In my opinion this could be a big pre season for a few of our young players.
Make a really good impact and some could work their way into the first team squad.
I dont count MGW, Cundle, Fabio, Mosquera as they are already first team squad members along with Sarkic and Bolla who may come back from Grasshoppers.
Who does anyone think could make an impact?
A few I will be watching out for are,
Shabani, attacking central midfield player with excellent quality who has been hampered by injury
Given a chance and if he stays fit maybe he could shine in pre season.
Hugo Bueno and Ryan Giles. With Marcal gone both of these very talented left wing backs could stake a claim for a first team squad place next season
Nigel Lonwijk, Christian Marques. Both very promising centre backs who could well be involved in the squad in pre season.
Dexter Lembikisa. Energetic, quick and skill full right wing back who made a big impression in the u23's last season.
Joe Hodge. Really came into his own last season in central midfield towards the end of the campaign after being injured for months. Looks a very talented player
and with central midfield options light he could get a chance.
Harvey Griffiths. Another who impressed in the u23's and u18's last season. Tall and imposing and good on the ball.
Chem Campbell/ Theo Corbeanu. Both highly talented wingers. Could both find it hard to break into the squad due to the amount of attacking wingers we have.
Tyler Roberts, Lee Harkin, Nathan Fraser. All very talented strikers in their own way. Fraser in particular is a player I could see breaking through due to his physique and all round talent. Harkin although small in stature never gives up and is quick and skill full and had a good second half of the season for the u23's last season. Tyler Roberts is an explosive player with pace to burn and also strong. Had an excellent campaign for the u18's last season.
I may have missed a few out but we do have some very good young players and I am sure some will get a chance this pre season. Of course we do need signings but will be interesting to see how some of these lads and others get on in pre season.
My left field tip is Nathan Fraser to be around the first team squad in pre season. Also have a feeling a fully fit Shabani could be an asset.
Sorry for the long winded post but thought this was all worth mentioning with pre season starting at the end of this month.
