather than a front line that might have been something like :
Richards
Tracey, Oakley-Boothe, Markanday
Think of maybe :
Etete
Richards, Markanday Clarke
That way at least we look like scoring a few goals and assisting a few.
