We’ve learned a lot about the new manager in the past week, in particular about how he likes to play with an emphasis on building from a back four.
Villa seemed to have predominantly gone with 4-3-3 as their preferred set up, with a few variations on that but always seemingly with a back 4.
Who have we currently got who will fit this shape, and what might we need? (Each position x 2 for cover)
GK
RB CB1 CB2 LB
DM
CM CM
RW LW
ST
There’s no way we can go on a massive spending spree to fill any gaps and I think it’s much more likely we will making maximum use of the loans system to bring players in. I can foresee a situation where we max out on loans (is it still 4 in a match day squad permitted?)
RB/LB remain our biggest gaps — likely loan options
CB — if he promotes Masterson and we recall Dewijs we’re ok?
DM — Field (sorry to see you go Dom!)
CM — ok with Willock, Amos, Dozzell and Chair, Johansson Thomas?
ST — likely one of the loan options
