Now ask me a tough question

GK- Lonergan - Very good signing and fairly young for a keeper, good enough at this level.

RB- Connolly- Average RB but you'd have to look hard for better to bring in at this level.

CB- Lees- Done fairly decent this season, still fairly young and he's had to make a big step up.

CB- Gimpel- Big prospect for the future.

LB- White- Young, genuine pace, very good season and can play both LB and LW.

CM- Clayton- Started very well and has scored a couple of important goals against both Bristol and Leicester. Likes to pass the ball, quick turns to find the right option but needed quality to help him out as at times he was our main man this season and that responsibility seemed too big.

Howson- CM- Very good, did a job in a deeper role earlier on and was just having a bigger influence before his injury.

Snodgrass- RW- Obvious class, whether we will be able to hold onto him is very uncertain though

Becchio/Somma/McCormack- ST- I'd say all are average strikers. Becchio only one capable of playing lone striker role. Depends how Somma recovers from his injury, scored goals from the bench, but needs/needed a consistent run in the team. McCormack, the potential is there as he has shown at times this season, but he needs to get his goalscoring form back. He's not lightning quick like Beckford so isn't the same luxury he was where you knew on the counter he was very dangerous and some defenders couldn't live with him.
