The embodiment of what a KM player and squad is

Great characters, unfortunately, neither are good enough for the Premier League - then I can't really name any of our current players who I'd call absolute shoe-ins for a starting XI when we get promoted. Perhaps Dara.

I think we're a better team with Taylor in the starting 11. He gives us some 'bite' in midfield if that makes sense.

You mean he's very good at 'taking one for the team'?

I jest, we can now see why KM wanted him to stay and develop him. His whole game has become much more rounded with us.

Don't agree! Squad has been assembled to be a lot more PL ready. Furlong, Dara, Clarke, Jaden, Azor Mehmeti, Nunez, MacAteer, Leif amongst others will be in central plans.
That's the other thing KM has done this season. We will be going up a lot more prepared with a spine settled.
KM tweaked playing style too.

Tayls and Johnson great squad players. I'd keep both.

I seriously hope you're right.

My faith in KMcK has never wavered and nothing would make me happier than him staying in Suffolk and establishing us in the Prem over the next 2 or 3 years.

The optimist/fantasist in me says we are just 2 good striker additions away from staying up next year and Walle Egeli and Muric being Town's players of the season.

We're definitely in a much stronger position.

Will be interesting to see what we do in the summer.

Completely agree. I just hope KMcK's future is sorted either way very quickly so he, or his replacement, can assemble a united squad as soon as possible.

Taylor is the exact type of squad utility player you want in the premier League imo.

He can have a bit of fire in his belly sometimes. He's been a good signing as a solid squad player and good pro. It's been his best season for us. But unfortunately it's largely been down to Cajuste not finding his best. Taylor isn't a top champ midfielder. He's good and he is perfectly capable. But it's an area we simply to have to recruite well in next year.

Its all very well discussing players ability, readiness for the PL however we are not there yet.

I think O’Shea, Davis, Matusiwa and Philogene would be starters if we go up.

Nunez, Clarke, Mehmeti, Egeli, Burns, Taylor, Furlong, Greaves, Kipre, Walton probably good enough to be options but I don’t see them as likely first choice in their positions.

The rest I think will go.

I did not think delap was premier league ready when we bought him. To say someone in our team is definitely not ready is a bit much. We should give our core squad a chance to prove themselves. I think we have maybe a dozen players who can cope and we will need at least a dozen upgrades to compete. I hope we get them early and training quickly to gel, so are squad is up to speed quicker than this season.

You would like to think that the likes of Davis, O Shea and Greaves will be better for their previous experience. I still think that we will need major surgery to have a realistic chance of staying up.

I hope I'm wrong but I disagree. A lot of those players have either played in the PL and got relegated or have never played.

I agree i'd keep Johnson and Taylor as squad players, but if they're anywhere near the starting line up we'll be in trouble.

As others have said, I can't see many decent PL players in our squad. If we don't go up, I cant see many leaving for PL clubs.

After the poor pass which led to the first goal, I thought Johnson had an excellent game on Tuesday and kept their dangerous-looking No.77 at bay.

With Premier League experience, the ability to play on right and left and suited to a back 5 which we might well play on occasions, I would have thought we will keep him if we get promoted.

I'd agree that we need to be keeping both, their experience will be vital if we go up. They are both low maintenance, squad players with great attitudes, I think you'd struggle to find better squad options without spending decent money, and if we go up we're going to have to spend big anyway. Keeping hold of these guys is a no-brainer for me.

I think it's going to be a really interesting summer if we go up. There's the potential for a good spine, I can't see the back 4 changing much other than a few rotation options at CB/LB. Azor deserves his chance but needs a higher calibre partner, the front 4 is where the work is needed, especially in the 9 and 10 positions.

Depends on formation. If we keep playing 4321 I would have some concerns over Matusiwa. In a 3 I think he would be ok but in a 2 you are so exposed at that level and I think Azor has too many holes in his game to translate a lot of his performances to the top division.

I agree that Leif, Dara and Jaden are likely starters though

Delap was a close to elite physical specimen though. That can mask technical issues at times.

We don't have any athletes like Delap in forward areas now.
