Newly promoted side Ipswich Town are the most recent focus of this series
For a full breakdown check out the brilliant document produced by @Thomas_Lane11

LCB: Eiran Cashin
Derby have already lost a key player, so they’ll be reluctant to let go of Cashin too. But there are scarce few better left sided centre backs than the young Irishman
I’m a big fan of sides recruiting players from the division they’ve been promoted from
RB: Fankaty Dabo
Ipswich may want to add some Championship experience, with free agent Dabo providing just that
He was part of a Coventry side who were almost promoted. He’s better than that penalty miss, and would add genuine quality to their side
CM: Oliver Norburn
Another experienced operator they could add is transfer listed Norburn. He had a strong end to the campaign and has been a regular in the Championship recently too
Peterborough isn’t TOO far from Ipswich, so the geography works too.
RW: Josh Bowler
A player who is in need of a career revival is Bowler, who will surely be surplus to requirements at Forest
He’s shown in the past he’s an excellent player at this level, netting 11 goals in his last 2 Championship seasons. A loan move would work well
ST: Sam Smith
One of the released strikers who will be most sought after is Cambridge’s Smith. He’s hit double figures yet again in a below average side, and I feel he’s capable of the step up
Cambridge is around an hour from Ipswich too so the geography works too

Luke Williams’ latest recruit is attacking midfielder Crowley
He’s especially interesting as he’s spent much of his career in the Netherlands
Here is a thread on the new man, and what we can expect from him 👇
The Key Stats
Age: 25
Height: 5ft9
Last Club: Morecambe
Position: AM (as shown in graphic)
22/23 (League One):
Games: 21
Goals: 2
Assists: 5
1.25 Chances Created per 90
671 passes completed (87% accuracy)
8 tackles won (73% accuracy)
The first thing that catches the eye about Crowley is the speed and quickness of his movement. In particular, how quickly he’s able to manipulate the ball by shifting his feet
Here he completely takes the defender out of the game, opening the space for a perfectly weighted pass
🧵🏴 England play against North Macedonia tonight. England aren’t adverse to former Non-League players, with Mings in the current squad potentially playing tonight
So here is an XI of players in Non-League who I feel could one day pull on the famous 3 Lions Shirt 👇
Owen Foster
Scunthorpe’s 18 year old keeper Foster had a brilliant stint when called upon last season, so much so that he is now going on trial at several Championship clubs
A brilliant shot stopper, Foster has massive potential. Needs the right development
Kellen Fisher
Okay, so Fisher isn’t technically a NL player anymore BUT he only just moved to Norwich, so I’m counting him here
That move says it all for him really - he has genuine potential to be a top right back. He’s already mature beyond his years at 18
Promoted side Sheffield Wednesday were requested yday afternoon. So here are 5 players they could look at based on YOUR suggestions
Remember to comment your team + 5 positions below 👇
GK: Josh Vickers
Wednesday rotated their keepers last season, so you’d expect them to need to add another safe pair of hands
Vickers is exactly that. He’s based fairly locally, so geography works, and he’s shown over a number of years he’s a very capable keeper
CB: Lloyd Jones
A defender I’d like to see make the step up with Wednesday is Jones. He’s been brilliant for Cambridge for a number of years, and is now available on a free
A strong defender, one in his prime at 27, Jones is capable on the ball & would be a cost effective move
