Personally I don't think bannan plays as well at 10 as he does as a regista pulling to the left. Almost every manager we have iad have looked at his skillset and said "you have the skills of a 10, we need to get you on the ball further up the pitch" but on the past this has just made him less effective. So I'd swap fusire for bannan and put Grainger or another in at 10.
I suspect, given the amount of CBs we have, that we will be looking at 3-4-3 or 3-5-2,with Liongola and Lowe as wing backs, definitely Bannan and Slattery in midfield. I'd like to srart with Barry Gray and Grainger as my front three, but suspect Grainger will be on the bench with Jamal Lowe starting. Centre back is Dish and then any two from five.
I remember Henrik Pedersen saying that not soon after the end of the season, but things could've changed?
Like Tom Moore I'm seeing the players and their types recruited (and those expected to be so) as hinting more towards a 3-4-3/3-2-2-1 type system with two 10s behind a striker. Liongola and Adaramola are both wingbacks and not natural defenders to the extent they may need to be. Although I guess you could say we'll expect to have the ball a lot, so their recovery speed more than their defensive skillset will be more important when looking at what they would bring to defence in a back four.
There are also a lot of centrebacks for a back four? Santos, Cooper, Bernard, Otegbayo, Swinkles but only two spots.
Brilliant Joe thanks just what I needed thank you
I have Santos in place of Bernard due to fitness but agree with you. I thought he was a little behind.
Massive strides made but still lot of work to do

Not according to Henrik, mate. He’s spoken about going with four at the back.

I think we’ll still see some exits, and I think he wants attacking fullbacks as well as defensive one. Also think he played a back four vs WBA.
No mention of Ugbo in the strikers, do we know what's happening with him?
He’s training with the kids
