MON got a massive headache with the goalie department now. He surely has to stick with Bursik for now but Davies was in such great form. Gunn is 3rd choice for me! Maybe cancelling his loan will benefit all parties? But only 1 injury away from a crisis again. It’s a puzzler
Maybe Southampton have a recall option if either McCarthy or Forster are injured. If so it makes it less of a headache and we’ve still got Niki Mäenpää as the senior back up when fit, assuming he’s still under contract
Either way it’s a good headache to have, likewise with our centre back, midfield and winger options.
Should imagine looking to loan out Lindsay, Verlinden and Ince to lighten to load there. Would benefit the 3 of them who are clearly not wanted or not good enough
Rumours of new striker being priority I can see this being the main regulars - minus Campbell of course;
Bursik/Davies
Smith/Collins
Souttar
Chester/Batth
Fox/RND
Allen
Mikel/Clucas
Powell
NEW STRIKER/Fletcher

Clarke/Brown

Matondo/McClean













That a pretty strong looking team & more so if you add Campbell back in. My preference really would be Collins partnering Souttar instead of at right back
Then you add in the backup of Gunn, Shawcross, Gregory, Vokes, Thompson, Tymon, TOB, Cousins along with Lindsay, Ince & Verlinden it’s pretty strong and capable of having a strong 2nd half of the season. Even if we loan 2-3 out
