Neither did Evina but he keeps getting mentioned as a player we have lost from last season.
On paper by numbers we are worse but as i've said before most of those we've lost weren't performing so it could be said they aren't really a loss. Imo playing players in their proper positions and not freezing players out will make up for having a smaller squad

I’m guessing he means Mandeville who at one stage was looking like a real prospect until injury then reportedly getting frozen out because he didn’t openly display upset at being dropped.

A few players missing Alcock, Williams, baudry, Keegan, Taylor Sinclair and Middleton didn’t play for us last season.

Middleton I hunk did start the season with us but was out permanently before the end of the transfer window.
Yet again why is Anderson not being classed as strengthening the squad and replacing Baudry? after all he was only on loan last season and not one of our own

If that is the case we are definitely weaker.

Just remind me who we have lost
Anderson was a replacement for Baudry last season as he was brought in to cover his injury so he is a direct replacement for him
Quote from: DearneValleyRover on August 10, 2018, 12:44:36 pmAnderson was a replacement for Baudry last season as he was brought in to cover his injury so he is a direct replacement for himMaybe he was seen that way DVR, but in the squad analysis above comparing April/May with August, Anderson is present in both cases, so replaces no-one. However if you say only 3CBs are necessary (I personally would prefer to see 4, although maybe Luke can be seen as a 4th CB) then you could say our top 3 CBs are on a par.
